ROM Builder Statistics Dump - Rahl

Rahl’s historical builder utility exports mobile and object statistics to files for balancing and analysis in ROM-derived games.

Included Content

Read or copy

Original new_dump.c source for producing builder-oriented mobile and object statistics. It creates temporary objects and mobiles and writes reports to files.

License and attribution
The source includes DikuMUD and Merc notices referring to license.doc and license.txt. It also requires retaining Rahl’s name and emailing the author when using the code. All applicable inherited terms remain in force.

Compatibility and operational warnings
The author documents an endless-loop problem in the disabled room-reporting section. Do not enable that section without investigation. Creating objects and mobiles in rapid succession can increase CPU and memory use and cause player lag. Output files can be large. Review output paths, cleanup and permissions, and restrict the command to authorized staff.

Historical software warning
Mudhaven has not compiled, boot-tested, or security-audited this material. Modern compiler and operating-system compatibility is unverified. This is integration material, not a standalone application. Historical contact addresses may no longer work.
