Well after some time, I've talked myself into going into windows to mess with byond once again.. I'm sure some of you know that I would not create RancerZero5 without the ability to create everything on the fly. And for a while, I thought byond was incapable of this.. but I was wrong! I finally got byond to generate an empty map set which can be modified in-game.. Soon I'll be adding the ability to create new items, creatures, and everything from scratch. It may be a bit more of a challenge to allow in-game events and such to be customized (eg. for quests and such).. but I have some ideas.

Sounds good! Hope you get it running nicely.

In response to Maz (#1)
Yeah, I use objects for the turf since the map itself is pretty darn annoying. Besides, it will allow me to do neat things to the ground (like dynamic illumination).. I am pretty sure this whole thing is going to end up running really slow.. but.. maby dantom willmove to OpenGL or DirectX.. if not, oh well. It'd be neat if you could use an icon for verbs, that'd be VERY usefull for many things :)
