Just an idea here, but if your builders have nothing to do.... Get them to write up 4 room descriptions for each room, then modify db.c to read in all the descriptions, and then, according to the current season, load the correct one. ie, ~ This looks like a nice town square. The sun shines brightly overhead, and the water in the town fountain sparkles with the sunlight. ~ Leaves cover most of the town square when you have a look around. The elms, oaks and beeches around the area are bearing their leaves, and subsequently the leaves have clutted around your feet. ~ The winter snow is evident here. There is snow under your feet, snow on top of the fountain....the water is even frozen! No point drinking out of there then. ~ The suns shines at its zenith on this wonderful spring day. Birds squeel, as do the village children. ~ These are extremely bad descriptions, so don't use them in your MUD :) You can also use this for night and day descriptions, which is what we will be using in our MUD. Hope this gives ya a bit of an idea... | Andrew Ritchie, object@alphalink.com.au. | "Success is a child of one hundred fathers, | yet defeat is but an orphan." +------------------------------------------------------------+ | Ensure that you have read the CircleMUD Mailing List FAQ: | | http://democracy.queensu.ca/~fletcher/Circle/list-faq.html | +------------------------------------------------------------+
