Is the maximum stat levels stored ina file somewhere on the server? playername.pl seems to not to store it.

Are you talking about Stats?
If so, I believe that should be in the server code.
If you are talking maximum level, that is stored in the exp table file.
There are many things that should be put in a conf file for crossfire server.

Yes, but actually doing that is an utter nightmare, there is some extreme funkyness with the settings struct, adding a property to it is non-trivial.

I was trying to add a variable luck penalty on death, so that Mike can easily turn it off (negative?) on cat2.

if anyone knows what 'initializer element is not computable at load time' means, please tell me.

/me runs back to Fortran90 and nice data type handling...

Perhaps it is high time to add a crossfire.conf file? Parse ability would be strict, but it would have an advantage at tweaking options like luck and death that hurts.

It is already there, the file is called settings.

True, but nobody really did group as many game-dependent options into that file. Sure, there is the no permdeath option, but what about the no_luck_decrease for pk's, etc,.

That is what I have been trying to add.

When I figure out why the compiler whines at me about it (/me curses pointers) then I will release it as a patch.

Update, I succeeded in getting it to work, turns out I was being even more stupid than usual...

Anyway, patch is on the sourceforge tracker for anyone who wants to play with it.

Does it do anything else except the luck thing?

Nope, kept it as small as possible.

It also keeps the luck overflow bug in place, so I limited the values it can take (proper thing to do is alter the change_luck(op, int) function.)
