Imm Plane and some client work

After I imported the Immortal Plane which houses some special mobs and of course the immortal rooms I could finally goto my beloved Orange Sky. Too bad items aren't working yet or I would have snatched Katleena's couch =)

I also did some experimenting with the client. I added a view which displays the current room at the top. Other content is just displayed in the bottom for now, but I'm considering splitting everything in different views instead of one big scrolling window of text that you normally have in muds. This view is definitely not final yet since I'm not even sure if it's actually useful :P
Currently you can see which exits a room has by looking at the direction buttons in the lower right. I think a lot of information can be displayed in a visual way like that instead of text.

Anyway, Hesp2 is making progress again and the more I experiment with it, the more ideas I get. I hope to write down a big overview in a next post.

The screenshot below shows two clients with the new view:
