[CF-Devel] More Bronze Items and treasurelist + Updated classes

Sat Oct 9 22:15:13 CDT 2004

Well I could use a bunch of NPCs with stories if you
could send me a blank map with ready NPCs and I could
c/p them into the map(s). Also perhapse travel up the
tower to read the wizard story and maby hint at such
things in the NPCs (but they don't know if it's true
or not)?

For the dir tree... that's going to be a chore due to
the ton of bridging rand maps I use. Im not sure if I
want it in standard distro or to just improve my
package (perhapse put in a little perl install
script?). The web of maps is very very tangled... I'm
afraid to break things and find out a year later about
it... so I'll have to think about this.

If It's kept as an addon package perhapse there could
be a mention on the CF server dl page? (each release I
do mention it in the cf chan topic).

Tomorrow (unless something comes up) I shall start
moving things to navar on my server, test it, etc.
Navar is a good choice, I'm glad we agree :) .
