Okay, I'm not saying that patching is a good way to IMP a mud but for some people it's all they can do. I mean I seen plenty of msgs fr4om newbie coders asking for someone to point them in the right direction for what they wanted to do and then people flame them for not knowing the code like the back of their hands. Sorry folks but there is a lot to circle and not all of us are super C gurus who can look at code and instantly know what it means. It's come to the point where I don't even want to ask for help because people don't seem to want to help people create something unique for their mud. For ex. Nick B. asked for help on how what files he might need to look into to make an object(ship) that is enterable, has rooms, and can be used to attack other mobs, chars. How many of you have offered any assistance(looking into the crowd for hands and seeing NONE!) My point exactly. I mean I'd love to spend hours looking at circle code until I know it inside and out but realistically I have to work, I need money, I need to eat, I need to pay bills, etc. and working 9-12 hour shifts and trying to get some sleep leaves me with little time so to actually look and learn what everything does. I guess what I'm trying to say is that if people would be more helpful(as in pointing out a starting place) then maybe there wouldn't be so many patch muds out there. Hell, the only reason I've stuck to it is because I'm an anal SOB and I don't give a f*ck if you help or not because I know I'll eventually figure it out like I have everything else. Well I guess that's enough spasing from me. l8r Zeke +-----------------------------------------------------------+ | Ensure that you have read the CircleMUD Mailing List FAQ: | | http://cspo.queensu.ca/~fletcher/Circle/list_faq.html | +-----------------------------------------------------------+
