BH> I posted to this fine list a few days ago wondering if BH> anyone had changed the maximum amount of rooms and rooms per zone BH> limit in circle 2.20. I got a smattering of response, but BH> nothing 'hard'. I ask, neigh, I beg of you if you know what to BH> do, please shoot it my way - I have been busy mapping out my BH> world (Well its Professor Tolkiens really - Middle Earth!), and BH> I need a whole bunch more rooms - I have just finished Mirkwood BH> (north and south) and it comes in at well over 36,000 rooms. BH> Yeah its huge, and the world is going to be pretty damn big, I BH> figure as a rough estimate close to 750,000 rooms by the time I BH> am done. It will probably be closer to a million. I can't even BH> think of the boot time as it is! (Hours =) Of course this will BH> take a long, long time to do, but I don't care, its a project BH> that I work on from time to time.... BH> Anyway, beg, beg, beg. I have fooled with changing BH> things, but etc.... a million rooms, eh? you must be a fast typist =) lesssee, 1,000,000 rooms, times 1:00 to create each room, equals a fairly long time...694.4 days of solid typing (24hours) oh yeah, how much ram does each room take? i hope you have about 1024M on your system, =) if a character dies, does he return all the way to minas tirith (or wherever) or just the last 'inn'-style room he passed through? i wouldn't want to have to trudge through 50,000 rooms to loot my own corpse =) ch.specials-saved.resurrection-room, might be a useful thing to have. what else, oh yeah, don't plan on having your system crash, or you will have no users - i don't know many people who would hang around waiting for hours waiting for rooms to be loaded.. for aninteresting, _very_ loaded circle derivative, try ftp://dale.hsc.unt.edu/some-dir-or-other Shadowdale MUD, very big and multi-classed, races, etc. also, online zone loading, to speed up init time. just my $0.02 Chris Louth
