Im not exactly how to say this, so hoepfully you can figure out what im saying. How about this, I know its probably gonna screw alot of people up when mod 10 comes out as far as there edits go. Rooms that will be used by mod 10 that we are now using for our edits ect ect. (items/spells/textblocks ect ect). This idea would also be helpful if that old project of ppl on this board for putting out there own mods for other boards ever gets started. Anyways, In my realm, I have over 10k rooms that I have add'd. If any of those rooms get used by say mod 10+, its really a pain in the ass to use a database editor or something and go down and change all of the room #'s. Say have nightmare keep track of the edits somehow, And have like "room # changes" or so. Say add maybe an extra # in front of all of your edited rooms, ect, and also add them to the existing rooms (townsquare if you made a new exit) so that you will not have to manually change them. Say if I use room #10000......have a button you could add a # to the start of it, and make it say #110000.



Example:



ROOM #'s

10000

10001

10002

10003

10004

10005



Have an option to autochange them to like



110000

110001

110002

110003

110004

110005



ect ect.



Also have it work on existing rooms (#'s below are not right, but used for example)



TOWN SQUARE:



North: 2050

South: 2051

West: 2052

East: 2053

Down: 2054

*Up: 10000

*Northwest: 10001



Have it keep track of what has been edited in the realm, so it wont change legit ones, and when you hit the button, have it change it to like this:



TOWN SQUARE:



North: 2050

South: 2051

West: 2052

East: 2053

Down: 2054

*Up: 110000

*Northwest: 110001





Same with items ect ect. Sorry if this is confusing, im at work and not supose to be on here. If you want anything cleared up let me know and ill have more time when I get home. I just thought this might be a good idea for future mods ect ect. Thanks!

i have a feature in nmr that is probably 60% complete that will allow you to change record numbers. for example ... if you wanted to change room numbers you would specify a range of room numbers that you want to change and a corresponding range of room numbers you want to change them to. it will search through all the rooms and textblocks and change all the references. it actually does this to an export file so you would export everything you want to change to an export file, change it, and then import it in. i did it this way so that if someone had an area you wanted to use you could change the record numbers before importing.

Ahhh ok cool. Sorry I didnt know, I havent used the last few versions of nightmare because I have been out of the editing scene. Getting back into it as soon as it is able to use 1.11o. Thanks for the info!
