Hi,

Thanks to Nick for letting me know about this thread. Sorry I haven't
jumped in earlier, life has been busy.

Building your own world in cyphesis is a bit tricky at the moment, as
you need to learn the rather cryptic XML format, and the python API for
your own scripts. It is also a long way from being feature complete. I
will work on getting some documentation up on how to create new entity
classes in XML, and make them do interesting stuff with scripts soon.

Any information from this community about the details of what they want
to be able to do when configuring a game server for their need would be
gratefully received.
