[SMAUG] Decimals?

[Angelus433@aol.com]

I apoligize in advance for any stupidity this question puts out :)

I'm debating modifying the system for advancing skill adept percentages by incrementing them in amounts less than 1, eg. learn_from_failure would increase the adept by .50, learn_from_success would increase it by either 1, 1.25, 1.50, 1.75, 2 ect. Is there any particular type for the adept field I'd need to change, or would "int" suffice? Also, would the saving routines have a problem writing these numbers in this decimal format?
Any help would be greatly appreciated :)

In those delectable moments, the whole world is ours; not a single creature resists us, we devastate the world, we repopulate it with new objects which, in turn, we immolate. The means to every crime is ours, and we employ them all, and we multiply the horror a hundredfold."
