That's good to know, but our mud is about 10 yrs old, and on it's 5th major
revision already. It has had OLC since around v1 or v2, and has had many
custom mods done to it, so just plugging in OLC 2.0 wouldn't work too well.
Thanks for the FYI though, and I'll keep that in mind if I ever decide to
build one from scratch. :)

As an FYI, OLC 2.0 provides command-types such as these, as well as
auto-qsort when adding/removing commands.

I am aware of that. I went ahead and added an additional section to my
table in the process. A "type" section. This way I can categorize all the
commands for various reasons, that being one of them.
Directions (n,s,w,e,u,d) all got a category of CMD_COMMON, while normal
commands got a category of CMD_GENERAL. Imm commands got CMD_IMM, builder
Imm commands got CMD_BLD and RP Imm commands got CMD_RP. While CMD_IMM,
CMD_BLD, and CMD_RP aren't being used for sorting, it does allow me to
sort them for my WizPower list and who has rights to use them. As for the
CMD_COMMON. Well, any command that is in that category get's put at the
beginning of the sort list, reguardless of their alphabetical category.
Did I miss anything?

One thing that may be a problem is that if you do strict alphabetic
substitution, you'll run in to things like if the player types 's' to
go south, it will map to 'say' instead.
I think.
I'm too lazy to look it up right now, though.

Richard,
That was my impression as well, but I just wanted to check with all of
you
guru's out there. I'll wait and see if everyone else confirms your
thought,
but I'm pretty sure I'm safe on this one.

I may be wrong here, but I believe the const portion of it just makes it
protected during runtime so that the structure itself can't be
altered... so yeah, if you wanted to qsort it, you'd have to take that
portion of it out... not quite sure of any disadvantages of it
personally, as nothing should modify that structure in-game anyway,
unless you explicitly code it to do that... But like I said at the
beginning, I may be wrong here :D

I have a question, should be a quick answer for you guys. What, if any,
would be the disadvantage of changing my cmd_table from:
const struct cmd_type cmd_table [] =
to be just:
struct cmd_type cmd_table [] =
I need to take the "const" out of it so I can use qsort to sort the
command
table in memory. I just need to know from you guys what kind of headache
I
might be creating for myself.
Thanks!
