How to give items at start?

[garand_soldier]

How do i give items i want my character to start of with?
like say a cutlass n a `double-barrel` pistol? :blah::

 

[Diomed]

This is how to do it:

As always open up "character_init.c" and find text
"// MainCharacter start parameters"

under your ships hold items place the following text:
"GiveItem2Character(ch, "xxxxxzz");" xxxxx=the type of item you want to have and zz= the item number.

EXAMPLE:

GiveItem2Character(ch, "blade13"); to start with a Needle

Here are a few handy items:
blade1 - 23
spyglass1 - 4
pistol1 - 6

To start out with a cutlass you have to find the blade number. You can find that out by going into items init.c and look at the list of blades.

thanx. Does it work with NK's build 10.1, though? I've read sumthin about the NK.c file or sumthin?
:blah:

 

[Diomed]

Yup, it should work with any build, though why don't we consult NK on it, he should pop up here any minute. :blah:

In earllier builds there two strart mods. Jason Mega Start which was loaded with points and lots of money and a more modest moderate start. I tried to use them when 10.1 came out and they wouldn't work. Nk was working a fix so I don't know if he ever got it in the build.
