[crossfire] Re: New movement code. (Wraith stuff) (Please don't implement)

[Todd Mitchell]

If there were an etheral movement type added it would not be implemented 
in existing maps by default (they still have "block all") just like the 
other movement changes.  In archived movement related threads this 
'ghostwalk' type movement was proposed.  I would also put forth an 
addition to the suggestions, the idea that etheral travelers would not 
be able to pass 'iron' either so it would only work against wood walls 
and stone and the like.  This gives us an out as well to explain why 
some walls aren't passable - they have iron in them (like in the nails 
of a door or in the ore of the stone/dirt).

     How many maps would need modified to block that movement type for one
