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.

Above The Motherboard~
|
|
You are floating in some sort of ethereal chamber. All about you, a
|
|
prismatic mist swirls about, as if it was alive. A myriad of colors slowly
|
|
phases in and out of the mist. What seems to be below you, is a massive
|
|
computer motherboard. It must be close to a thousand times normal size. You
|
|
can see the SIMM slots, the PCI slots, the cpu, and various other things found
|
|
on most motherboards.

I have left plenty of room in the .wld file for you to build a way to the zone.
|

Other than that, I ask that you don't modify the original rooms. The .mob file
|

and .zon file, and if you so choose to make one, the .obj file can be edited to
|

suit your particular MUD.

This is my first zone I have released publicaly, and I hope you all enjoy

it. E-mail me with any comments or suggestions. All that said, enjoy!

The corner of the motherboard.~
|
|
You are standing in the northwestern corner of this huge silicon wonder.
|
|
The motherboard looks like any other, except for the fact that's a few thousand
|
|
times larger. As you gaze about, you can see electrons zipping back and forth,
|
|
telling things what to do and when. The circuitry beneath your feet is truly
|
|
amazing to behold. Possible miles upon miles of high capacity circuits run
|
|
under your feet. You can feel the pulse of electricity through them.

A microchip cluster.~
|
|
You are standing in one of the many areas of the motherboard. The prominent
|
|
feature of this area is the larger number of microchips that have been built
|
|
onto the motherboard. The large black chips look like buildings now, and they
|
|
radiate an aura of power, as electrons race in and out of them. You are also
|
|
on the western edge of the board. Looking over, you get queasy, as the edge
|
|
just drops off into sheer nothingness.

An expanse of motherboard.~
|
|
You are standing on a rather bare spot of the motherboard. The usual is
|
|
here, circuits, and more circuits. The odd thing is, the motherboard seems to
|
|
be growing, or something is coming up from under it. Under the surface, you
|
|
can see large black masses moving up closer to the surface, ever so slowly.
|
|
You wonder what it could be. After watching the black objects for a bit, you
|
|
get bored, and decide to search for something new.

A warped section of motherboard.~
|
|
You are standing in a warped section of motherboard. There are many, many
|
|
circuits here, criss-crossing each other. The amount of power surging through
|
|
this area is probably tremendous. The section of the motherboard seems to have
|
|
been misshapen from the large amount of heat, it's stretching out towards the
|
|
west. Why it went that way, instead of sloping downwards, you have no idea.

An area of transistors.~
|
|
There is a large number of transistors here. This is probably a focal point
|
|
of the massive circuitry network. Glancing down, you see a hideous creature
|
|
glancing upwards at you from within in the circuits. You take a swipe at it
|
|
with your sword, cleaving deep into the circuit. A small discharge of power
|
|
flies through your sword, but the hilt wrapping, and your gloves manage to
|
|
absorb most of it. The odd thing is, that the circuit isn't shooting sparks
|
|
all over the place, it seemed to fuse itself back together, like clotting
|
|
blood. The creature is not dead, nor was it ever there, it must've been some
|
|
weird illusion caused by all the electromagnetism going on here.

Another warped area.~
|
|
This is odd. The motherboard is really warped here, stretching far out to
|
|
the west. Wanting to find out what the hell is going on, you creep out to the
|
|
edge, and lie down on your belly. You examine the edge of the motherboard, and
|
|
find it quite smooth, unlike typical silicon which has a rougher grain to it.
|
|
As you're getting up, you feel a slight lurch, and the motherboard has
|
|
stretched further out to the west. A sudden look of mixed horror and surprise
|
|
comes across your face, and you find yourself short of breath. "Great gods
|

Another power outlet.~
|
|
You are standing near another one of the power outlets found on this
|
|
motherboard. The electrons here seem to be going to the north and the east a
|
|
lot more, you guess the SIMM slots or something such as that are located over
|
|
that direction.

All about you, transistors tower above you, and microchips perform various

microchip functions, emitting an odd electrical hum.

You are standing in a blasted space of the motherboard. The silicon has

been charred black, and the circuits have been fused closed. This area is

The south-eastern edge.~
|
|
You are standing near the south-eastern edge of the motherboard. This is
|
|
much like the other areas of the motherboard.

Off the edge of the motherboard.~
|
|
Well, genius, you've stepped off the edge of the motherboard, even though
|
|
*I* expressely told you "One false step to the north would kill you. " but
|
|
*NO* you think "Oh, he's just joking around. " and you stepped off, thinking
|
|
you're all high and fucking mighty, well guess what, YOU'RE NOT. As you fall,
|
|
and fall, and fall, into the depths, you look up and see the motherboard flying
|
|
away at high speeds. You look down, and see nothing but mist. You're probably
|
|
going to be falling forever.
