ok then, If I make spellcasting by number part of the same patch, then
the protocol can specify that the client should use the number to cast
spells with, rather than the name. At that point what name is sent
doesn't much matter, as long as the client handles them according to
spec.

Oddly enough, nothing I have ever seen in-game mentions a sun. So, the world is an infinite plan. 0,0 is an arbitrary point, probably the further NW that the sailors of the Old Empire ever sailed. Light/heat sources are a number of fixed points in the sky (or on the top of high mountains even!). For reasons that the mages and priests spend their lives debating, their light goes off once a day (for the night), and it follows a cycle of strenghtening and weakening over a longer period that became known as an year. (The days have the same length on all known light sources. The seasons could be different if we wanted, but that's probably unnecessary complication on the weather code.) So each continent has one or more "suns" independent of the others. The reason we don't sail much between continents is that it's too cold, the water freezes, and even magic won't work. Only extremely skilled sailors with the help of extremely skilled mages can find the routes - like the navy of the Old Empire. (Oddly enough, spells of "teleportation" style work across these distances, so word of recall, town portal, etc isn't affected - this probably explains how the dragon hangars and Pupland transport work.) /me takes off the writer hat Codewise: any tile not mapped will be defaulted by the weather system to a large sheet of ice, which blocks spells, damned. Gamewise, we pick an arbitrary point of the existing continent. Personally, I kind of like the idea of putting the "sun" on the top of a high mountain, so somewhere to the northwest of the big range in the middle of the continent would be best - most places keep more or less the same climate, and even the Antarctic doesn't require moving. As for "my" continent, I'll take a good look at it and decide where to put the light source(s). best, Lalo Martins -- So many of our dreams at first seem impossible, then they seem improbable, and then, when we summon the will, they soon become inevitable. -- personal: http://www.laranja.org/ technical:http://lalo.revisioncontrol.net/ GNU: never give up freedom http://www.gnu.org/ ___ crossfire mailing list crossfire@metalforge.org http://mailman.metalforge.org/mailman/listinfo/crossfire
