Ok, I know this may sound stupid, but....

Do you have to manually delet races from the mud or is their an olc function? I'm sorry, but I have been using regular rom ports for a long time, and this is SOOO much better, just a bit of a learning curve. Thank you.

Deleting races manually or dynamically (which is currently not an available feature yet) is very dangerous. If you completely remove a race from the system, and a player who recently created a new character based on that "deleted race" attempts to log in, the mud will abort due to the fact it will be seeking PCrace information that is not available.

A good way to find this out is to type:

laston -race=<racename> to see what players may have that particular race before manually removing the race.

Another simple way of going about things is to simply make the race not selectable in raceedit. You can leave the race as a NPC only race =).

Luckily I am doing all my editing before going public, therefore, no problem with that. I was just wondering. Anyone know how to set up some player-run kingdoms? i don't know where to start...

Hi,

There are two options you can go about with this, you can either use the current dynamic clan editing system, or you can do what I did for my mud and hard code kingdoms and a dynamic kingdom edit system.
