Run the mud using gdb: from area/ gdb ../src/rom gdb> set arg 1234 gdb> break do_skill gdb> run ... The mud now boots.
Then from another window/session: telnet 0 1234 Log into the mud. Type 'skill' in the gdb window yo will see it break. Type 'next' in the gdb prompt to step through the source code, use 'print' to print variable contents and then you can figure out what the problem is. > -----Original Message----- > From: Chris [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Sunday, December 16, 2001 1:31 PM > To: [email protected] > Subject: Small do_skills & do_spells error > > > Hi, I have a slight problem.
