Unfortunately, that didn't work because ROM doesn't define punches as
TYPE_HIT. So what I did is:
/*
* Figure out the type of damage message.
*/
wield = get_eq_char (ch, WEAR_WIELD);
if (dt == TYPE_UNDEFINED)
{
dt = TYPE_HIT;
if (wield != NULL && wield->item_type == ITEM_WEAPON)
dt += wield->value[3];
else
/* dt += ch->dam_type; This is the line that used to be here, I
replaced it with the following*/
switch(ch->race)
{
default: dt += ch->dam_type; break; /*normal*/
case 4: dt += 8; break; /*Giant*/
case 5: dt += 10; break; /* Canine */
case 6: dt += 5; break; /* Feline */
/* Rest ch->dam_type by default */
}
}
Works great.
Thanks for your help; without it, I never would have thought of the above.
