So one of the early things I want to do is rename and redescribe alot of the stock skills/spells, to give them my own flavor.

I started by changing mistwalk to shadowstep. I used windows search to find all examples of mistwalk, changed them and recompiled. But upon logging in, I still have mistwalk on my admin's skill list, and if I type 'mistwalk' or 'shadowstep' both commands return with a "Huh?".

Code changes:



in skills.c

void do_shadowstep( CHAR_DATA* ch, const char* argument)
{
   char arg[MAX_INPUT_LENGTH];
   CHAR_DATA *victim;
   bool allowday;

   set_char_color( AT_DGREEN, ch );
   if( IS_NPC( ch ) && IS_AFFECTED( ch, AFF_CHARM ) )
   {
      send_to_char( "You can't do that right now.\r\n", ch );
      return;
   }
   if( ch->mount )
   {
      send_to_char( "And scare your mount to death?\r\n", ch );
      return;
   }
   one_argument( argument, arg );
   if( arg[0] == '\0' )
   {
      send_to_char( "Who will be your victim?\r\n", ch );
      return;
   }
   WAIT_STATE( ch, skill_table[gsn_shadowstep]->beats );
   if( ( victim = get_char_world( ch, arg ) ) == NULL || victim == ch )
   {
      send_to_char( "You are unable to sense your victim.\r\n", ch );
      return;
   }
   if( IS_PKILL( ch ) && ch->pcdata->condition[COND_BLOODTHIRST] > 22 )
      allowday = TRUE;
   else
      allowday = FALSE;
   if( ( time_info.hour < 21 && time_info.hour > 5 && !allowday )
       || !victim->in_room
       || xIS_SET( victim->in_room->room_flags, ROOM_PRIVATE )
       || xIS_SET( victim->in_room->room_flags, ROOM_SOLITARY )
       || xIS_SET( victim->in_room->room_flags, ROOM_NO_ASTRAL )
       || xIS_SET( victim->in_room->room_flags, ROOM_DEATH )
       || xIS_SET( victim->in_room->room_flags, ROOM_PROTOTYPE )
       || xIS_SET( ch->in_room->room_flags, ROOM_NO_RECALL )
       || victim->level >= ch->level + 15
       || ( IS_NPC( victim ) && xIS_SET( victim->act, ACT_PROTOTYPE ) )
       || ( IS_NPC( victim ) && saves_spell_staff( ch->level, victim ) )
       || ( CAN_PKILL( victim ) && !IS_NPC( ch ) && !CAN_PKILL( ch ) )
       || !in_hard_range( ch, victim->in_room->area )
       || ( IS_SET( victim->in_room->area->flags, AFLAG_NOPKILL ) && IS_PKILL( ch ) ) )
   {
      send_to_char( "You are unable to sense your victim.\r\n", ch );
      learn_from_failure( ch, gsn_shadowstep );
      return;
   }
   /*
    * Subtract 22 extra bp for mist walk from 0500 to 2100 SB 
    */
   if( time_info.hour < 21 && time_info.hour > 5 && !IS_NPC( ch ) )
      gain_condition( ch, COND_BLOODTHIRST, -22 );
   act( AT_DGREEN, "Your surroundings blur as you assume a form of churning mist!", ch, NULL, NULL, TO_CHAR );
   act( AT_DGREEN, "$n dissolves into a cloud of glowing mist, then vanishes!", ch, NULL, NULL, TO_ROOM );
   learn_from_success( ch, gsn_shadowstep );
   char_from_room( ch );
   char_to_room( ch, victim->in_room );
   act( AT_DGREEN, "A cloud of glowing mist engulfs you, then withdraws to unveil $n!", ch, NULL, NULL, TO_ROOM );
   do_look( ch, "auto" );
   return;
}

in db.c


short gsn_shadowstep;

and 

ASSIGN_GSN( gsn_shadowstep, "shadowstep" );

in mud.h


DECLARE_DO_FUN( do_shadowstep );

and

extern short gsn_shadowstep;

in smaug.def


gsn_shadowstep @ 2333 DATA

and

do_shadowstep @ 2115

I then changed the skill name in the class list in Vampire.class and updated the helpfile. I could understand why it might not be working because my immort isnt a vampire with BP, but I cant explain why its still in my skills list and why both commands give me a "Huh?"

In the system directory, grep or search for the skill in question. In skills.dat:


#SKILL       
Name         mistwalk~
Type         Skill
Info         0
Flags        0
Minpos       112
Mana         50
Rounds       12
Code         do_mistwalk
Dammsg       ~
Wearoff      !Mist Walk!~
Minlevel     31
End

You need to change them too. The Name part is what it matches against when you type a command in, thus the Huh? you are getting.

That maps the command "mistwalk" to the command handler "do_mistwalk".

Hrmm I wonder why the search didnt bring this up. I noticed it also didnt bring up the word in the helpfile or the class files. Seems odd since I did the search in the root directory, /smaugfuss, which all the other files are contained in.

At any rate, thanks a bunch.
