| after looking through 2 areas on for ROM and one for DoT, I noticed they appear the same (except for the header).
#AREADATA

Compared to ROM
#AREA
city.are~
City~
Maon~
1200 1301
Is what I am seeing true?
if so then one can simply use ORB or "Area Editor" to make a DoT area and just change the header in a text editor to make it official? | | Top |

| Dawn uses wordflags instead of ABCDEF... for flags in areas, this makes areas more portable in the future when a lot of muds have different usage for each bit flag.
e.g.
#MOBILES
#3000
Name laborer~
ShortD a laborer~
LongD A laborer is here, trying to get his work done.

Regarding importing ROM areas, just add the area to the arealist, dawn should do the rest.

| I did add an area to the list , booted up fine and the area is there and works
when I type are it shows the area I added but it's colour is different than all the other areas(white instead of blue) whether I am in that zone or not.
And should DoT modify the area at all so that it becomes an "official" Dot Area? | | Top |

| Go into aedit and change the area colour:
While in aedit ->
syntax: colour <colour code>
Type help colour for a list of colour codes.
