Since CircleMUD permits more than 99 rooms per zone, I can't see why exactly the OLC "should" cause crash. That sounds more like a short-coming of the OLC package you use than anything else. The MUD never "should" crash -- it will only crash when something is wrong, and since we'd rather nothing be wrong with the MUD, the MUD never should crash. :) > > I've confirmed that the olc zone number is right on the users (stated > them all), and it's right. > > When this first popped up, I was told that it wouldn't apply to non-imps > cause they always had an olc zone set to be able to edit (which they > do). > > God I hope this mess makes sense.

Does the OLC create a new zone_data and reorder the table to insert the zone? Are the room's 'zone' member set to the the zone they're in? Point is, the OLC needs to create a new zone_table and insert the new zone. I think that would be the problem. See, if it's just writing out the file but not updating the current zone_table, the new zone_table won't be present until the MUD is rebooted. Try recreateing the zone_table with one more field and finding where to insert your new zone. Perhaps look at RECREATE for doing this, eh? Assuming the OLC package you use doesn't do this, already, of course. -- Daniel Koepke dkoepke@california.com Forgive me father, for I am sin. +-----------------------------------------------------------+ | Ensure that you have read the CircleMUD Mailing List FAQ: | | http://cspo.queensu.ca/~fletcher/Circle/list_faq.html | +-----------------------------------------------------------+
