| 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 Thanks! Got them.. will work through them as soon as I can. I'll have to look over the MERC file format a bit more and see about changing my file converter to deal with it (or is there already such a beast available?) before I can use any of these areas. As a side note, I'll be *extremely* disappointed if very few of these .are's have the mob-actions in them - when I read about that "mob programming language" the other day I nearly had to change my shorts! ;) I'd kill to be able to work with such a thing (hint, hint, Jeremy ;) as it could add so much depth to the game... if others actually overlooked what could be done with it I'll have to keep my low opinion of humans *grin* | 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. Thanks to Jeremy for cleaning this up alot and providing a new site. | 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! Edgar is only a cheesy mob in my version.. I hate keeping the same maze set up in "common" areas... I've got a nice 'node' system for devising tricky mazes with only one "real" way through, so Edgar is just so much cutsie MOB. | 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. I've used it before, but I don't think I ever "explained" it like that - nice excuse to cover for it though :) | -Rasta Danny +---------------------------------------> | Danhiel Baker // Derkhil CatSpawn /) /) Fade away | dbaker@harpo.dev.uga.edu ( o o ) into the | dbaker@jb.ucns.uga.edu = x = ethereal grey... | Danny.Baker@bbs.oit.unc.edu m m +--------------------------------> ***(=======-
