No, probably wouldn't have had the problems if I checked out the spec.. It was my first networking app though, so I wasn't sure how I should go about it. So I just did whatever. In due time I'll go and take a look at it, and fix my code.. Until then, I'll worry about the other stuff. "He who controls the stuffing controls the Universe" |

Ok. See you soon no doubt it'll be about a bug related to the input. -- |

Hey, have you had 23y3 on there yet?

Yeah. There's been a lot of people on. 1/2 of them haven't posted in this thread. Several of them I could have swore never posted in their lives. I'd dig through the users, but they're in their own letter-assigned directories.. so.... if you want to, you can check them out here: Just did some more updates.

Looking good. I've never played a MUD before but kind of reminds me of the old BBS game, Legend of the Red Dragon. I need to find something better than telnet - ack!

Quote: "ChrisBarry" ... came on when I was out doing stuff. Like caek I did. I was thinking of trying it, but I've never used a MUD before so I'd probably be lost . -- |

Well.. then.. who the fark made ChrisBarry? I must say I found it rather odd. I came on and it said something like: ChrisBarry has left to the North. (I was in the room where characters are created in) "He who controls the stuffing controls the Universe" |

Hey 23! Using a MUD is easy. Just log on and type 'show commands' when you get the '>' prompt. You should have no trouble trying the game out. When I first started using MUDs I thought they were really complex to use, but after trying one out for an hour I found that they were really easy, and fun to use. |

Yeah. It's always confusing for first-timer's. You get use to it though. Mainly because there's so much text coming at you, and n00bs don't know what to look for in it. Battles, for example, are very fast paced.. they look like: Really all you want to look at is the numbers and the names, and skip everything inbetween. As for the commands, it's like using a DOS-Based chat room. [edit] Added a little piece of code which patrick gave me which tells the client to hide the local echo. Added it for when you enter your password at login (wont show it when you type it). Bunch of other minor things. Added some flags and stuff... nothing else of interest.

It doesn't seem to work with windows XP's telnet. -- |

spellcaster, you have to turn on Local Echo with WinXP Telnet or you won't see a thing you type. type "Set LOCAL_ECHO" before you connect. Good luck! ------------ |

I'm really looking forward to try this thing out! Unfortunately it appears to be down at the moment... I'll try it again later and see if I can get anywhere. |

Quote: which looks pretty bad since I normally use a blue BG... and if I change to a black BG the red "name" string is almost un-readable I can't really control the brightness of colors. I only have Bold and Regular weight adjustments. Most clients also change the brightness for these. You'll need to adjust the standard colors from your client (Most use the standard 16 color pallete like MS Paint has). I'll have an option to remove ANSI Color in the not to distant future (already have a function to stip it, just haven't made an option yet). Quote: I don't get an echo for anything I type.
Also a client setting. However, my server tries to disable the echo, but just for the password. It enables it after you enter a password. Quote: "Connection refused"
Yeah. It crashed last night.. "He who controls the stuffing controls the Universe" |

BTW. Taking logs offline in a second.. since they're accessible (not that I think anyone knew that). It logs all commands recieved from the server, including passwords.. so.... Yoink! [edit] "He who controls the stuffing controls the Universe" |

Actually, I'm not so sure everything's really gone, I just think that it doesn't start you in a room with any exits. If you use the goto command to go to room 101 (gotta love being able to cheat, heh), you end up at the entrance to the Forgotten Castle, which I'm guessing is a new area that Derezo is working on creating. EDIT: I think I just crashed it (blushes). I was experimenting with the redit command, I think the last thing I did was 'redit 200', a second later I got a Connection Lost, and can't reconnect. Couldn't ping it either. |
