Just uploaded a patch and a readme to the incoming directory,
called 'xapobjs'.
It just makes rent files ascii-isized, and includes a convertor
so you don't loose your old rent files. It also has a online switch to
toggle between ascii and binary file saves, incase you don't have
confidence :)
Incidentally, it also includes everything you need to create
unique objeccts - i don't care what yah call it, restringing, whatever -
just set the ITEM_UNIQUE_FLAG and it saves everything. So you can allow
people to make their 'shiny newbie dagger' into 'a really dangerous frozen
bannana' with +5/+5 hit/dam. What ever you like.
It's still in the experimental state, so, what i'm looking for is
volunteers to try it out. I've done very little testing with rent - my
mud doesn't use it, and aside from that, to make it more useful, I'll
upload the version that includes autoeq in just a bit too. (My original
had autoeq in it, but it was stripped out to patch against stock
3.0bpl14).
