So, after the saved state feature is implemented for QuestNet, and all my coding becomes relevant(hehe), I was wondering if say someone had something they wanted to freely distribute to other QuestNet game makers to ease along their work, but didn't want all the code to be exposed allowing others to change the things around and funk things up, could they perhaps send it to you and have you compile it and send it back for them to post for public use? Maybe that's the motivation for buying Quest Pro, but I figured it might be worth a shot.

Completely unrelated... How would one cancel out the ability to change the text formatting by players? Don't want people clearing the screen in the middle of a game, or having huge green text. Anyone?

a player will type |cg to change the colour of the text. if you goto global commands, and type |cg (for example), then make this message pop-up "you do not have permission to change the colour", or just make it say nothing, the player cant change the colour or font size or wotever.

That doesn't work, I get what you are trying to do though. You'd have to take into account that the player could input their text formatting anywhere in their text. I don't think it can be overridden but I'll work on it.
