Can this be done already?

You can copy rooms from other holds, so why can't you copy scripts/monster/graphics from one room to another?

DROD 3 will allow copying room regions from one room to another. Floor graphics can already be used in multiple rooms.

How?

DROD 3 will allow copying room regions from one room to another.

When? Can it not be done for 2.0?

He's referring to image floors...if you have one image floor in one room, you can press F9 in another room to place the same image without having to reimport it.

DROD 3 will allow copying room regions from one room to another.

If Mike says it will be in 3, then no, it won't or can't be done for 2.0. I imagine it involves a drastic enough restructuring of the code that it's not worth retroactively adding it to 2.0.

If you really want to use a script in another room, right now...you pretty much have to know ahead of time, copy the entire original room to the new location, and rebuild the room, leaving the script intact.

Game on,

Ok then.

How about a feature of 'saving' or 'importing' previously saved scripts. i.e. you want to wait for a clean room, only if you enter from the North, then strike an orb to exit to the east. It would be handy to make this script and save/export it to use later.

Im obviously talking DROD 3 here

I'm not planning to implement individual script export yet, but I am saying you will be able to copy and paste any NPC scripts from one room to another in 3.0 without exporting and importing. I think this is cleaner all around.
