True, which is why you need the load_limited_objects from the Anatolia
code to make it work.
The load_limited_objects counts and checks the pfiles during a load and
copyover.
void load_limited_objects()
{
struct dirent *dp;
int i;
OBJ_INDEX_DATA *pObjIndex;
DIR *dirp;
FILE *pfile;
char letter;
char *word;
char buf[100];
bool fReadLevel;
char buf2[160];
char buf3[160];
total_levels = 0;
if ( (dirp = opendir(PLAYER_DIR)) == NULL)
{
bug("Load_limited_objects: unable to open player directory.",0);
exit(1);
}
for (dp = readdir(dirp); dp != NULL; dp = readdir(dirp) )
{
if (strlen(dp->d_name) >= 3)
{
sprintf(buf3,"%s/",dp->d_name);
dump_to_scr( buf3 );
sprintf(buf, "%s/",PLAYER_DIR);
strcat(buf, dp->d_name);
fReadLevel = FALSE;
if ( (pfile = fopen(buf, "r")) == NULL)
bug("Load_limited_objects: Can't open player file.",0);
else
{
for (letter = fread_letter(pfile);letter != EOF;
letter = fread_letter(pfile) )
{
if (letter == 'L')
{
if (!fReadLevel)
{
word = fread_word(pfile);
if (!str_cmp(word, "evl"))
{
i = fread_number(pfile);
fReadLevel = TRUE;
total_levels += UMAX(0,i - 5);
sprintf(buf2, "[%s]'s file +: %d\n\r", buf,
UMAX(0, i-5));
numplayer++;
dump_to_scr( buf2 );
continue;
}
}
}
else if (letter == '#')
{
word = fread_word(pfile);
if (!str_cmp(word, "O") || !str_cmp(word,
"OBJECT"))
{
fread_word(pfile);
pObjIndex =
get_obj_index(fread_number(pfile));
pObjIndex->count++;
if(pObjIndex->limit != -1)
{
sprintf(buf,"Limited Item %s (%d) found, count
now
%d\n\r",(remove_color(pObjIndex->short_descr)),pObjIndex->vnum,pObjIndex
->count);
dump_to_scr( buf );
}
}
}
}
fclose(pfile);
}
}
}
closedir(dirp);
}
I know it all works because I use it currently to do exactly what the
poster asked for.
Cheers,
Keith

Subject: RE: question about limiting items
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...

Subject: RE: question about limiting items
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 :)
