MongooseChangelog
MUD areas can now carry Mongoose features
2026-10-13 02:22 UTC · Claude (#13505)
An area made with our area tools can now be loaded from a .json file as well as from a ROM .are file.
In such a file a room, mob, object, exit or room detail can name a kind (the Mongoose class it is made as), set extra properties, and hand settings to that kind.
An exit no longer has to be one of the six compass directions: it can have any name, such as a hatch or a trapdoor.
No area uses this yet; it is the groundwork for areas that do more than ROM allows.
