You're going to have to be a little more specific about what is and what is not happening. If you've only created new classes, jump down to step 2. If you've renamed or deleted any old classes, keep reading.

1. In comchat.cs search for the classes that you've renamed/removed and delete the class names from the lines they're in. Replace EVERY one that you deleted with one of your new classes, being careful to use lowercase on the first line and capital-first letter on the second. There's a pattern that should be pretty easy to see there. Next, if you run out of classes, delete the extra lines of code. Else, continue to step 2.

2. Following the same pattern as the rest of the classes in the comchat.cs file, add your extra classes (remember to be case-sensitive). If you've defined groups and multipliers for all your new classes, they should register.

Assuming you extracted classes.cs and modified it, you would add the line
exec("classes");
to your autoexec file if you run a non-dedicated server. If you use the rpgserv.exe to start your server, just drop your file into the config or RPG folder.

If you just made a new file with all your new stuff, add the same line as above (but with your filename in place of "classes") into the autoexec folder.

Also, make sure your file is a *.cs file and not a *.txt file.

It sounds like you don't have the multipliers set for the class. It would either do what you described or just give 0 in every slot. Post what you did to make/modify the class (the actual lines from your files) and I'll see if I can pick out what's wrong.

paltinumgus ahs no idea what is going on.
comchat has nothing to do with it.

bounty you forgot to specify its group. i dont remember the exact syntax but i know you will have to specify a group, see, your class is there now but it willonly show up in its groups choice menu, of which there is none!

Actually, you do want to change comchat if you want bots bought in Ethren to match the classes you have available for players. It is not required, but relieves some confusion for players.

And Zel is right about the group, but I don't remember the exact syntax either. I would check it for you, but I'm not on my server pc, so I don't have the files. Use winvol to extract classes.cs and just look at the groups for the existing classes. You'll want the ninja in the rogue group.
The groups for the classes are all blocked together above the classnames.

Also, don't forget to make names for each remort of your new class. Scroll down classes.cs and you'll see how. Make each new class number consecutively higher.

Ex: Cleric is 1(class number), 0(remort step)
cleric remort step 1 is 1, 1
Druid is 2, 0
etc.

You'll want Ninja to be 9, 0 and so on...you'll see that all the other classes go as high as 100 on the remort steps

Yes, you can create and edit *.cs files in Word..you have to with the bigger ones.

You shouldn't have to add exec("classes"); or skills either. Just put them into your config folder. If you made the ninja class in a new file, you would add that file to autoexec though.

Is there a way to make a New Group? Would it involve alot of coding(Not my strong point)? And any sugesstions for a new Class in the Mages Group?

To put new classes using autoexec: Suppose the file you made your new classes in was called newclasses.cs in autoexec, add the line
exec("newclasses");
exactly as shown.
Just don't use any existing filenames. (Look at all of them in winvol and be sure not to copy any of thir names)

And yes, it requires minimal hard coding to add new groups. I took Ranger out of the Warrior group and Druid out of the Priest group and put them both into a Woodsman group. I'll check my PC with my files and post it later on. I believe it's in comchat.cs, but not 100% sure. Just open it up and search for Rogue. Follow the pattern there and add whatever group(s) you want.

Delete both the newclasses and newskills lines. You should replace the "newclasses" with whatever your filename is.
Try this..if you put the ninja inside the classes.cs file with everything else, then you're good. If you made a new file, rename it ninjaclass.cs and add the line exec("ninjaclass"); to your autoexec file.

--side note..end all lines with a semicolon ( ; )
and use 0's in multipliers
Ex: 0.8 and 1.0 not .8 and 1

I think I've got everything here. After all this, your new class and group should work.
It turns out the group stuff wasn't in comchat, but in rpgstats.


Extract rpgstats.cs into "C:\Dynamix\Tribes\config" and find this section:

function MenuGroup(%clientId)
{
dbecho($dbechoMode, "MenuGroup(" @ %clientId @ ")");

Client::buildMenu(%clientId, "Pick a group:", "pickgroup", true);
Client::addMenuItem(%clientId
, "1Priest", 1);
Client::addMenuItem(%clientId
, "2Rogue", 2);
Client::addMenuItem(%clientId
, "3Warrior", 3);
Client::addMenuItem(%clientId
, "4Wizard", 4);


return;
}
function processMenupickgroup(%clientId
, %opt)
{
dbecho($dbechoMode, "processMenupickgroup(" @ %clientId @ ", " @ %opt @ ")");

if(%opt == 1)
storeData(%clientId, "GROUP", "Priest");
else if(%opt == 2)
storeData(%clientId, "GROUP", "Rogue");
else if(%opt == 3)
storeData(%clientId, "GROUP", "Warrior");
else if(%opt == 4)
storeData(%clientId, "GROUP", "Wizard");

%clientId.choosingGroup = "";
%clientId.choosingClass = True;

MenuClass(%clientId);
}



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

Insert the line:
Client::addMenuItem(%clientId,
"5NewGroupName", 5);
with your new group name. You may want to alphabetize them by editing the numbers. The number before the Groupname is the key you press to get that option. The numbers after should be in numerical order.

Insert the lines:
else if(%opt == 5)
storeData(%clientId, "GROUP", "NewGroupName");

make the (%opt == 5) to whatever number your new group has.
Save the file and leave it in the config folder.
After that, you've got your new group. To put Ninja into that group, open your Ninja class file and make sure it has all these components:

$ClassGroup[Ninja] = "NewGroupName";
$initcoins[NewGroupName] = "2d6x10";
(The $initcoins line may not be neccessary, but better safe than sorry)

$ClassName[9, 0] = "Ninja";
$ClassName[9, 1] = "Whatever";
$ClassName[9, 2] = "Whatever";
$ClassName[9, 3] = "Whatever";
$ClassName[9, 4] = "WhateverIV";
$ClassName[9, 5] = "WhateverV";
$ClassName[9, 6] = "WhateverVI";
$ClassName[9, 7] = "WhateverVII";
etc.
You get the idea...Use whatever names you want, but the other classes start using roman numerals at the 4th or 5th remort.
All classes end with
$Classname[9, 100] = "God";

and your multipliers...

$SkillMultiplier[Ninja, $SkillSlashing] = 0.2;
$SkillMultiplier[Ninja, $SkillPiercing] = 2.0;
$SkillMultiplier[Ninja, $SkillBludgeoning] = 0.2;
$SkillMultiplier[Ninja, $SkillDodging] = 2.0;
$SkillMultiplier[Ninja, $SkillWeightCapacity] = 0.9;
$SkillMultiplier[Ninja, $SkillBashing] = 0.2;
$SkillMultiplier[Ninja, $SkillStealing] = 2.0;
$SkillMultiplier[Ninja, $SkillHiding] = 2.0;
$SkillMultiplier[Ninja, $SkillBackstabbing] = 1.2;
$SkillMultiplier[Ninja, $SkillOffensiveCasting] = 0.1;
$SkillMultiplier[Ninja, $SkillDefensiveCasting] = 1.0;
$SkillMultiplier[Ninja, $SkillNeutralCasting] = 1.8;
$SkillMultiplier[Ninja, $SkillSpellResistance] = 1.0;
$SkillMultiplier[Ninja, $SkillHealing] = 1.5;
$SkillMultiplier[Ninja, $SkillArchery] = 1.8;
$SkillMultiplier[Ninja, $SkillEndurance] = 0.9;
$SkillMultiplier[Ninja, $SkillMining] = 1.0;
$SkillMultiplier[Ninja, $SkillSpeech] = 0.5;
$SkillMultiplier[Ninja, $SkillSenseHeading] = 1.0;
$SkillMultiplier[Ninja, $SkillEnergy] = 1.0;
$SkillMultiplier[Ninja, $SkillHaggling] = 0.5;
$EXPmultiplier[Ninja] = 2.0;

With these stats, the ninja class is grossly overpowered, but it's your server.

Since you're asking about SP, I'm guessing you run a non-dedicated server. The easiest way to set it is too run rpgserv.exe in your RPG folder, click advanced, and set all the options you want there, but cbut a check in the make it dedicated box. Launch the server just this once with the launch server button. After ther server has set up, close it. Open the rpgserv.cs file in your config folder and copy the entire file. Open autoexec.cs and paste all of it into the file. When you start the server as normal, all your settings you made earlier should apply.
