Race/CLass Change [Archive] - ForumsHQ

I have implemented some new races, now is their away to allow my users to be able their race/class like it was when they nekojin or do I manually have to change them all. Running Mod8 if that helps for feedback...

I would recommend against allowing people to changerace/changeclass it has a habbit if fuckin your account to no end and forcing a reroll.

I can think of one instance where it helps your character, but that bug was fixed long ago and even if it wasn't I couldn't remember how to do it anyway... the one where ya could change yourself to human thief to train then change yourself back to whatever you were... before the changeclass option or whatever that was... that was a badass bug.

Hehe, set split bug. You set split on, then exit mud abnormally (i.e. majorjail by a sysop) then come back and you're at the select race/class screen. They never technically fixed it, just made it so it couldn't be done with whatever the addon notorious for doing it was. Problem is, that was so many years ago that the addons that do it won't work in Windows versions of WG I'm sure.

And you can't keep the levels of a human thief anymore if you could figure it out.

Take it from me my friend, dont play around with the chainging of a users race or class, it tends to really fuck things up.

man all it is is a DLL..they used to have the change race option on majormud's main menu on a bbs i played on the first time i left morbid..and it worked like a charm. I want it too if anyone has it offhand, but i also know someone who has it just has to find it:)

It helps for more than just training..(would help ESPECIALLY on sinister, since we cant keep exp if we reroll). I'm hunting it down, however.

ya changerace works... but it tends to screw up your flags.. best way is reroll...

[dxpac666]

Yeah, the losing all exp when ya reroll thing sucks, but there's nothing I can do about that now. The only patch I know of that allows it to work would put everyone back to level 1 with 50 billion or whatever you needed to level to get level 2. Sucks. I should have put it in when I reset but I completely forgot! Heh. If there's another patch or something that corrects that "bug", someone needs to hook me up!
