| i dont really fully grasp the whole bit thing.. but..
i was curious as to whether or not oset can be changed to use xSET_BIT when adding affects to items.
oset item affect affected <flag>
well after the 32nd flag it wraps around and ive got something like 46 flags :( so i cant add anything past..
aqua_breath and thats a stock flag :\

| | Check this, this will explain it: http://www.auricmud.com/snippets/bitvectors.html. So yeah, you can have more than 32, up to a whatever you choose to make it. |

| SET_BIT is designed for a single int (32 bits) whereas xSET_BIT is designed for an extended bitvector which is a structure of 4 ints, see here:
/*
* 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];
};
Trying to use xSET_BIT for a normal int or SET_BIT on an extended vector will just give heaps of errors, and not work.
You would need to change the thing you want to use more bits on, to extended_bitvector, then change all the places which set, or get, those bits, plus change the way it is read/written to the area files. |
