Oh I see, a temporary thing... well that's kind of a tricky one, cuz it's either gonna involve the use of some precompiler definitions to write a new field to your area files and save you a ton of trouble, or you'll have to just create a new structure... the less-sloppy way would be to use the precompiler definitions, but I don't want to go into all that detail, so I'll tell ya how it can be done, and getting the area files taken care of can be your problem :) but bear in mind that you'll have to do something about them, because right now they're set to only read 2 integer values for an affect, location and modifier, you'll also need to add a little chunk into save.c to make pfiles read in w/ the new affect_data field... in summary (minus the area and save tinkering) you'll probably want to do something like this:
Add a char *name (or whatever) field to the affect_data structure... Declare an APPLY_SKILL value in merc.h In handler.c, in void affect_modify, add a line line this: case APPLY_SKILL: !IS_NPC(ch) && ch->pcdata->learned[(sn = skill_lookup(paf->name))] ? ch->pcdata->learned[sn] += mod; break; that way it'll only add the affect if they actually have the skill, and they're a player (NPC's have no pcdata)... then just create a command to add the apply to an object, or modify any current commands for that (i.e. Mike Barton's do_add command he just posted, or do_enchant on my own mud, etc) to take a char * argument as well as an integer value...
