I'm currently workin on an offline builder for my mud. However, I am also creating it in such a way, that it will be able to be used by 90% of the mud community. It will have the ability to load any area file, save any area format. Strictly because I am going to have a built it "Format" section so that the user can "set" the format of thier area file to what thier mud uses. It will have an "auto-format" button, however that's not even in the testing stages as of yet. It will also be able to build mob progs, obj progs, room progs. Even include support for extra exits. It uses a database to store most of it's variables(approx 98%). Which, could reside on the mud's server and be accessed across the net.
Currently this project of mine is only for win32 os'. However, I will be porting to the XFree86 when I learn more how to do that for linux. In later versions, you'll have the ability to access MySQL db's and do on-the-fly editing for those muds who have MySQL as thier area storage(which, Kender is currently working on). I'll let everyone know when I'm getting ready to release it for beta testing.

(read a fair bit of important bugs and ideas etc.) But what im after is a reliable Offline area builder. Im currently using a cross between SMArcaed (An edited version of Arcanum Ed). It works ok if all you want to do is design the rooms, and nothing else. All the mob progs, mobs, items etc are all done using the OLC in QuickMUD (I think its 1.81 cant remember). Anyone have anything that is known to work and has a GUI like Arcanum Ed or ORB that works with ROM (Properly). Thanks Guys and Gals.
