-This release is about 'carts', which are land-based skimmers / small wagons.
-
carts help file-Carts can be player crafted (more on this in the near future).
-Carts are the same as skimmers in that...
-characters can sit and stand on them
-items can be placed on them
-when they move from room to room they bring the items/characters with them
-Carts are different from skimmers in that...
-they save their location between reboots (as wagons do)
-they require mounts be harnessed to them to move, with some values saved
-attributes (str/agl/wis/end)
-stats (mvs, hps, stun)
-name/owner
-Things to be careful about...
-Things on the cart are NOT saved between reboots, currently.
-Things packed on harnessed mounts are NOT saved between reboots, currently.
-Harness now works for carts.
-syntax: harness <mount> [to] <cart>
-
unharness help file-Unharness now works for carts.
-syntax: unharness <mount>
-Must be pilot (first occupant) of cart.
-
harness help file-Looking at room shows all mounts on a single line after cart.
-Looking at cart now shows its mounts (and name if looker is mount owner)
-Assessing a cart now shows how many yokes are used/unused, and mounts and
their rested level. Number of yokes limits maximum number of mounts.
-Carts are always displayed to room except when ridden
-Cannot mount something while standing/sitting/sleeping/resting on furniture.
-Cannot mount or hitch something that is harnessed to a cart.
-Cannot pack/unpack things that are already harnessed.
-Cannot harness creatures with inventory/packed items on them.
-Trying to use unhitch on harnessed creature, 'Did you mean unharness?'
-When trying to hitch something to an object, ask if they meant harness.
-Passengers are now seen to 'ride' ride in/out of room on cart.
-Pilot is now seed to 'drive' in/out of room on cart.
