    Death Scripting: There is an EffectDeath() which will instantly kill the receiver... it even has an optional parameter for 'spectacularly chunky death' (assuming your violence settings allow it).

    Derek French, Producer


    Game Data and OS: All game data (saves, character, modules, etc.) are all interchangeable between the OSs.

    Worldwise playing: North American and Europe versions will be able to play together.

    Has the Linux version been dropped?: No, it has not been dropped. We have said that many times. You will be able to download the Linux version from the Community Site.

    David Gaider, Designer


    Servers: The last I saw before I left, the ILR and ELC are indeed now seperate toggles on the server. So you can turn on the ELC and screen out people from bringing inappropriate characters onto your server... but if ILR is off they can use whatever items you wish when they are actually playing. Or vice-versa... or both, or neither.

    Don Moar, Programmer

    Toolset: I would have liked to have a modeless window for the script editor. There are inherant limitations in the way the system was originally designed that prohibit this easily. That is why we allow the window to open more than 1 script at a time. There are no 'global' variables. There are variables that are assigned to areas and even the module itself, which you can retrieve using the GetLocalX and SetLocalX on the appropriate object. Since the toolset isn't doing any background compiling to continually update some internal list of variables assigned through the use of these functions, it isn't possible to provide lists of these variables.
