Here's a question for all the smaug guru's out there-

I'm new to running a mud, not really that new to muds- and I'm eager to get out there and start making the typical nonsensical areas you see in other muds, but I just have one porblem so far, mainly

How do you figure out what Vnum's are already assigned to areas?

I want to start working on it, but this one thing is keeping me from doing so- also, any pointers/tips for assigning these things? Should I stick to a certain range, not go above a certain number. ect?

Thanks in advance,

Type in "zones" - that will tell you. Basically just use vnums that are not in use.

There have been some posts recently about the "billion vnum" patch, and whether or not it works.

To be safe, I would stay below 32767. There are quite a few gaps below that.

Thanks, I actually found the zones command in your FAQ after I posted this question, *smacks himself* bad newbie! bad newbie! =)

Thanks for the very quick reply- I'll be sure to turn here if I have any more questions, after I read the FAQs, of course *grin*
