Connecting the rooms is a little tricky, because the maps can be randomly generated. In the room editor, use the door menu to make several of the walls doorable (select two points of the wall) -- test the room to show all of the possible doors. Then, your map has to be added to the map list in MAPGEN.SRC (using the ingame text editor)... Just copy and paste one of the lines that looks like this...

fail = fail | SuperPlopRoom("FILE:CAVES001.SRF", AREA_CAVES, -1, FALSE, flags)

...and change the filename to your room name. Recompile and save.

To make the shops have different items, edit the PSHOP.SRC file, and change the item names for the given shop. For example, change ITEM_FISH to ITEM_GREAT_SWORD. The list of item types can be found in DEFINE.TXT... Oh, here... I'll make it easy for 'ya... Very Happy

To put in a new shop in the town, go to the Tools Menu. Click File Util. Type TOWN000.SRF and click Room Edit on the right side. In the top left corner, change the drop-down from Vertex to Object Group. You'll notice several colored diamonds in the room if you zoom in. Those are object spawn locations. Click one of 'em and it will tell you what object spawns there...

A shop is comprised of a DDD plop (the actual house looking thing -- HOUSE00.DDD for example), and a particle that handles the actual workings of the shop (PSHOP.RUN). The DDD is White, and the particle is green if that helps. Click on one, then click the Copy Object button. Do it again for the other. You'll now have 2 new objects in the center of the room -- put 'em where you want. In the green object, change the "Misc7 = 2" (or whatever) drop down list to be a number from 0 to 15... That's used by the PSHOP.SRC script to determine which shop type you'll have.

Adding new classes involves tweaking WSPAWN.SRC, which is the little character setup window that appears when you first start the game. The cheat feature shows how to start as a monster...

To change hair styles, look at CPLAYER.SRC.

To add a new item, you'll need a PCX file for the icon and a SRC file for the item script... You'll also need to register it in ITEMREG.SRC... If the item is a weapon, you'll also need a DDD model file.
