This will work for *most* zones in circle based muds. Although most zones
are 100 rooms large, it is only a custom, as the code actually allows a
zone to be any size it needs to be. One of the imp's on my mud even has a
maze zone that is around 1027 rooms.
The absolute best way would be to get the players zone number, then check
the zone table for the top vnum of that zone. Ex:
int i, first = 0, last = 0;
first = GET_OLC_ZONE(ch) * 100;
for (i = 0; i <= top_of_zone_table; i++) {
if (zone_table[i].number == GET_OLC_ZONE(ch)) {
last = zone_table[i].top;
break;
}
}
Well good luck with your code. :)

PS: I've created some code that some people may find useful. It is an
improved version of the rlist, mlist, and olist commands. This version has
all of those as subcommands of on ACMD(), and it also has the capabilities
to list out DG triggers and AutoQuest quests. It also uses the above
method.
I would have posted it to the list, but the list has a limit of 200 lines
for
e-mails :( If you'd like a copy just e-mail me and I'll send it to you. :)
