Subject Arena{x~
Text
the arena rates are _Almost_ fixed - The payoff seems to be reversed, but{x
that should be easy enough to fix (wanna test it one more time and make{x
sure that's the problem before I 'fix' something that isn't broken{x
Thank Scilon for most of the code - he was a big help.{x
Also he helped me test.{x
I found several other bugs with the arena that should be fixed before{x
you advertise - we can talk about them tomorrow if you want - I might{x
already have them fixed by then.{x
The new binary is Alt_2 in the bin directory, and I'm still using hot2{x
for my working source dir...I'll probably make my own directory soon so{x
that I know for sure I'm working with the code I'm working on.{x

Ratios are fixed correctly now.{x
Payoffs and losses come out correctly.{x
Also, I fixed several major bugs - Like you were getting pdeaths for{x
losing arenas, and leaving a pk token and your corpse behind.{x
So when you finished you were a shade and had to find a way to get back{x
to your corpse.{x
The new binary is Alt_2 and the source is in hot2 still.{x
I also put back in all the arena checks except the one for IS_IMMORTAL{x
I think I probably need to put one in to check and see if you're a shade{x
or not, too.{x

Subject ICQ and Snippets{x~
Text
if you would be willing to install ICQ99b installing new code would become{x
a lot simpler. with that installed i would be able to just ICQ you an{x
entire function in one message and you could look at it to decide how you{x
like and and send back any ideas you have before we actually try to test{x
or implement the changes. One snippet i would really like installed is{x
the help editor for olc. It takes a bit of work to install since there{x
are lines of code that go in several different files but once working it{x
makes things a LOT easier. I also have a snippet that anytime a player{x
tries to get help on a subject and it doesnt exist it will copy the line{x
they typed and append it to a file that immortals could look at and then{x
be able to write the needed helps.{x
{x
Important. If you install help edit it requires that all helps are moved{x
into one single file named help.are i think. Currently the game has helps{x
located in 3 diff files if its same as RoT1.4{x

Artimus.. sorry i dont quiet understand the problems you are having with OLC by just {x
looking through your code. What i can do though is the mud im coding for on planetmud{x
i have full reign on. I have installed trap code for being able to place traps on{x
movement into and out of rooms. On picking up or placing objects.. or on opening or{x
closing containers. I have had to upgrade a ROM snippet for the traps but its flawless{x
after my upgrades to rot format. I also went through and wrote up the required OLC{x
functions for being able to create and save pre-set traps instead of an immortal just{x
using a command for it. I am writing up some skill uses and altering it further so{x
that the skill for setting traps will be usable by theives and such. I also am trying{x
to write up some bow/arrow code and if i get that working i will also email you a copy.{x
