When Olle Viksten first announced that he had the  Crossfire board setup,
it did get used quite a bit.  But now, I think the traffic has tapered off
because the mailing lists are getting better responses now.

Okay, well.. do we keep this as the board?

Maybe if some of the checkins could be "dummed" down a bit so I just have
to do a cut & paste.  For instance there was an update to the Masumune
weapon
(
     
     http://lists.sourceforge.net/archives//crossfire-cvs/2000-December/000310.h
     
     
tml)

I think I understand most of what is shown (+2 Con, +1 Wis, Damage 25,
resist drain 100%, resist ghosthit 100%, resist depleton 30%) but the
spoiler page lists the speed of the weapon.  How do I figure that out?
"

Ahhh yes. Well that information is in the arch file =). Have you got CVS of
the arch there?
Simply vim it and scroll down for speed. That value is the speed AFAIK.
Actually you could just grab the archs, then delete all the graphics and
change the archs to txts. Then you could just directly link through netscape
to each one, making simple reading (although archs are generally very long,
most items are quite short in comparison).

As far as any further help, map summaries are always nice, so is proof
reading for accuracy in areas like the FAQ or Crossfire Handbook.

Also, thank you for the Thank You ;)

mmm, well I suppose it would be easier if you did it as it came in.. instead
of doing it all in one go =|. Do we want to start a system of keeping Rick
up-to-date? Rick's work is absolutely excellent, but it must be a nightmare
trying to keep up with us at out current pace =|.
