Have you made any code changes? >Also, when >I try to create a new zone, Oasis often crashes! HEEELP! I never did find the bug in creating new zones on the fly. I yanked the entire concept from the code; It's not that big of a deal to create 20 or 50 stock zones every once in a while. After all you only need one mob or whatever in in each file. (shops get by with just the end sequence) -- A VB app (or shell script for unix) could be created to create the right stuff in each file automatically. The entire zone process in Oasis is more complex than it needs to be. You might consider rewriting the way zones work one day.. In particular the method of having the 'right' number of mobs and objects needs work. BTW . here's a short list of the bugs I've found in Oasis: The zone editor: it will cause loads to revert to zone 0.. really strange one. I still don't think is completely fixed -- It started happening again after lying dormant for a few months.. thought I had that one fixed.. :-) Medit.. there's a bug in there when you quit after creating a new object. Usually happens a mob or two past the one you messed up on .. or at minimum a command or two. There are other bugs.. those are the ones that come to mind. --Mallory +-----------------------------------------------------------+ | Ensure that you have read the CircleMUD Mailing List FAQ: | | http://cspo.queensu.ca/~fletcher/Circle/list_faq.html | | Or send 'info circle' to majordomo@cspo.queensu.ca | +-----------------------------------------------------------+
