You guys have probably already worked > that stuff out off-list. Just being nosy I guess... Hmm...yeah, I have printed the entire OasisOLC and GenOLC files. Looks interesting. As of right now, I removed a few erraneous checks, added a Delete option for rooms (In the redit menu), and added the listing commands. (rlist, olist, zlist, mlist, tlist). I did this last night until about 6 AM this morning (whew, got to tired, gotta sleep ya know :P) Anywho, I will add an option somewhere to allow the impl to turn on or off the deleting of objects from pfiles. This would NOT corrupt the playerfile, if it is done right. All we would have to do, is load each player in the playerfile, then save to a temporary file. Close the current playerfile, copy the new file to the old, then open the new playerfile globally. Anyone see anything wrong with this? Now, with room deletion...if you take a look at the code, it will only load the player to the room IF the room exists....also, deletion of rooms/zones are not allowed if they are needed by the mud (zones 0, 12, 30) (rooms in zone 0, room 1204 and 3001). What are some current bugs in OLC that needs fixing up? Also, any more comments on what else should be added/removed from the OLC package? So far, everything is looking good for the CVS of CircleMUD and the patch goes in smoothly. :) Hmm.....global buffers are going to be removed...if there is a problem with that, let me know...
