Do '#include "../../room/std.h" first in your file. You now have access to 4 simlar macros, that will define a simple room for you. They are ONE_EXIT, TWO_EXIT, THREE_EXIT and FOUR_EXIT. ONE_EXIT is used this way: ONE_EXIT("/players/peter/room", "west", "Funny room", "You are in the funny room", 1) Arguments: 1 Where you come, using the exit command "west" in this example. 2 Exit directions from this room. 3 Short description of the room. No newline ! 4 Long description. Must have newlines. 5 Lighted or dark room. 1 = light. See std2 how a room with three exits look like.
