The World<room 00> The world file describes the room and links it to other rooms. It is what shapes what the players see of the world itself. Customarily at Elite, zones are parceled into 100 room blocks starting from 00 and running to 99. If a zone needs more than 100 rooms, the zone number will remain the same, but the first part of the room number will not reflect the zone number. For example, Tynstri is 200 rooms, starting with 6600 and ending with 6799. It is all still in zone 66. This means there is just one zone file, and the zone number in every room in the zone is 66, even for those rooms whose room number begins with 67. If this doesn't make a lot of sense yet, don't worry. There are very few zones over 100 rooms, and if you are writing one it will become clear long before you get to your 101st room! |
