I could probably do a tutorial taking care of common changes to ROM, but then, I wouldn't really know what all to include. Anyone have suggestions?

No, actually I don't know why they stopped coming to me with coding questions, but I have actually learned enough to know some of the answers now, back when they all would come to me, I could only guess at the answers for them. *shrug*

They used to come to me until I started getting to be able to actually answer their questions, it must be your turn by now.

Start recruiting code teachers then! I'm kind of limited in what I can teach you. *shrug*
I tried but then he has turned off IMs… :(

Because of the nature of the snippets I've released (I jokingly refer to them as a "Final Fantasy MUD in a box"), I get questions from a lot of complete newbies who really need to screw around with their code a bit more before they start trying to run a MUD. At first I tried to be helpful but they had no desire to actually do anything themselves, they were hoping I'd give them the exact code to do what they wanted.

Changing ROM to what?

I think that's about how I started, begging snippets that I could plug 'n play so I could guess at what made them tick. *chuckle*

Not changing to, common changes to. Such as new classes and whatnot. There are a lot of things people regularly do to ROM, and that's about all I could probably cover for a tutorial.

Sounds pretty useful, and certainly more than what's already there.

Yeah, but at least you had the initiative to guess what made them tick! These guys were more or less trying to recruit me to their 'mudz'.

It becomes a pile of fish.

:lol: I encountered a few of those.. I disabused them of those notions by showing them my todo list and offering to help them if they could help me.

Yeah but we got some cool things out of that 'plug n' play'

Erh, I have a way with words when I need to. Most of the ones that came to me with the notion I'd code their entire MUD for them are no longer cluttering the 'net with their inevitably sub-par MUDs.<.<

While I hate to discourage new mud admins, there are some we're all better off without.
:sad: but I can't learn from that one it is already done on Land of Legends… Have to have more, more … Lots more *cackle*
