Custom portals

[erkyrath]

Possible uses for custom interworld links (that don't present themselves as, e.g., linking books).

• A long walk from one Cavern neighborhood to another
• Magic teleporters unrelated to the standard portal theme
• "Death" that drops you into an afterlife world instead of /panic
• A scene change that needs to be from a global instance to a private instance

Note that some of these cases bypass the standard "examine portal, details in right-hand panel" view. They might be simple links. They might be code-triggered.

Therefore, we have to be careful.

• Such links should always be uncopyable. (Or if they are copyable, they'll shed their custom nature and become normal portals).
• Unless the customization is associated with the destination loc? Then any link to that loc, from your booklet or wherever, has the custom nature.
• The onenter hook (when linking in) must exclude permission to link out. Avoid infinite loops.
