Well! Yeah you can't load the gsn pointers from a file.
The only thing I can think of is set up a second table that has the
gsns, like...
{"backstab", &gsn_backstab},
{"haggle", &gsn_haggle},
etc...
{NULL, NULL}
Then after you load the skill/spell data on bootup, go through that
table and fill in the gsns.
for (i = 0; gsn_table[i].name != NULL; i++)
{
int skill;
if ((skill = skill_lookup(gsn_table[i].name)) != -1)
skill_table[skill].gsn = gsn_table[i].gsn;
}
or something like that.
