Room linking

Post by Shaddow »

I know this is possible. On the board White Dragon, if you go down from HOD you come into teleport rooms and you can teleport anywhere in the realm that they have setup. Unfortunately they're being anal retentive and not sharing the info on how they did this. Anyway, what I thought they might have done is used nmr to link one room to another. What I want to do is make my realm a pvp realm, I dont want people to beable to sys out of combat. BUT walking to SILVERMERE, RHUDAUR, KHAZARAD, LOSTCITY is a pain in the ass. So if I could put a "teleporter" in the bank of each city. IE: go down from Silvermere and you have your choice of RHUDAUR(North), KHAZARAD(East), LOSTCITY(West), and poof you would pop up in the bank of that corresponding city.



Anyone have any insight on how this is done.



I am very new at making a BBS, and stuff my board is really really basic. I probably wont open it to the public for a long time until I really know what I am doing.



But I just want to say thank your to who ever it was the created NMR that is a very kick ass program. :)

This is rather easy, and anyone that doesn't share this knowledge is just being a prick.



Using NMR, navigate to the room you want your teleporting room to be entered from. In the above case, that would be HOD.

Just edit in an exit to any direction, leading to any room/map number. You can either create a new room, or use HOD as the telport room. In either case, you would just edit each exit (except up) to lead to whatever room/map you want.

Thank you very much Mr. Black, I asked the sysops on Whitedragon at least a dozen times, and either got ignored, or told I dont know how it was done. :)

In this poor fellas defense He is not ignoring you. He does not do his own edits and really has very little knowdledge of the whole bbs thing in general. I have helped him a few times install add-ons cause he was unsure of how to even put them onto the menu. Just an FYI case ya were mad at him or felt he was being an ass, he really wasn't dissin ya.

DD I wasn't talking about you. I was talking about Connor. HE's an asshole and ignores anyone who asks for help about any of the edits, or says I dont know how they're done ask DD.



And I'm not Spike, and as for logging back onto your board, whats the point, suggestions from the populas are ignored, questions are ignored or told bullshit,

also you all seem that you dont want to help anyone at all, and when you ask for valid ideas they get ignored all together. I made a suggestion of lowering your xp levels straight across the board as I got tired of veing told I have to reroll at level 500, when I was pulling 500 levels in 3 weeks. You tell us we can't script the bosses, I suggested removing the bosses from the teleports all together, and that got ignored.



Because teleporting to the bosses is convient, the point to this game is too make it a challenge. Your board takes away that challenge all together.



So I play else where, and I have come here for suggestions. So DragonDawn and/or Connor instead of telling people who ask bullshit or ignoring them all together, how about listen to people.

You never know, I just might know some tricks that you haven't thought of.



I do know some stuff too about editing boards, I just haven't run my own BBS in a long long time.
