Re: How do Diku .are files work?

They aren't stock areas. The area I used above doesn't give it much credit; I just used it because it's the smallest .are file. They are awesome and I want them . The MUD isn't around anymore. I'm hoping to make a stab at it on a newer codebase (I want to program in Python, not C).

The codebase I want to move them to is Evennia. The good news is that people have converted area files for different codebases and moved them to it. It doesn't look like anyone has done it to Diku yet though.

I don't actually have the codebase that I'm trying to convert the rooms from running, so " I'd just rip out everything except the saving code and use that to load the files into the structs that diku uses and read those" might be a little difficult, but it could be easier than parsing what's currently there.
