Can anyone start me off on the right path to installing new damage types for use with skills and what not? I'v tried looking at how things currently are and tried adding it based off of what I saw and it didnt work right since then I'v uninstalled my changes, and heh turned here hoping someone could point me in the right direction.

-Thanks

First find this in const.c :

char * const attack_table [18] =
{
"hit",
"slice", "stab", "slash", "whip", "claw",
"blast", "pound", "crush", "grep", "bite",
"pierce", "suction", "bolt", "arrow", "dart",
"stone", "pea"

and change it thusly ( I used "shotgun" ):

char * const attack_table [19] =
{
"hit",
"slice", "stab", "slash", "whip", "claw",
"blast", "pound", "crush", "grep", "bite",
"pierce", "suction", "bolt", "arrow", "dart",
"stone", "pea", "shotgun"

Then, a little further down, there's this:

char ** const s_message_table[18] =
{
s_generic_messages, /* hit */
s_blade_messages, /* slice */
s_blade_messages, /* stab */
s_blade_messages, /* slash */
s_blunt_messages, /* whip */
s_blade_messages, /* claw */
s_generic_messages, /* blast */
s_blunt_messages, /* pound */
s_blunt_messages, /* crush */
s_generic_messages, /* grep */
s_blade_messages, /* bite */
s_blade_messages, /* pierce */
s_blunt_messages, /* suction */
s_generic_messages, /* bolt */
s_generic_messages, /* arrow */
s_generic_messages, /* dart */
s_generic_messages, /* stone */
s_generic_messages /* pea */
};

char ** const p_message_table[18] =
{
p_generic_messages, /* hit */
p_blade_messages, /* slice */
p_blade_messages, /* stab */
p_blade_messages, /* slash */
p_blunt_messages, /* whip */
p_blade_messages, /* claw */
p_generic_messages, /* blast */
p_blunt_messages, /* pound */
p_blunt_messages, /* crush */
p_generic_messages, /* grep */
p_blade_messages, /* bite */
p_blade_messages, /* pierce */
p_blunt_messages, /* suction */
p_generic_messages, /* bolt */
p_generic_messages, /* arrow */
p_generic_messages, /* dart */
p_generic_messages, /* stone */
p_generic_messages /* pea */
};

Alter it, checking your commas:

char ** const s_message_table[19] =
{
s_generic_messages, /* hit */
s_blade_messages, /* slice */
s_blade_messages, /* stab */
s_blade_messages, /* slash */
s_blunt_messages, /* whip */
s_blade_messages, /* claw */
s_generic_messages, /* blast */
s_blunt_messages, /* pound */
s_blunt_messages, /* crush */
s_generic_messages, /* grep */
s_blade_messages, /* bite */
s_blade_messages, /* pierce */
s_blunt_messages, /* suction */
s_generic_messages, /* bolt */
s_generic_messages, /* arrow */
s_generic_messages, /* dart */
s_generic_messages, /* stone */
s_generic_messages, /* pea */
s_generic_messages /* shotgun */
};

char ** const p_message_table[19] =
{
p_generic_messages, /* hit */
p_blade_messages, /* slice */
p_blade_messages, /* stab */
p_blade_messages, /* slash */
p_blunt_messages, /* whip */
p_blade_messages, /* claw */
p_generic_messages, /* blast */
p_blunt_messages, /* pound */
p_blunt_messages, /* crush */
p_generic_messages, /* grep */
p_blade_messages, /* bite */
p_blade_messages, /* pierce */
p_blunt_messages, /* suction */
p_generic_messages, /* bolt */
p_generic_messages, /* arrow */
p_generic_messages, /* dart */
p_generic_messages, /* stone */
p_generic_messages, /* pea */
p_generic_messages /* shotgun */
};

Then in mud.h change this:

typedef enum
{
DAM_HIT, DAM_SLICE, DAM_STAB, DAM_SLASH, DAM_WHIP, DAM_CLAW,
DAM_BLAST, DAM_POUND, DAM_CRUSH, DAM_GREP, DAM_BITE, DAM_PIERCE,
DAM_SUCTION, DAM_BOLT, DAM_ARROW, DAM_DART, DAM_STONE, DAM_PEA
} damage_types;

To this:

typedef enum
{
DAM_HIT, DAM_SLICE, DAM_STAB, DAM_SLASH, DAM_WHIP, DAM_CLAW,
DAM_BLAST, DAM_POUND, DAM_CRUSH, DAM_GREP, DAM_BITE, DAM_PIERCE,
DAM_SUCTION, DAM_BOLT, DAM_ARROW, DAM_DART, DAM_STONE, DAM_PEA, DAM_SHOTGUN
} damage_types;

Then further down in mud.h change the 18 to 19 here:

extern char * const attack_table [18];

Find this in fight.c:

default: *gsn_ptr = -1; break;
case DAM_HIT:
case DAM_SUCTION:
case DAM_BITE:
case DAM_BLAST: *gsn_ptr = gsn_pugilism; break;
case DAM_SLASH:
case DAM_SLICE: *gsn_ptr = gsn_long_blades; break;
case DAM_PIERCE:
case DAM_STAB: *gsn_ptr = gsn_short_blades; break;
case DAM_WHIP: *gsn_ptr = gsn_flexible_arms; break;
case DAM_CLAW: *gsn_ptr = gsn_talonous_arms; break;
case DAM_POUND:
case DAM_CRUSH: *gsn_ptr = gsn_bludgeons; break;
case DAM_BOLT:
case DAM_ARROW:
case DAM_DART:
case DAM_STONE:
case DAM_PEA: *gsn_ptr = gsn_missile_weapons; break;

...and add case DAM_SHOTGUN: above the case you wish to emulate, i.e. above case DAM_PEA: to make it a missile weapon. Make clean and recompile. Hope that does it for you. That's all I remember from when I did it, though if anyone notices I noobed anything up, chime in :) Cheers...
