This just converts the few DOS text files still in here to standard text files (line-endings), removes all the trailing spaces on lines, removes all the trailing blank lines, and replaces all the tabs (except in .zon files, where they seem to be common) with expanded spaces. It's easy to confirm this is actually a non-change, except for whitespace: * `git show -w` shows this commit as only removing 8 trailing blank lines. This should make no difference to tbaMUD itself, but it will make working on these files, especially with scripts and automated tools, much easier. This is the base change for a set of other changes I will put up once/if this merges, without this, the others are just too complicated to wrangle.

The Judging Booth~
|

You stand in the midst of a small room with windows on the east and south
|

walls. These windows provide a complete view of the competition fields.
|

There are several scorecards, pencils and other items that are used by the
|
|
judges sitting on a table. The only exit is a trapdoor leading down.

This is the western side commoner's seating area. There are row upon

row of rough wooden benches bolted to the floor. There is stadium garbage

everywhere and the smell makes you want to puke. Stairs lead up to Caesar's

The Abandoned Gate~
|
|
This used to be a gateway to and from western Rome. There is an iron gate
|
|
blocking your way and judging by the amount of rust and foliage growing on the
|
|
bars, it hasn't been open for years. Looking through the gate at the barren
|
|
landscape that lies beyond, you can see why. A dirt road leads off to the east,
|
|
and a store is directly south.

The Common Seating~
|
|
This is where many of the common Roman citizens are seated during the
|
|
games. These are the cheapest seats in the house, as glare from the sun
|
|
is usually a problem during the afternoon. Like the other common seating
|
|
areas, this place could stand extensive renovation and a thorough cleaning.
|
|
This area extends to the south and a much more elegant seating area can be
|
|
seen to the west.

The Aqueduct~
|
|
You are in a massive stone structure that has been designed to channel
|
|
water into the city of Rome. Due to the recent drought, the water level
|
|
is low, allowing passage without a boat. The walls and floor are covered
|
|
with algae and slime producing treacherous footing conditions. There are
|
|
exits to the north, south and east.

The Mage's Shop~
|
|
You are standing in the mage's shop. Magical ointments, charms and
|
|
potions are sitting on shelves and behind a glass counter. There is a
|
|
dense neon blue fog hugging the floor here, making it impossible to see
|
|
below your knees. You suddenly hear mutterings coming from the back
|
|
room, possibly from...
|
|
KKKKKAAAAAABBBBOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!!!!
|
|
You are deafened by the noise from a tremendous explosion and the
|
|
concussion from the blast staggers you! The shopkeeper seems to pay
|
|
no heed to this. The door to the back room opens and an older man,
|
|
wearing a pointed hat, whose face is smudged with soot sticks his head
|
|
out. 'Is everyone alright? Sorry about that. I was testing a new
|
|
spell. I'll try to give advance notice next time.', he says. The door
|
|
then closes.

Froboz's Workshop~

You are standing in the workshop of Froboz the Great, the most powerful and
|
|
famous mage that Rome has ever known. Workbenches line the walls and are
|
|
covered with various test tubes, beakers, petri dishes and crucibles and there
|
|
is an odor in here that can best be described as a combination of old sweat
|
|
socks and burning tires. The only exit is back through the door through which
|
|
you came. In the middle of the room, you see a pile of ashes that looks like it
|
|
once was a body and Froboz is is busy making adjustments on a new type of magic
|
|
wand... Possibly the one responsible for the explosion a few minutes ago. He
|
|
removes a jeweler's loupe from his eye as he turns around. 'How in the name of
|
|
Merlin did you get in here??!! ' he asks. 'Oh, nevermind! Since you are here,
|
|
you can serve as witnesses to the final test of the new mages' spell:
|
|
"ectowatt". ' With this he makes a magical gesture and a paladin appears.
|
|
Crossing his fingers, Froboz waves the wand his direction and what happens next
|
|
is incredible! The Paladin is enveloped in what appears to be a small, well
|
|
contained, thermonuclear explosion. When the smoke clears you can see that the
|
|
paladin and all of equipment has been reduced to a large pile of flaming
|
|
cinders. Froboz throws his head back and cackles with insane glee. 'Now, my
|
|
young friends, what can I do for you? ', he asks.

You are standing in the holding cell area, just off of the cortroom. Those
|
|
who are recently convicted of serious crimes are brought here, pending torture
|
|
and execution. The courtroom lies to the north and another exit goes east.

cells cell~

You can see small and very cramped cells which are filthy. You shiver and

vow to never do anything that would cause you to become a resident.

The Torture Chamber~
|
|
You are standing in a very small room in which there are many tools
|
|
designed specifically for inflicting pain and suffering. Some of them
|
|
are familiar, such as the rack and the iron maidens. Others, you have
|
|
never seen before and they make you wonder about the kind of sadistic
|
|
mind that dreamt them up. The only exit is to the west.

Before Rome~
|
|
You travel upon an East-West road wide enough for 30 men to march
|
|
abreast. It is packed hard through heavy use. To the west stands the
|
|
Gates of Rome inviting you to enter and partake of all the glory and
|
|
splendor that is Rome.

The End Of The Clay Road~
|

The mighty clay road turns into lesser, but still well traveled roads
|

here. You feel a surge run through your body as you look East into the

lands that Rome turned into its mighty empire.

A Small Dirt Trail~
|
|
This small dirt path seems to be a joint between a large clay road
|
|
located a short distance to the west and the expanse of sand which opens
|
|
up before you to the east. The clay road appears to lead through the
|
|
foothills towards the snowcapped mountain chain to the west. Perhaps
|
|
there is a city or settlement in that direction.
|
|
You cannot see any breaks in the horizon of the sand which fills your
|
|
vision as you look to the east, it seems to stretch forever.
