I still have the black screen even after I had changed my login() code to Nadrews random login() code *sigh*
Does anyone know hwy this problem occurs?

The Login() code you showed me yesterday set the mob's loc, but it was never being called. Either you overide it at some point in your code, or players are not connecting to the mob that you defined that Login() for.

I am not overiding the Login() code, so what would I do in this case Shadowdarke? | |
Where is the Login() proc defined? What mob does it belong to? What is the world.mob set at? What libraries do you include?

There is nothing in Nadrew's level library that would interfere.
Are you certain you have no Login() code? I could swear you showed me a Login() proc yesterday. At any rate, mob New() is the one ultimately responsible for placing your fresh mob. Open you code, hit ctrl-F and type in "New(" without quotes. (There is only one parenthesis in case you have arguments in the New() proc.) In the next box click the dropdown arrow and select "included files". Then click return. Click "find next" as many times as it takes to find the mob New(), there may be more than one. Let me see the mob New() code. | |

I see a several things you can do to make it more efficient, but none of them explain why you are getting a black screen. usr shouldn't be used in this proc at all and the line
world << "[usr] Enters the World" would only have to be in the code once if you did it outside the switch() block. Instead of adding special verbs, it would be best to create a new mob of the appropriate mob type and stick the client in it. You wouldn't even have to assign the icons in Login() either if you did it that way. If this code even gets called, the first line will place your mob on the map. I know level 1 exists because of my tests yesterday. I suspect you have another Login() code somewhere in your program that is overiding this one, whether you realize it or not. Where is the New() code I asked for? *sigh* I could fix it in a few minutes if you sent it to me but that isn't going to help you. You'll have working code but you won't understand it. :( The biggest problem is that you're using code you don't understand. I know you want to jump in and make a game so fantastic that no other game compares, but you won't be able to do that by kludging together code that 50 different people help you with. You have to do the simple things until you understand them, then work your way up to more advanced concepts. I have big plans too, but I spend most of my time piddling with little demos to learn how to do the little things I want to include in my games. All the code on my snippets page are little exercises to practice DM. You get good by practicing, not by making a huge project that's held together by duct tape and used gum. | |
