Hello,
The version I am using is one that comes standard in QuickMUD and other
versions of OLC. I believe
it is 1.81. Here's what save_other_helps looks like:
void save_other_helps(CHAR_DATA *ch)
{
extern HELP_AREA * had_list;
HELP_AREA *ha;
FILE *fp;
for(ha = had_list; ha; ha = ha->next)
if(ha->changed == TRUE)
{
fp = fopen(ha->filename, "w");
if(!fp)
{
perror(ha->filename);
return;
}
save_helps(fp, ha);
if(ch)
printf_to_char(ch, "%s\n\r", ha->filename);
fprintf(fp, "#$\n");
fclose(fp);
}
return;
}
In retrospect, you are absolutely correct about how I assign AREA_CHANGED, it
really shouldn't be
based on that area the person is standing in, but what area the help has been
created in. Should be
something relating to the area of the actual helpfile being edited, not the
area of the room you're
in. Thanks for pointing that out.
