Aaaaaaaaaaaaarrrggghh!!!!! George, you really did it. I was always glad, that only the rusters in EOB but not those in DM destroyed equipment, I hate it! It is ok for RTC of course, but please remove it from "Original DM"!

if i read the new format right, he doesn't have to, you can create your own version of the original 'ruster' instead quite easily using the raw dungeon text file : )

Interesting fact about the rusters in DM - they originally *did* rust stuff, but this feature was removed as it could create un-winnable games. According to Doug Bell, "We took it out. Destruction of objects was difficult to manage in the context of not producing unwinnable games." So there you go...

That´s interesting, I always wondered why they looked exactly as AD&D rusters did but didn´t rust. Yet, now that you mention it I think I remeber an early Amiga version wich had some other bugs, where the rusters did do it, but it is such a long time ago, I´m not sure about it anymore...

How did this work? There are 'broken' tags that can be applied to both clothes and weapons...was this anythingto do with it?

lol, so that's three people aroudn at the same time..scary....

Well, to be honest, I don´t know, and if I knew it is too long ago for me to remember.
