Hi everyone,
I just wanted to know if there is any work going on on coding.doc
and if there is what are the parts that still need to be done.
If there is need , since i'm going to write a large amount of specprocs now,
and need to study the ins and outs of it all, I could write that chapter of
coding.doc
On a side note, it came to today that it would be useful to have some
way keeping some status variables from a reboot to the other, some way to
change the whole environment of the MUD without the need to recompile.
Consider it a sort of a system.ini file, modifiable (sp?) from inside the
mud.
You could set the pk_allowed, pt_allowed, free_rent, whatever. Using
spec_procs
you could put certain zones in quest mode and when the quest is done return
to normal
status.
Yet another idea: (i'm on a roll now :))
A new command for zone files: J <if-flag> <nlines>
if if-flag is 0 or if it is 1 and the last command was successful, jump
nlines relative to current line.
If you add command 'T <string> <value>' that is successful if the variable
<string> has the <value> you
could do some very clever scripting in the zone reboot commands.
By the way, the J command is very simple to implement and already is in my
MUD. Just keep in mind not to
jump out of the script. And keep the command restricted to The rest i
remembered today.
Comments anyone?
Regards,
Luis Carvalho
