Of course, carrying this theory to completion we find that all programs can be reduced to one line of code that doesn't work. Anyway, about features to put in an OLC, an ACT_PROTOTYPE flag for objects and mobs, ie. when a builder starts to build a new zone, if the area is flagged as prototype, then players can't enter it, also, none of the objects can be picked up by players, nor do the mobs wander, (plus they can't be attacked/and/or killed, though purging works.) This gives Imps a chance to review an area and guard against a builder giving another character an easter egg item from his zone to one of his morts or something. A high level god command "installs" thae area and removes those silly flags. This also works very well in conjunction with the auto-reset command mentioned. +-----------------------------------------------------------+ | 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 | +-----------------------------------------------------------+
