I'm glad someone is finally taking up the gauntlet on this. You mentioned that you were using OasisOLC for bpl14; As memory serves me, George hadn't include the generic olc routines way back then (am I wrong George?) and a LOT of handy-dandy functions have been added since. After a quick perusal of act.build.c (not part of the current package), you'll notice that Samedi had already coded in "partial" deletion of objects and such. As near as I can tell though, the objects weren't "really" deleted, just removed from the index. The main problem I see with deleting objects and rooms is the search for the existing items. For instance, what would happen if 'Playera' had a 'super sword of justice' in his rent file, and you deleted it? Is it possible to go ahead and remove the sword from his rent file without damaging the rest of it? Or what if 'Playera' had his loadroom set to a room you deleted? I'm sure that if I took a look at objsave.c and interpreter.c I would probably find that these instances are already covered, but I'm feeling a bit lazy right now :-) Oh yeah, will Mythran need permission from Samedi to use the functions from OBuild? You guys have probably already worked that stuff out off-list. Just being nosy I guess... (OFF-TOPIC) Wanna know how stupid I am? I'll tell ya :-) I am connected (through AOL) with basic dialup access. It promises a 56k dialup, but we all know just how sad these connections really are. Nonetheless, I downloaded the Cygwin installer and chose to install the whole package. I shoulda read the documentation first! The whole download is going to endup somewhere around 500 Megs. I started saturday around noon. It's now close to 4:30 sunday morning and the download is 40% complete. Averages out to a 24 hour download. Maybe I shoulda ordered the disk... (/OFF-TOPIC) -FIRE p.s. I am by no means a programmer in the true sense of the word, so if any of the questions I asked earlier come across as [NEWBIE] it's because basically I am :-) __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
