Here's a brief lesson in logic... You're wanting to change a message you
see when someone sacrifices something.
A simple grep of the word sacrifice in the source files shows:

act_obj.c line 2170 void do_sacrifice

A simple opening of act_obj.c in any text/code editor, and entering void
do_sacrifice, and boom, there the function is.

Scanning it briefly one easily can see:


    if ( !IS_NPC( ch ) && ch->pcdata->deity &&
ch->pcdata->deity->name[0] != '\0' )
    {
	strcpy( name, ch->pcdata->deity->name );
    }
    else if ( !IS_NPC( ch ) && IS_GUILDED(ch) &&
sysdata.guild_overseer[0] != '\0' ) 
    {
	strcpy( name, sysdata.guild_overseer );
    }
    else if ( !IS_NPC( ch ) && ch->pcdata->clan &&
ch->pcdata->clan->deity[0] != '\0' )
    {
	strcpy( name, ch->pcdata->clan->deity );
    }
    else
    {
	strcpy( name, "Thoric" );
    }

| however, i think i wasn't clear about the deity.

| sorry for not being clear. :>
