Updating race information

To give valid information on racial base stats updates you would need to do this cycle for 100% accuracy:

Select a race
Select required alignment and/or gender for the race, if any
Select fighter as the guild
Take mortal levels only up to 30
Take note of output from the stats command
Go to the cleric guild and do: list skills all
Look at max % on the consider skill, this is the racial skill max %
Look at the exp cost for weapon skill 1h bludgeon, the racial skill cost is: (value * 100 / 300)
list spells all
The racial spell max % is the same as max % on dispel curse and the exp cost is again calculated according to step 8 above.
Reinc out and select the same race again
Select bard as the guild.
Take mortal levels only up to 30
Take note of output from the stats command
Congratulations, the lowest values on each stat compared with output from step 5 is the racial base stats

Updating guild/sub information

To add a new guild/subguild, add it to the "guilds.chr" file. Include the official name and maximum level of the guild/subguild.

Guild/subguild data files have the following format:

Level information ("info")
Skill/spell information ("info full")
(Optional) Subguild information

You can acquire this information by typing "info" and "info full" at the guild. To check the official name of the guild/sub, you can do "la plaque" and take note of the name. To add guild dependencies (e.g. subguils to a guild) use the following format:

Subguilds:
Masters_of_Defence 10
Cantadorian_Guard 7
Brawlers 5
The_Royal_Warders 6
Blademasters 5
Myrmidons 5

Updating spell/skill information

Add the name and initial cost of the spell/skill to spells.chr/skills.chr/skills using the following format:

attack:1300

You can check the initial cost at a guild/sub by doing "list skills all"/"list spells all" and calculating the basic cost by taking into account your racial spell/skill cost.

Then add the spell/skill description to help_spell.chr/help_skill.chr, you can get this information by doing "help skill attack", "help spell magic missile".
