A couple newbie questions

Alright I've got two pretty simple questions:

First, if I'm in one zone, and create an object with a vnum of another zone, do I have to save the zone that the vnum is in for the object to save?

And second, how would I install a new zone into the mud? I'm kind of unfamiliar with the commands for installing newly created zones.

Use vassign to make the area, and savearea to save it.

For the first question, you have to save the area that has the object in it. If the object's vnum is 3000, you need to save the area with its object range containing 3000.

Hope that helps.

well with the zone, I don't get how to actually impliment it into the mud. I tried unfoldarea to install it, but it just shows up in the area list after that, and then is removed from it when I reboot. (I'm installing a zone, not a room)

You installing a premade area? all you have to do is edit area.lst in /area, and add the filename of the new area to the list at the bottom.

If the zone is prototype, ready to be installed, do "installarea <filename> [Area title]"

If the area is already installed, and you want to save it, do "foldarea <filename>"

Is that what you are looking to do?
