Yes I see developers come to this conclusion all the time, I think perhaps that some developers are very modest and none braggers, they'd rather release simple plain code, and have other ppl sit and figure out ways to expand and make it exciting. *Nothing wrong with that* your codebase is awesome, thats why I use it, stable and expandable. BUT, this is also your creature, you should show it off, brag a bit and show off some flashy features, people will change what they like and don't like about your code regardless of what you put into it, But for the newbies, they'll think your a god if you put in most of what they really want as standard features. Just my 2 cents on that. > >ansi pfiles > >I don't know why you'd want color in your player files. Perhaps you meant >ASCII? This is planned.

This would be a wonderful feature, can't wait to see it in action. Would it also be possible to perhaps include the ablility to delete area files from within the mud itself. Its a pain to have to shut the mud down, go into shell delete the files, update the index files and then restart the mud, couldn't it all be done from inside ?. Perhaps a social editor, and helpfile editor too, since often a lot of minor modifications happen that would only take a moment to do well still on the mud, without droping into shell. -- +---------------------------------------------------------------+ | 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/ | +---------------------------------------------------------------+
