Rooms are the places MOBs go to in the MUD. A room can be indoors or outdoors, large or small.

Grid Room considerations

• If you mismatch gridrooms adjacent to each other (like a 2x3 gridroom west of a 5x4 gridroom) you can make some non-Euclidean areas, which has the effect of confusing player maps. This is actually useful if you are trying to make a large area that is traditionally difficult to map due to lack of landmarks, such as deserts or oceans.
• If you place an item in the base gridroom (such as, in the grinder), the item will NOT flow down into any of the specific grids, and will not generally be accessible to players. Instead, consider giving the items to mobile MOBs in the room.
• If you add a MOB to a gridroom, make sure that they are mobile so they can leave the parent room into the individual grid rooms.

Special Room Designs

Bridge Rooms

When designing a room (Room#A) that goes over another room (Room#B), that a player cannot easily travel DOWN to (no path) but should be able to jump off a ledge to get down:

• Make sure there is no DOWN exit in Room#A (DESTROY DOWN)
• Create a new room below (CREATE ROOM DOWN OVERTHELEDGE) which we will call Room#C.
• Modify Room#C and provide it with a title, description and Prop_ReqNoMob (so your mobs won't randomly jump to their deaths).
  • NOTE: If doing this via the command line, you might want to make sure you are flying before entering Room#C.
• Link Room#C to Room#B below (LINK Room#B DOWN).
• Make sure Room#B links UP to Room#A (this will allow players with a jumping ability to potentially reach Room#A).
  • If Room#B already has a defined UP exit, you may need to DESTROY UP, and then LINK Room#A UP.

Special Atmosphere Rooms

In the command line, you can change the atmosphere of a room with the command MODIFY ROOM ATMOSPHERE <atmospheretype>.
