Ok, I'll have to look into it, but I'm not touching it until you release the patch to pl8 (and of course I have to integrate what you've released already, as I suspect it'll be easier to update to pl8 if I start from closer to what you are), whenever that may be. I have enough other stuff to distract me until then anyway. It's technically for an exploration system, btw. I want to make it so players can earn exploration point by "exploring" (or whatever verb I settle on) suitable locations throughout the mud. Among other things a certain number of exploration points will be required to immort. > vnum -> the numbers _we_ use to handle the rooms - 1204, 3001 and so on. > This is stored in the world files. > rnum -> the array index of the room in the world[] array. > This is assigned on bootup. The rnums range from 0 to top_of_world. Excellent. Concise and understandable, thanks a ton! > It's really not that difficult. Trust me. :P [1] Famous last words. :) I'll get into it more as I look at pl8. :) > Google didn't find anything for me to look at, so I can't help you there. Ah. Circlemud ftp site, in specials, it's called crodo_quests.tar.gz and is supposed to patch into BPL17 with DG Scripts . . . what v of DG I don't know. You might be interested in glancing at it just to see what it does and if it actually has any functionality that cannot easily be duplicated. Never a bad thing to take a look at what someone else has done to modify code you work to update, right? :) Thanks for the assistance, I'll revisit these issues at a later point I think, after looking at DG for possibilities. -Mathew -- +---------------------------------------------------------------+ | FAQ: http://qsilver.queensu.ca/~fletchra/Circle/list-faq.html | | Archives: http://post.queensu.ca/listserv/wwwarch/circle.html | | Newbie List: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/circle-newbies/ | +---------------------------------------------------------------+
