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 Guard Walk~
|
|
This is the outer ring of the Army's main encampment where patrols keep a
|
|
constant vigil, watching for signs of hostile intruders. At regularly spaced
|
|
intervals, there are guard towers for lookout purposes which are manned
|
|
twenty-eight hours a day. The main section of the camp lies east of here along
|
|
a roadway, the main highway through the gates to the west.

The Guard Walk~
|
|
This is the outer ring of the Army's main encampment where patrols keep a
|
|
constant vigil, watching for signs of hostile intruders. At regularly spaced
|
|
intervals, there are guard towers for lookout purposes, one of which is right
|
|
here. Entry into the tower is by a tall ladder which climbs to the floor of the
|

tower.

formation and does horrendous hours of physical training which is required of

officers might train in their riding and horseman's skills to better their

The water is very cold, so cold as to numb flesh. It is very pure and crisp,
|
|
however, which is the main reason why the army chose this valley over many
|
|
others that they might have picked.

Latrines~
|
|
This is more or less a three foot by three foot box with a small wooden
|
|
platform built at the east side. A hole has been cut into the top of the
|
|
platform allowing soldiers a place to rest their rump where they may relieve any
|
|
excess bowel pressures. It truly stinks like shit in here.

Roadway~
|
|
The roadway runs east toward the east gate of the encampment. You may exit
|
|
the camp just east of here or head into the main camp area to the west.

General's Tent~
|
|
The accomodations of this tent are luxurious compared to that of the common
|
|
foot soldier's tents. It is not, however, a place which one might call
|
|
comfortable. There is a bed here, only slightly larger than those found in the
|
|
barracks tents and the small table which doubles as a desk is only large enough
|
|
for two men at the most to eat upon it.

Roadway~
|
|
The eastern gate to the army is just east of here. To the north is a
|
|
tremendous wood pile which is fed daily by the logging teams of the army.
|
|
Soldiers work constantly at cutting and shaping the wood for whatever needs the
|
|
Army may have.

Lumber Yard~
|
|
This huge pile of wood holds all manner of shapes, types and sizes of wood
|
|
which has been cut by the logging crews for the army. Soldiers work around the
|
|
clock at keeping enough wood available for the cook fires and the tents where
|
|
soldier sleep.

Cavalry Fields~
|
|
The ground beneath your feet is trampled and wet, strewn with divots ripped
|
|
from the earth by the thundering hooves of warhorses. To the west is the
|
|
footman's training area, a large blue tent blocks any passage south.

Medical Tent~
|
|
A piece of strong fabric covers the floor of this tent to keep germs at bay,
|
|
all linens are clean and sanitary. For being in the middle of a camp, having
|
|
only this tent for shelter, this is quite a facility.
