| | Anyway I figured out through trial and error that my aassign/savearea isnt saving rooms/zones. Yet foldarea is. So half my olc problem is solved. Next question for you guys. Is there anyway to save the mobs/objects, besides doing what I am now? Any help would be appreciated. I checked the boards but couldn't find anything referring to this. Anyway thanks again. | | Top |

| According to the online help, you should aassign area-name, make your changes then:
aassign none
foldarea (name)
What is wrong with doing that? It seemed to work OK for me. |

| Ok here's what i did:
test.are is the area file.
I assigned the vnum ranges 25000-25050 for rooms, obj, mobs.
aassign test.are
mcreate 25000 Doug from R&D
aassign none
foldarea test.are
reboot mud now
Startup mud
minvoke doug
Log: Abel: minvoke doug
No such mobile exists.
Sorry to be such a newb. I am a ANSI/PL SQL programmer by trade, not a c programmer. Also I have played muds for years but this is the first time running/creating one. Anyway any help you can give is once again very much appreciated.
Thanks,
Todd | | Top |

| | In your area folder is a file called area.lst. The area file name needs to be inside that. Is it? |

| OK, I see the problem. I got your example to work with a few extras. :)
Type "help massign" and you see this:
help massign
RASSIGN MASSIGN OASSIGN
Syntax: rassign
oassign
massign
> Steps for creating a new area from scratch;
> 1. checkvnum rooms low_vnum hi_vnum
> checkvnum objects low_vnum hi_vnum
> checkvnum mobs low_vnum hi_vnum
> (make sure the vnums don't overlap another area)
> 2. rassign (person) low_vnum hi_vnum
> massign (person) low_vnum hi_vnum
> oassign (person) low_vnum hi_vnum
> 3. mset (person) aloaded yes
> 4. goto low_vnum
> goto hi_vnum
> 5. savea
> 6. save

NEVER do this to someone who has an area assigned to them. This would
change the range for the area they have assigned and wipe out the area.
The problem with your example as given is that it doesn't know your mob is in your area.
If you type "zones" you see this:
zones
test.are | Rooms: 0 - 0 Objs: 0 - 0 Mobs: 0 - 0
So, when you save the area, it only saves mobs in the vnum range 0 to 0. Thus your mob isn't saved.
You need the commands:
rassign self 25000 25050
massign self 25000 25050
oassign self 25000 25050
Then when you type "zones" you should see:
zones
test.are | Rooms: 25000 - 25050 Objs: 25000 - 25050 Mobs: 25000 - 25050
Then, folding the area saves the mobs, etc.
