The file room_depth.zip contains several editted bpl14 files.
I don't know how to make a 'patch' in win95 so I just zipped
the files.

The room_depth.zip file is a quick hack to the code that add 
depths to rooms.  It is not done in its entirety but there is 
enough there toget a decent coder going.  

Essentially what room depth means is that characters and objects
will appear like this in the room:

A wooden chest is here. [at 10']
Tanis the Half-Elf is here. [at 20']

Players and mobs will have to 'advance' or 'retreat' inside the
room to move around.  Weapons like swords will now only be
affective in melee range ( < 10').  Other weapons like bows
and arrows will now be much easier to code...simply add a range
for them and the altered code will work everything else out.

Like I said, this is hack and is therefore not the cleanest
code in the world, but its nice enough.  There is plenty more
work to do to make this concept solid in the game but its
not too much work to not even try to add what I've got.

So give it a whirl and add a whole new dimension to your MUD.
