I wanted to jump in here on the topic of "Complete" codebases and get some peoples opinions on such beasties. How many people would love to be able to download a fully modded Circlemud with all the bells and whistles ?, don't most of us want to have all those nice fancy toys on our mud for our users to enjoy and play with ? or am I completely wrong here and everyone likes having few features and having to wonder how to add all those cool things u see on other muds to your stock mudbase? Myself I look at the circlemud base as a stable system, but its really plain, I often wish it came with a ton of built in features so newbie coders wouldn't have to bang their heads against the wall as often as they do trying to add simple things to the code that should probably be standard now, since every mud out there has them patched in already. Like OLC.& Dgscripts, pretty much every circlemud i've ever been on had both, it just makes life easier. How many people would like to see some of the old snippets patched up to work for your 3.1 code ? how many times have newbie coders felt helpless when they went searching on the ftp site for documentation on how to add races, spells, skills and all that fun stuff and found only outdated or extremely vague information. I hope this generates some serious feedback and not flames. I would love to hear some opinions from ppl about what they like don't like, how many would love a complete mud, and why others hate them. And If their is enough interest I'll release a mud bundle with a decent amount of mods included, again depending on how much feedback, and what people tell me they would like included in the bundle. I think my favs, would be ansi pfiles, easycolor, clan code, auction code, dgscripts, oasis olc, extended race code, extended class code ...anyone got something else they wanna add ? - chris -- +---------------------------------------------------------------+ | 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/ | +---------------------------------------------------------------+
