The problem I see is that the current code calls calc_skill_exp() which probably returns a quite different value than the exp loss of the victim. Thus it may be possible to find a hard to train skill (which gives very few exp from calc_skill_exp()) which now gives lots of exp due to a huge exp loss of the victim. That said, the exploit would be to train a throw-away character with easily trainable skills, then kill it with the "real" character and with a hard to train skill. The result is that the "real" character gains lots of exp in the otherwise hard to train skill. _______________________________________________ crossfire mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.metalforge.org/mailman/listinfo/crossfire
