How-To-Xcenter, coded by Xrakisis
/* xcenter.c */
-Put load_balance, save_balance and do_xcenter in either xcenter.c or another file of your choosing.
The Way this howto snippit works is it draws every Class's weapon levels, Number_attacks, Damcap,
Parry, Dodge and Middy from a txt file in the txt dir. I included two entrys in do_xcenter for you
to see how each class's args are set up. when you originaly make the txt file make it 6 0's on top
of each other for every class you have in xcenter.. the purpous of xcenter is to be able to balance
your classes from within the mud.
-There will be a number associated with every class, this is not the class bit but an independant number
just used to store info in the txt file and draw the info from the file.. the two entrys for Demon and
Werewolf below will show you how to set up all your args for all your classes..
Angel in xcenter was given the number 5, so every balance[5] is angel for my example
fight.c
if (IS_CLASS(ch, CLASS_ANGEL)) count += balance[5].number_attacks; // number_attacks
if (IS_CLASS(ch, CLASS_ANGEL)) max_dam += balance[5].damcap; // update_damcap
if (IS_CLASS(ch, CLASS_ANGEL)) chance -= balance[5].parry; // parry
if (IS_CLASS(victim, CLASS_ANGEL)) chance += balance[5].parry; // parry
if (IS_CLASS(ch, CLASS_ANGEL)) chance -= balance[5].dodge; // dodge
if (IS_CLASS(victim, CLASS_ANGEL)) chance += balance[5].dodge; // dodge
kav_fight.c (improve_wpn)
if (IS_CLASS(ch, CLASS_ANGEL)) max_skl = balance[5].wpnlvl; // weapon Level
update.c if you have weapon levels in an update in update.c just make an aditional entry
for wpnlvl in there for each class
example of /txt/balance.txt, this is what it would look like to start if you only had one class in xcenter.
