Re: warfare

First, thanks Michael for getting back to the topic at hand. Now, on to 
other help. :)

// Compiler errors:
//

gcc -Wall -O -ggdb -DNOCRYPT -DQMFIXES -c -o obj/war.o war.c
war.c: In function `auto_war':
war.c:229: warning: assignment from incompatible pointer type
-- Michael was right on this, mob_index_data is usually used in creating a 
mob, or OLC, not in setting CHAR_DATA. You'll need to make a function that 
will find a mob that is currently loaded in the world according to their 
vnum and return the CHAR_DATA back to "warmaster".

war.c:191: warning: `ch' might be used uninitialized in this function
-- at line 247 you are sending "ch" to war_channel, but "ch" is never set 
anywhere in the function.

war.c: In function `do_war':
war.c:468: parse error before `abort_race_war'
-- you're likely missing a close } somewhere in the do_war function. You'll 
need to check your paired braces to find exactly where.

After you fix the parse error above, repost additional errors, since a parse 
error like that can create many more that don't actually exist.

Your code differs from the linked version in many regards.  e.g.:

> war.c:229: warning: assignment from incompatible pointer type

  original:  warmaster = get_char_vnum(MOB_VNUM_WARMASTER);
  yours:  warmaster = get_mob_index(MOB_VNUM_WARMASTER);

get_mob_index returns a MOB_INDEX_DATA*, which rightly can't be
assigned to a CHAR_DATA*.  Obviously this person had a non-stock
function "get_char_vnum" in their code that you'll need to implement
make it work.

Some of the other errors are caused by your lack of a bool type.  I'd
suggest typedefing bool to an int or some such.  Or just change all
those bools to ints.

You have CHAR_DATA *ch in functions where there are none in the
original.  Then your code tries to use them without assigning anything
to them.
