- Improve material code:

  1) Make material file more readable.  Mostly, make it one entry per

     line (no comma seperated lists), with values 0 by default, so only

     values that are different need to be entered.  Maybe make materials

     archtypes, and then use treasurelist type setup below?

  2) Remove random material selection from the material file and put it

     elsewhere - basically, more fined grained material control (silver da=

ggers,

     but not silver axes for example).  Perhaps the idea of material

     type treasurelists?

  3) Remove material bitmask.  Instead, have a pointer to the actual mater=

ialtype

     struct, and determine basis on that (eg, this could burn up, etc).  I=

f

     necessary, add some appropiates field to the material struct that

     denote those abilities.

  4) Suffix to be used for alternative image names and animation sequence

     for objects (eg, dagger.111.gold for example)

  5) Some way to denote that even though 'materialname' is set, that the l=

oader

     should still do appropriate adjustements for the material.  Thus, if =

a

     person sets the material in the editor, the server will adjust the va=

lues

     appropriately.

  6) Allow for multiple materials in same object.  Trickier to do this.

  7) More hints for materials.  Eg, is it a notable material that should b=

e

     included in the object name, or mundane?  Likewise, is it a type of m=

aterial

     that can be reconstituted (metals) or not (wood, stone, etc)
