It's in the room file for zone 13. And there's ANOTHER room 1220 in >14.wld, which doesn't get used. OasisOLC is completely broken if you try to do anything with overlaps. If you haven't fixed OasisOLC, don't do overlaps. >Outline: >1. Rooms, objects, mobiles, and shops should be saved in the files for its >most specific zone number. >2.

You have the idea, though I'm not doing it. I retired. :) And I didn't retire because of all the other changes needed to get overlapping done. It was because I didn't have the time for any sort of work on it. I barely had enough time to get the "no zone=100" assumptions in. I'm sure other people with more time than myself will be able to work on it sometime in the future. -- George Greer greerga@circlemud.org -- +---------------------------------------------------------------+ | FAQ: http://qsilver.queensu.ca/~fletchra/Circle/list-faq.html | | Archives: http://post.queensu.ca/listserv/wwwarch/circle.html | +---------------------------------------------------------------+
