Room flag - Default_Repop

Post by Casamir » Sat Apr 27, 2013 12:00 am

I would like to suggest adding a room flag that would intercept the repop echo for an area, and instead maybe use a default and generic sector-based one instead. This would be useful for outlying rooms that might not fit in with the main repop echo used with the rest of the area.

There used to be sector based ones that would override the area echo and I asked Mask to change that because it made some incongruous things.

If you wanted to make echos specific to certain rooms then you could not specify an area echo and just add a time prog in every room with that room's peculiar echo.

e.g
>time_prog -1~
mpecho {e0}The fibers of this room's shag carpet rustle in the breeze.
