This function won't check anything in the pfiles, it will only check how many
of the items are currently in the MUD after a reboot (i.e. on the ground, and
on mobs), because the obj->pIndexData->count is decremented each time the
object is extracted (i.e. when a player quits), and if you put the
load_artifacts function in bootup, it won't read anything from players because
no players will be registered as logged into the MUD during bootup, even on a
copyover the MUD does a full boot and a reset (which would load all artifact
items since there would be 0 in the MUD at that point) before it reconnects the
players, so you would always have these items loading once at startup and
copyovers...

Create a load artifacts function and call it during load.
To make sure its not in someones possession (pfile) during the initial
load do this:
Example:
void load_artifacts( void )
{
CHAR_DATA *ch;
OBJ_DATA *obj;
ROOM_INDEX_DATA *location, *room;
obj = create_object( get_obj_index( 1207 ), 0 );
if ((obj->pIndexData->count -1 ) >= obj->pIndexData->limit)
{
extract_obj(obj);
}
else
{
room = rand_room();
obj_to_room(obj,room);
}
}
Now with this code you shouldn't have it on a standard reset, and if you
want it to
Load on a mob you can do :
pMob = create_mobile( get_mob_index( 25122 ) ); //Loads mob vnum
25122
room = rand_room(); //Randomly pick a
room
char_to_room( pMob, room ); //Place the mob in
the room
obj = create_object( get_obj_index( 8102 ), 0 ); //Create the
object to put on the mob
obj_to_char( obj, pMob ); //Put the object
on the mob inventory
This will ensure that the object will only load IF no-one has it in
their inventory.
I use it to load the individual pieces of the "Rod of Seven Parts"
This will load the object and if it already exists (in pfiles) it will
extract it. Otherwise it places it where you want (in this example a
random room)
Place the function call somewhere after loading the limited objects.
(Somewhere in boot_db)
Im not sure about Tartarus code but the function load_limited_objects is
in the Anatolia code.
Hope this helps.

Subject: question about limiting items
I want to add limit item code to my rom 2.4. I look Tartarus code base
but
it is not that what i need. There was somet item limit code but it's not
work properly. For example, if i set "the One Ring" limit 1. Then "the
One
Ring" loads only one time per game. And if some player have the One Ring
and
mud reboots then it dosen't load. Even the player is offline. It load
again
when player lost this ring (is he sacrifice it etc.).
Anyone have idea ? And i apologize for my bad Englis :)
