i am getting frustrated, because i need to add room_flags but i am out of bitvectors, i just now tried a
typedef enum
{
}
containing all of them, but is there a better way to do this to get more than 32 room flags?

The latest SMAUG uses "extended bitvectors" which are supposed to give you about 4 times that many.

Look for this stuff in mud.h ...


/*
 * Defines for extended bitvectors
 */
#ifndef INTBITS
  #define INTBITS   32
#endif
#define XBM     31  /* extended bitmask   ( INTBITS - 1 )   */
#define RSV     5   /* right-shift value  ( sqrt(XBM+1) )   */
#define XBI     4   /* integers in an extended bitvector    */
#define MAX_BITS    XBI * INTBITS
/*
 * Structure for extended bitvectors -- Thoric
 */
struct extended_bitvector
{
    int     bits[XBI];
};

...


/*
 * Here are the extended bitvector macros:
 */
#define xIS_SET(var, bit)   ((var).bits[(bit) >> RSV] & 1 << ((bit) & XBM))
#define xSET_BIT(var, bit)  ((var).bits[(bit) >> RSV] |= 1 << ((bit) & XBM))
#define xSET_BITS(var, bit) (ext_set_bits(&(var), &(bit)))
#define xREMOVE_BIT(var, bit)   ((var).bits[(bit) >> RSV] &= ~(1 << ((bit) & XBM
)))
#define xREMOVE_BITS(var, bit)  (ext_remove_bits(&(var), &(bit)))
#define xTOGGLE_BIT(var, bit)   ((var).bits[(bit) >> RSV] ^= 1 << ((bit) & XBM))
#define xTOGGLE_BITS(var, bit)  (ext_toggle_bits(&(var), &(bit)))
#define xCLEAR_BITS(var)    (ext_clear_bits(&(var)))
#define xIS_EMPTY(var)      (ext_is_empty(&(var)))
#define xHAS_BITS(var, bit) (ext_has_bits(&(var), &(bit)))
#define xSAME_BITS(var, bit)    (ext_same_bits(&(var), &(bit)))

like the ones for objject types or object flags? will they still work right if i convery the current ones to extended bitvectors? or would i need to change all the code? am example of how to change these two example values would be greatly appreciated: (these are just examples)

#define ROOM_DARK BV00
#define ROOM_DEATH BV01

thanks in advance.

For the defines, instead of:



#define ROOM_DARK BV00 

#define ROOM_DEATH BV01 



you would have:





#define ROOM_DARK 0

#define ROOM_DEATH 1







To test, instead of:





  if ( IS_SET(pRoomIndex->room_flags, ROOM_DARK) )





you would have:





  if ( xIS_SET(pRoomIndex->room_flags, ROOM_DARK) )





For the room flags, instead of:





    int         room_flags;



 

you would have:





    EXT_BV    room_flags;





To read the bits, instead of:





  room_flags = fread_number (fp);





you would have:





  room_flags = fread_bitvector (fp);





... and so on. It will be a big job. :)
