REALMS OF *censored* VERSION E

beyond roh , wont be done for a while.. but heres a demo, in a moded version of ROH

a few new commands, lots more areas.. alot of changes

- go back in time
- game time
- sleep
- updated everything
- load
- 120+ areas
- Game reliant on files generated during install.
- Generates 120 files originally but in 1 year game time there will be an additional 16000+ per year (game time)

- the loop goes to :XILE in every single area now, this made it easyer to add a single line of code for many areas
- the if statements have been replaced by a single for statement and a generic file for commands
room commands are handled by another file v%rmid%

the improvements in this game from the last version make it more playable, there is 3 continents and a castle/homes , i dident add enemys/items but that will be in BEYOND ROH

I've been working on simalar lines ~ Here = my atempt:
Going Batty
~~~~~~~~~~~
You can write programs on your computer that end with  .BAT  (short for batch).
The following program:
   cd windows
   win
Would Change the current Directory to  windows  and then run  Windows 3.
Just enter both lines into the  Edit  text editor and save as  win.bat.
With the  echo  command you can print to the screen. Would you like an
adventure? Here is how to start one: Make a directory called  advent
   md advent
Then make a directory called  door  in it.
        cd advent
        md door
should do it! Now enter this into the text editor:
   echo off
   echo You cannot go this way.
Save it as  north.bat  into the  advent  directory. 
For  east.bat  you could have:
   echo off
   echo You see a door and go through it.
   cd door
        look
So you want pictures! They can be saved as self-extracting files with the
Graphwork  program but here we shall use a text file. A word processor
such as  WordPerfect 5.1  has a drawing mode. It is better at making castles
as these do not have slopes. Save as a text file called  castle.txt.
        echo You see a beautiful castle!
        pause
   cls
   type castle.txt
Will wait for a key press, clear the screen and show your castle.
Save it as  look.bat
We are not stuck with one word commands. The line of a batch file:
   edit %1
would start  edit  and it would load the file with the
name you gave as a second word. So if we make the file that contains:
        %1
and call it  go.bat  we can use  go north  or  go east .
Start your adventure in the  advent  directory and try and find the castle.
We can use more than two words and open the door with a key.
But that is for next time.

Okay, this is a bump but this post fits in the topic. I know I haven't been doing much programming, and I certainly haven't worked on EDS as planned. Now I am finally ready to upload EDS V5. It is still in written with the DOS script, and I'm not sure how pleased anyone will be with this update. Don't expect many new features or any quests, but theres defanatley some new stuff thrown in it. Heres, a piece from the ReadMe.txt:

-IN THIS VERSION-

--BUG FIXES

--NEW STUFF
+----Forrests added:
  +----100
  +----150
  +----200
  +----500
  +----1000
+----A second random monster, same chance of attack
+----At top of stats box, your level is displayed
+----Status update after dieing
+----You can buy a print out of your stats in the store
+----New shortcuts to start in Window or Full Screen modes
+----New room in dungeon search

--OTHER STUFF
+----Skill limit; 1000

And, well, to actually try stuff out, you will just have to download it I guess. Please tell me what you think. I disparately need ideas for it now.

Oh and also, if you have an account already, then the die count thing wont work. Sorry.
