Help with Item Assembly Snippet

So I grabbed the Item Assembly snippet from AKDMud.com, [its by Zarius, if that matters].

I did everything the instructions tell me, except for the very last part, which it really doesn't.

It says:
Then its just the entries in TABLES.C and Make clean and compile.

What exactly am I to put in tables.c?

Put the two entries for the do_ command, and the one in mud.h. If you're unsure, you can follow examples in that file (such as do_look).

Where exactly should I put them though? I can't seem to find do_look in tables.c...using the search tool on CPad [which is what I've been using to change code].

I just need a little bit of hand-holding for this...

Are you using FUSS? If so, I don't think you need to deal with tables.c, just mud.h.

Yeah, I'm using FUSS. I did everything except for anything in Tables.C, yet when I try to use the command "connect" it gives me the usual "Huh?"...

Must I Cedit it?

Yeah, you need to use cedit in the MUD.

Uugghh, man...I love how none of this was in the instructions for it.

I was told to put some code in act_obj.c, but it didn't specify, so I put it all at the very bottom, would that effect it? [if you want to see what it was, I'll gladly post it]

Also...could you tell me what all to do with cedit? I never done anything like this before and have no clue what to do with cedit.

I really appreciate this help Zeno.

There should be a helpfile on cedit. You just need to create a new command called connect.

If what you added to act_obj.c was a new function, then yes that's fine.

Wow, apparently all I had to do was make the command. I thought I would have to link it or something, I don't know.

Thanks much Zeno!

hey just in case you didn't already, make sure to set the level on your new command down so your players can use it too. when you create a new command it defaults the commands level to your immortal characters level.

Alright now I'm in trouble again...

In the instructions, it tells me:

In MUD.H find:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
ITEM_MATCH, ITEM_TRAP, ITEM_MAP, ITEM_PORTAL, ITEM_PAPER,
ITEM_TINDER, ITEM_LOCKPICK, ITEM_SPIKE, ITEM_DISEASE, ITEM_OIL, ITEM_FUEL,
ITEM_EMPTY1, ITEM_EMPTY2, ITEM_MISSILE_WEAPON, ITEM_PROJECTILE, ITEM_QUIVER,

Change to:
ITEM_MATCH, ITEM_TRAP, ITEM_MAP, ITEM_PORTAL, ITEM_PAPER,
ITEM_TINDER, ITEM_LOCKPICK, ITEM_SPIKE, ITEM_DISEASE, ITEM_OIL, ITEM_FUEL,
ITEM_PIECE, ITEM_EMPTY2, ITEM_MISSILE_WEAPON, ITEM_PROJECTILE, ITEM_QUIVER,
^^^^^^^^^^ - modify ITEM_EMPTY1 to ITEM_PIECE



Which I have, I changed ITEM_EMPTY1 to ITEM_PIECE
Next it tells me:

in DB.C find:
------------------------
case ITEM_DRINK_CON:
case ITEM_KEY:
case ITEM_KEYRING:

under that add:

case ITEM_PIECE:

Which I have also done. I did a make clean and then make, everyone compiled beautifully. Then I started up the MUD, everything started up clean. I logged on, "ocreate 1201 bottom half sword", then "oset 1201 type piece" and I it tells me that its not a valid item type. So I tried all sorts of combinations of piece; piece, PIECE, item_piece, ITEM_PIECE, etc, and none of them work. What am I missing now?

Is that all it said to do? There is more. You need to add the new string in that itemtype array, although I can't remember where it is offhand (build.c perhaps).

Yeah, build.c had it, awesome. Seriously Zeno, you rule much. Very much appreciated the help.
