I've seen RT used a couple times and was just wondering what it stood for. A recent example:

/* RT added back for the hell of it */
void do_read( CHAR_DATA *ch, const char *argument )
{
do_function( ch, &do_look, argument );
}

I've been drinking but I can't think of anything that makes sense.

I've assumed RT was Russ Taylor's initials.

Hmm, that might be it. Any better ideas?

prompt> grep RT *.c

magic.c:1617:/* RT added to cure plague */
magic.c:1783:/* RT replacement demonfire ability */
magic.c:2887:/* RT clerical berserking ability */
magic.c:2942:/* RT ROM-style gate */
magic.c:3039:/* RT haste ability */
magic.c:3257:/* RT really nasty high-level attack ability */


Using 'grep' is a great way to find out more about a specific pattern.
It's obvious to me that 'RT' stands for Russ Taylor.

EDIT: Hades Kane has been running his FF Rom for a long time, I would take his advice when he gives it :wink:

I wasn't doubting Hades_Kane. I replied saying that it was probably it, but I didn't want to take the first idea that sounded appropriate. Where would we be as a civilization if we all accepted the first idea that sounded good?

I think that it was the choice of the word "better" (rather than, say, "other") that made it sound like you were doubting him.

You're right. I re-read it and it is easily read with that meaning. I chose the word better thinking that there could be better ideas. I would normally say it's safe to assume I am never going to simply 'nay say' people here but it'd be more effective to try and avoid ambiguous wording.

I am here to learn and hopefully contribute to the community.

All i meant was that you are new here and you are into
ROM. And Hades is trustworthy.
