I'm looking to make certain exits have descriptions you get when you travel through them.

like:
>east
You tromp through the bushes and wind up in a stream.

then show the room desc and stuff


i'll try my hand and begin fiddlin' with stuff, but in the meanwhile any suggestions will be most helpful.

rock on

This might already be implemented with exit descs, but that might also be a feature added to my codebase before I took over.

Anyhow, the idea is pretty straightforward; just add an extra field to your exit_data structure called "exit_desc" or something similar, and whenever somebody takes an exit, if the exit's exit_desc is not null, print it to them.

Out of curiosity, Swimming, what was your solution?

added a movedesc to exit_data structure,
stuck it in after keyords of the exit in the area files,

and in act_mov.c, in ch_ret move_char
after
char_from_room( ch );

if (pexit->movedesc && pexit->movedesc[0] != '\0')
send_to_char(pexit->movedesc,ch);

before
char_to_room( ch, to_room );

working ok so far.
