Dynamic Space 2.8

This code lets you set up rectilinear grids of rooms that only exist when needed. This is useful for doing sky areas, oceans, terrain, or even the surfaces of entire planets!

Category: Dynamic Space
Compatibility: TinyBit, TinyMUSH, TinyMUX.

Instructions

Copy and paste the below code into a compatible MUSH or MUX.

@@ Features:
@@ ~~~~~~~~~
@@
@@ - Up to three dimensions of movement. Locks can be applied to any

@@
@@ - Space can be limited to a fixed size, made to wrap around, or extended
@@ infinitely in each dimension.
@@
@@ - Individual exits within a room can be blocked or hidden.
@@
@@ - Exits are transparent to those who pass them.
@@
@@ - The desc, succ, name, parent, and transient-status of a room can be
@@ altered using simple commands within the DS.
@@
@@ - Permission to alter the DS can be granted via as something as simple
@@ as a flag or lock, or any function you wish.
@@
@@ - Administrators can teleport to any valid location within the DS
@@ volume.
@@
@@ - The size of the room queue (used to avoid actual creation/destruction
@@ of rooms) can be adjusted to suit the traffic expected.
@@
@@ - An optional map module which allows you to "sketch" areas in ASCII
@@ and have them realized in the DS.
@@
@@ - Using the map, rooms can be eliminated entirely leaving "walls"
@@ behind in the space.
