So, I'm using a mix of Zilal Tutortial #3 - Muds, and AbyssDragon parser. So I'm trying to develop a few in game commands to edit/create/delete rooms offline without adding any new code. Maybe save it and load it within a text file.

I just need some help getting started, can someone help me?
Bump, need help or can someone guide me somewhere..

Its a bit hard to help without knowing how your rooms are set up. In order for this to occur, you need to have some sort of system for saving and loading content.

What you need then, is:

1) Use either the existing savefile format, MySQL DB (See my SimpleMySQL lib), XML (See Deadrons XML library) or your own format for storing information on stuff you create. I'd probably go with savefiles unless you have a reason not to.
2) A system to create rooms and assign their properties
3) A system to save rooms when the world shuts down and load them when the world starts up
In response to Alathon
Thanks for the reply, and I can figure out how to save it and load it when the world starts up/shut downs, I just need help with the whole room creation in itself. I'm using Zilal MUD room setup, So I'm looking for some help around that, but I can easily change it.

So help please and thank you.
