Colbey,
We've already created a mount system like that, you can stable your
horse, and you'll receive a stable ticket from the stable boy, next time
you want your horse, present your ticket and the horse will be brought
to you. You can also tether it and other things like that, If you have
new ideas to add to it I'd love to hear them and we can work on them.

Thanks for the idea. I am currently working on a mount system that will
allow players to buy, own, train, and advance their mount(s). To make
it
possible to expand on their abilities I am going to(I guess) an extreme.
I want to create an entire mountfile to save them in. Each mount would
be
different...kinda like pfiles. Thanks for the Room_travel idea. That
sounds like it would work great.
The way I plan on doing this, there will be no need to change
pfiles.(well, that is my goal) All the mount info will be saved in the
mfiles(mount files). The only thing that would change for players would
be in char_specials... by adding the char_data *riding, ridden_by flags.
But that data isn't saved. If anyone is interested in me
posting/sending
you the stuff(spec_procs, mounts, mount code) when I am finished drop me
an email. Most likely won't be done for a while because I go back to
school very soon.
If anyone wants to help directly with this, I would be more than
willing/interested in working with someone on this.
Thanks all,
Colbey
