1. This is an independent mod. It's descended from "areas" but isn't a
fork of "areas". It simply uses some of the same code.

The  original author of  "eregions",  aside from  what remains of  the
"areas" code", is OldCoder (Robert Kiraly).

----------------------------------------------------------------------

2. This mod adds support for dynamic region features.

If this mod is installed,  admins can use chat comments to add or sub-
tract special features in specified regions. Such features may be sim-
ilar to the following:

      ethereal    -- Switch to Ethereal mapgen
      low_gravity -- Low gravity
      nomobs      -- Suppress mobs
      etc.

This  list is theoretical.  This mod simply provides the chat commands
and the data store needed for other mods to implement such features.

"nomobs" is implemented, as of mid-2019, in CoderMobs.  It doesn't af-
fect CoderSea or other mods that have their own mob API modules.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

3. This mod is under construction and is not yet documented.  However,
chat commands presently include:

      /epos1              -- Set position #1
      /epos2              -- Set position #2
      /addfeature nomobs  -- Add specified feature to region
      /deletefeature 3    -- Delete a feature by ID number

The ID number used by  "/deletefeature" can be found by looking on the
left side  of the MT GUI.  It's displayed under the label  "Features:"
when you  walk or fly  through a region that has  one  or more special
features.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

4. Speed  of operation  should be about  the same as that of  "areas".
Optimizations might be done in the future to ensure that large numbers
of regions with features don't impact performance.
