OK, the player editor is functionally finished (Could use some cosmetic improvements in the future, but it is functionally good enough.)
Can edit all attributes of a character - Except TimesOn and LastOn fields, I don't see any reason for them to be editable. Don't call me lazy - I wrote the code to edit those as well, then removed it as pointless.
Can also edit the inventory that a character is carrying. Any item can be (1) dropped into any room, (2) placed into "Limbo" (Exists, but not in the physical world), or (3) completely deleted from the database.
Am also considering changing the game interface from a basic "point & click" interface, to a text command line type of interface (A textbox field that you type commands into then press Enter to submit what you have typed.) which would greatly improve the game feel to that much more like a normal MUD. I am not sure yet, anyone have any comments on this? Means a lot more coding to write a command line parser; definitely not that hard to do, wrote my first one when I was 14, so will be able to do it again. Let me know what you think about this idea, please!
