How do I add a new area to the MUD?

How do I add a new area to the MUD? I want to make my own themes and do things my own way.

1. Create the area with the area editor (see previous question), or obtain from somewhere else, and place it in the AREA subdirectory.
2. Edit the file AREA.LST and add the name of the area to it, like this:

   
   unholy.are
   gallery.are
   academy.are
   mynewarea.are   <--- add your area file name here
   $
   

Take care to use different VNUMs for your rooms, mobs and objects to existing ones in the MUD, or you will get error messages. To see what VNUM ranges are in use, type ZONES when logged into the MUD as an immortal.
