| Ok, I've been looking through the fight.c (finally got time to do some work on the code, so I may as well start actually doing something), and see a list of ATCK_*, some of which refrence things like do_*, others that go through slookup.
My question about this is: It me, or does that not make much sense? It seems like a bad way to handle that to me, and was wondering if anyone thought there would be a problem changing that to run purely from progs (keeping the code itself in for backward compatability for areas)
On another of my threads, I think it was Whiteknight who mentioned using a database to handle files instead of using the default text-based .dat files. My question is (I havn't dealt with this kind of thing, well, ever), what is the diffrence between database systems and all that stuff? Links or just an idea on what is out there would be nice. I've seen refrences to I think it is MySQL, but like I said, this is new territory to me. | | Top |
