1: I know it was talked about a little on the race specific starting areas, but how would i make it so CLASS (X, Y, Z) starts in town (A) and CLASS (H, I, J) starts in town (B), so on and so forth? Or is it even possible.



2: Where can i get a good organization tool for all my ideas and such, note/word pad doesn't really provide a template for anything. example:

Name Lvl Stre AC... yada yada, that kinda template.

blah 293 23 23



something with lines and organization to transfer all my ideas on paper to my computer easily.



That's pretty much it, any help would be appreciated

You can't have anything-specific starting spots..lol..

And, your char is a little crazy...level 293 with 23 str? Laugh..just playin ;)

I don't use anything to organize my shit :(

I was reading the How I did it forums this morning at work, and there was a big convo on how to get races to start in diff towns and shit, but i guess that was ruled as a couldn't do.. and those stats were a just random :)

Guess i'll just have to make a portal from newhell to the places that i want ppl to go right away, is that possible? like have it check for class, and if you're a certain one it teleports you to some place?

well i think could be possible...



edit the newhaven start room to have no exits and make a room spell for it

the room spell would execute a textblock

the textblock would execute a teleport command based on whatever race or class and teleport them to whatever start room you choose.



could call the room the "summoning room" or something. only thing that would really break it is sys gotos. i just thought of those things off the top of my head, let me know if there are any flaws in my theory.

I was also thinking of just having a portal that when you walk west from newhell beginning it would auto port you, a sign would be there to let ppl know what is gonna happen based on the type of class they are, along with other documentation at the beginning cuz i know that about 5% of ppl actually look at signs in mud, but anyway



i'm just putting all my ideas on paper, got about 2000 rooms written down and about 300 spells/items/misc shit, with ideas for lots more classes (specialized mage classes like notorious/baldurs gate and shit) but until i get my cpu straitened out and my ideas down off of paper, then its all ideas.



I was have 4 maps of different towns like silvermere that all lead to their own forests, and all the forests meet up at one place that then leads to silveremere, so by the time you get to silveremere you're like lvl 15 or so ready to head to markus and then meet ppl of different classes (no sys goto's of course, gonna steel edge's idea (or the person he stole the idea from) of a vortex for fast movement around the realm). I dunno, maybe it's all just hopeful dreaming and something to keep me occupied.

That'd actually work quite well..

I havent been able to find one yet, but I'm sure if you could find someone who is good with microsoft access could make an awesome one. and if you can't find any access genie's then you could easily make a generic one with excel.
