List of global variables available in custom C code

===================================================



You are free to access the variables described here, but be aware that changing

some of them manually could crash your adventure, or cause subtle side-effects.

 

------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Text - these will always be decrypted by the time you get to them - 

except in @FIRST processing. End of list can be identified by an empty element

  (strlen(a[x])==0).



  char *msg[]		Message texts

  

  char *olng[]		Object long descriptions

  

  char *osht[]		Object short descriptions

  

  char *rml[]		Room long descriptions

  

  char *rms[]		Room short descriptions

  

------------------------------------------------------------------------------



  char *strp[]          String texts

  

  i.e. strp[S_MY_STRING] 

			accesses the string called MY_STRING.



  End of list can be determined by (strp[x]==NULL)

  

  DO NOT ACCESS STRINGS IN @FIRST PROCESSING.

  

------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Object definitions. End of list can be identified by 'odet[x][0] == -1'



Note: Most of the time, you will find a CAT logic token to do what you require

      - you should use CAT logic wherever possible in preference to accessing

      the arrays directly.

                          turn
