Suggestion for #showskills command
 

Since the Skills button on the Inventory window is apparently broken I made an addition to the #showskills command which gives more meaningful output. If you add the code below, it will print out the names of the skills along with their subscript and value:

In skills.h, add before the #endif:
In command.cpp, add after "#include command.h":
Change the yellow line in the command_showskills method of command.cpp:
void command_showskills(Client *c, const Seperator *sep)
{
Client *t=c;

if(c->GetTarget() && c->GetTarget()->IsClient())
t=c->GetTarget()->CastToClient();

c->Message(0, "Skills for %s", t->GetName());
for (int i=0; i<74; i++)
c->Message(0, "Skill %s [%d] is at [%d]", skills_list[i], i, t->GetSkill(i));
}



If anyone can think of a better place to initialize the extern let me know. Also, does anyone know why the Skills button doesn't work? I'm sure it's already a known issue however I couldn't find anything on the forums about it and I do not see it implemented in the source, although Dye, Face and AA are all easily found.

Someone came up w/ the clever solution of putting static info like that into the eq xml interface files. You'll have to search for the post, since I can't remember who did it or the details of the solution. Probably a better solution, though.
