Meanwhile, I did search rulesys.h for any text related to any of the given commands, and honestly, I am stumped. For example, I cannot find "Character" or "MaxLevel" (case sensitive or otherwise) anywhere in the entire project (I mean, Maxlevel shows up from old code commented out, but I cannot see where we select * from rule_value and set the specific Character max level value to MaxLevel, etc).

I think I know what I am looking for, but things may be cleverly disguised as arrays or something, which may be why I am not finding 1:1 text matches. Which of course is what I seek, since I am a simple man.

Thanks for the response. Anything more I might sponge off you?

re-read my post... if you cant find it, your looking at the wrong source. MaxLevel appears at least 4 times in the code.

Oh...
My...
GOD!!!

Ok, there it is, staring me straight in the face when I use NOTEPAD to view the source files. I was using the Search Entire Solution in VS2005 Ent... it did >not< find anything in ruletypes.h (by that, I mean searching did not show any matches in this file, but I did find matches in other cpp files).

I must have something set up wrong in VS2005 then, that does not actually search everything when I ask it to. Sorry for sounding foolish. I will use other search methods before accusing you of encrypting your variables just to fool us.

Thanks FNW.

I'm currently at work (so can't tear apart the DBase) - but is the above info still valid? Is it something already included with the most recent binary releases (1070)?

Sorry for the back to back posts.. foot in mouth and chew (should have thought before I posted).. but what I meant to ask is - is the above info still valid (using PEQ's cvs dumps)?
