Let you in on something, Alander got fed up with ROM2 and made the damn thing publically domain via ftp cie-2.uoregon.edu BOOM every area they have is now public access! Might be worth taking a look. Only problem is, Alander tarred up the entire player directory with everything else so you need a bunch of time and drivespace to unpack it all, once you do that though, just rm -rf the players directory since you wont need it hogging up disk space. > | The High Tower - the two zone one. remove the pizza and modern stuff and > | balanace it out a bit and it could be a good area. > > Yikes...a debuggers nightmare!!

I'll look for my version... We put ours trough the back of the green dragon's cave. A couple notes about it... First of all, Edgar is more than just a cheesy mob, he's also a landmark!!! Seriously, think about it, a sentinel mob in the middle of a maze.... Just go north until there is an exit south, go south until you get to Edgar then go west, south, north and BOOM, done with the maze! Second of all, I know of one bugged door which actually becomes quite nasty! Door to the Master Charmer only loads closed on the inside of the room. When the player arrives, the door is open from the hallway, so they just wander on in, but the door is shut from the inside, so they cannot flee from the Charmer unless they understand the problem. I've used this to simulate doors shutting behind players, it's easy enough to avoid, if you understand how it works, but it'll usually catch players the first time. -Rasta
