I was hoping someone could shed some insight into player housing area code. I hear voices in Mithril Halls... and it scares me.
Its obvious that the people yelling are not in Mithril Halls, at least I doubt it because non-dwarves do not just walk into Mithril Halls. I am treating them as OOC yells and ignoring them IC. Still, it has me wondering what area MH player housing is coded into, at least regarding yell commands. I am a little hazy on housing code (aren't we all?), are they all on the same area code?
Random yells about Nibbets and buckets during smelting sessions can be disturbing!

Re: I hear loud people...
The yell channel is heard, as you rightly say, throughout all rooms in an area file. If there's a yell anywhere in the file (and all coded dwellings tend to be. I assume the MH ones are the same), you'll hear it as surely as if it were yelled next door!
It raises an interesting point though. Are these yells coming from player characters or NPCs? If there are some noisy NPCs causing a ruckus for everyone else, I'd suggest dropping the builders a quick email to see if they can be quietened down a little. If it's player characters, then ignoring them is probably the safest thing to do!

They were PCs, no worries there. It just hit me a bit odd that I was hearing yells in Mithril Halls housing and got me curious. I'll mark them up as "all housing in same area code" and continue to ignore them. Thanks,
Still creepy to be smelting away in MH and suddeny hear someone yell about buckets.
