I'm currently underway in creating generic OLC routines for CircleMUD which
are simple to use and not geared toward any one system.
I'm creating functions as such:
add_room(struct room_data *)
remove_room(int num, byte type) /* 3000, VIRTUAL and 3, REAL for example */
add_obj(struct obj_data *)
remove_obj(int num, byte type)
save_zone()
save_mobs() /* Interfaces undecided at the moment. */
save_rooms()
save_shops()
etc.
The functions are based quite a bit on the current OasisOLC routines as
that is what I have been working with.
If anyone has any feedback or suggestions (particularly Sammy so that this
works well with his OLC system too, or maybe he already has some, I haven't
looked in a while...) then please mail me.
Improvements over the Oasis routines:
No more creating a whole new database and freeing it! (Less fragmentation)
Doesn't have to copy the whole database! (Faster)
I've mailed my preliminary changes off for bpl13 and maybe in the future we
can have something like this included so people do not have to create their
own routines. This will also minimize breakage if CircleMUD's world format
changes... :)
