That's the language the game is written in, I do believe.

Actually no, the game is written in good old C. Java editor is (shock!) in Java, and there are some Perl scripts, but server and client are C.

*Buzzer sound* Wrong. Crossfire is written in C, not C++

(personally I find C++ to be a ugly hack on top of C, but that's just an IMHO thing and I don't want to be starting any flame wars)

but flame wars are fun!

and C++ /is/ an ugly hack, I much prefer C (or indeed fortran)

/me sits in the other corner not knowing how to use Python plugin and also being busy programming Pytris

Otherwise I'd do something.

why not you ?
all you have to do is write new code to take care of classes (as for now classes are not in chars struct and only gives starting adjustement, not long term advantages - this was discussed in another post - ) or, maybe easier, a new 'berserk' skill and _many_ exceptions all around the server code (like dont_die, boost_hp,... didn't you forget drawbacks ?).

im not writing this cause i screwed up, and volenteered to fix the alchemy code. so i have to learn C, then dissasemble the whole damn crossfire code. cause what i want to do is one hell of an overhaul, and it affects the whole game. so someone else can add the class. </bitchy rant>

most of the alchemy code is fairly well concentrated in alchemy.c

if you need to make far reaching changes outside of that, you probably could do with looking at the way you have designed the changes you want to make
