You also apparently lack anything for Taste, Smell or Listen in the fortress.

We dont do taste/smell/listen for rooms. Most people dont bother with that. But try them on the dwarves and the items that the vendor sells, and you'll notice I dont forget to fully describe them ;)

Well then, my puzzle lot is complete, though I need feedback on it. Thus, @tel #34313 for anyone willing to attempt to disarm my puzzles! (Some of them may be a bit challenging, others a bit too easy). Word of warning though: If multiple people are attempting to solve the puzzles at the same time, things might get a biiiiit confusing :P

EDIT: Oh and if you rate the lot, please leave comments on what can be improved.

Vattic, you'll have to use their web-client and make an account on the MUSH. Once you tell me your name I can give you instructions on how to either add it yourself or send me the art to add it.
Name in game: Vattic

The standalone drawing client has an option for exporting to text which the game can apparently handle. The client has a few more features than the web based one and doesn't being a menu up on right click which is why I'm using it.

Right. The exported code that the standalone client gives can be input into the game. If it's a small picture, i recommend exporting it with first option, and with last option if it's a large picture.

Ah, didn't realize you were using the download one.
If you use that you can simply export the code and then PM it to me, and I can get it added alright (with credits to you..trying to convert all rooms to have a 'credits' command to show who made the room).

If you use the web-based one, the easiest way if you aren't going to help a lot is to save the art to an object, then name it something with 'lolhead' in it and place it in your mailbox, after @desc'ing it with the name of the picture saved on it and @set it=chown_ok. Then I can easily transfer it over.

If you do want to help a lot, let me know your username and I'll set you on edit allow for the zone.

Alright, my Plasma Engineering puzzle is finally 100% completed, with an award and everything. Shameless plug: @tel #34313

Now for the DF lot: Quinn, i've been thinking about the maze vault idea, and I notice that to make a worthwhile one we'd need at least 2-3 dozen rooms, which seems a bit excessive. Maybe we should skip  that and just have a large stone door with many, many, many levers? And activating the wrong ones and such dumps lava on the person? :P

That works too. xD It doesn't have to be uber complex, just a little fun puzzle.
Unless we want an award.

If you just want something simple, heck, I dont even need to work on coding a whole room. I'll make a small puzzle object that can just be plugged to an exit to lock/unlock it. So if you want to make the vault as you wanted before quinn, go ahead. I'll make a simple multiple-switch lock for the door.
