Re: [Dev-C++] 'extern const' and std::vector

[David M. <ci...@ya...>]

Random access is essential!!!!

We are storing them sequentially and the system for access
uses the fact
that room #3001 is located just after room #3000 (helps
with speed).
Concerning the comment that this is a bad design. This
vector is what needs
to be global. Only ceartain players (the admins) have the
ability to
directly edit this room data (this will also be
controlled). No matter what
part of the MMORPG is being used it will need access to
this information
(only some basic information commands don't).
