It is specifically intended to replace the (extremely<br /> troublesome) method of adding functionality by multiple inheritance.<br /> <br /> Generally, all you need to do in order to use extensions, as a content<br /> developer, is to place a statement like the following in a configure():<br /> <br /> add_extension(LS_Extension(&quot;post_office&quot;));<br /> <br /> This example is how you add post office functionality to a room. The<br /> LS_Extension() macro is from master.h (do #include &lt;master.h&gt;), and should<br /> always be used instead of literal pathnames.<br /> <br /> Extensions are supported by anything that inherits /std/item, /std/room,<br /> /std/daemon, or /mod/character/body.<br /> <br /> The lib's supply of extension modules is located in /obj/extensions, which<br /> is the directory referred to by the LS_Extension() macro.<br /> <br /> In their internals, extensions work in a matter fairly similar to the<br /> affiliation support. More information will be forthcoming at a later date.<br /> The curious are referred to the code; the post office extension is a very<br /> simple, straightforward example.</div>
