You can make it functionally infinite by having a 'key' preceding the actual grid, which can map characters to terrain types by map. You could also have a 'continuation' sort of field, where you specify where to load the appropriate map for the different compass directions when the map is left. This can also make your map more human-readable. Assuming you don't use more than some 40 or 50 terrain types in a grid, that is. </PRE> <!--X-Body-of-Message-End--> <!--X-MsgBody-End--> <!--X-Follow-Ups--> <HR> <!--X-Follow-Ups-End--> <!--X-References--> <UL><LI><STRONG>References</STRONG>: <UL> <LI><STRONG><A NAME="00854" HREF="msg00854.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] Rooms, 3D arrays, etc.</A></STRONG> <UL><LI><EM>From:</EM> clawrenc#cup,hp.com</LI></UL></LI> </UL></LI></UL> <!--X-References-End--> <!--X-BotPNI--> <UL> <LI>Prev by Date: <STRONG><A HREF="msg00905.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] Life</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Next by Date: <STRONG><A HREF="msg00907.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] Levels and Goals [was Alright..IF your gonan do</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Prev by thread: <STRONG><A HREF="msg00854.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] Rooms, 3D arrays, etc.</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Next by thread: <STRONG><A HREF="msg00881.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] Rooms, 3D arrays, etc.</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Index(es): <UL> <LI><A HREF="index.html#00906"><STRONG>Date</STRONG></A></LI> <LI><A HREF="thread.html#00906"><STRONG>Thread</STRONG></A></LI> </UL> </LI> </UL> <!--X-BotPNI-End--> <!--X-User-Footer--> <!--X-User-Footer-End--> <ul><li>Thread context: <BLOCKQUOTE><UL> <LI><STRONG>Re: [MUD-Dev] Resets, repops and quests</STRONG>, <EM>(continued)</EM> <ul compact> <LI><strong><A NAME="00967" HREF="msg00967.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] Resets, repops and quests</A></strong>, clawrenc <a href="mailto:clawrenc#cup,hp.com">clawrenc#cup,hp.com</a>, Sat 31 May 1997, 05:56 GMT </LI> </ul> </LI> <LI><strong><A NAME="00830" HREF="msg00830.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] Internal Mud Languages</A></strong>, Chris Gray <a href="mailto:cg#ami-cg,GraySage.Edmonton.AB.CA">cg#ami-cg,GraySage.Edmonton.AB.CA</a>, Tue 27 May 1997, 12:56 GMT <LI><strong><A NAME="00809" HREF="msg00809.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] Rooms, 3D arrays, etc.</A></strong>, Chris Gray <a href="mailto:cg#ami-cg,GraySage.Edmonton.AB.CA">cg#ami-cg,GraySage.Edmonton.AB.CA</a>, Mon 26 May 1997, 21:47 GMT <UL> <LI><strong><A NAME="00854" HREF="msg00854.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] Rooms, 3D arrays, etc.</A></strong>, clawrenc <a href="mailto:clawrenc#cup,hp.com">clawrenc#cup,hp.com</a>, Wed 28 May 1997, 00:56 GMT <UL> <LI><strong><A NAME="00906" HREF="msg00906.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] Rooms, 3D arrays, etc.</A></strong>, Caliban Tiresias Darklock <a href="mailto:caliban#darklock,com">caliban#darklock,com</a>, Thu 29 May 1997, 02:33 GMT </LI> </UL> </LI> </UL> <UL> <li><Possible follow-up(s)><br> <LI><strong><A NAME="00881" HREF="msg00881.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] Rooms, 3D arrays, etc.</A></strong>, Chris Gray <a href="mailto:cg#ami-cg,GraySage.Edmonton.AB.CA">cg#ami-cg,GraySage.Edmonton.AB.CA</a>, Wed 28 May 1997, 12:58 GMT <UL> <LI><strong><A NAME="00975" HREF="msg00975.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] Rooms, 3D arrays, etc.</A></strong>, clawrenc <a href="mailto:clawrenc#cup,hp.com">clawrenc#cup,hp.com</a>, Thu 01 Jan 1970, 10:07 GMT </LI> <LI><strong><A NAME="00890" HREF="msg00890.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] Rooms, 3D arrays, etc.</A></strong>, Miroslav Silovic <a href="mailto:silovic#srce,hr">silovic#srce,hr</a>, Wed 28 May 1997, 17:59 GMT </LI> </UL> </LI> </UL> </LI> <LI><strong><A NAME="00806" HREF="msg00806.html">Re: [MUD-Dev] Internal Mud Languages</A></strong>, Jeff Kesselman <a href="mailto:jeffk#tenetwork,com">jeffk#tenetwork,com</a>, Mon 26 May 1997, 15:00 GMT </LI> </UL></BLOCKQUOTE> </ul> <hr> <center> [ <a href="../">Other Periods</a> | <a href="../../">Other mailing lists</a> | <a href="/search.php3">Search</a> ] </center> <hr> </body> </html>
