Actually, Zemus is creating forgotten castle (101 - 200). I'm creating Elven Forest (201 - 300). All the old players / areas got earased, because I converted a big portion of the file format. I'm going to implement a command that will load everything in the old format, and save it in the new format.. but going to take some time. Working on a few other things right now.

Heh, I'd suggest making it start you somewhere other than the Void...it's pretty boring there Is there a room number you can go into to get to your elven forest? Or do you have to load/somehow get into a different area first? I don't really know how you are handling your areas. Do all areas have to have unique room VNums? Or are only the rooms from one area ever loaded at once? |

Nice! But I think we should begin in a ceratin game room. How do I get to your elven forest, Derezo? |

You can get there by typing "goto 201", sans the quotes. Aikon: I handle the areas in a linked list. Each have a lvnum (low vnum) and a hvnum (high vnum) which is the range for the vnums available to them. Right now it only applies to rooms (properly).. because you can still create objects/mobiles outside of the area's vnum range.. but, later, it will matter for everything. Vnums are global (not in the programming sense Areas are loaded from an areas.txt file, one by one.. I noticed you tried to create an area. I should change the void..

How do I choose my character class? |

Well, since I don't have many (read: any finished) areas, I don't have any guildmasters. So, the only way to change your class at this time is using mset. mset <target> <field> <amount> target can be 'self' for yourself, or other players/mobiles. For class, you need to use numbers (for now) to assign yourself a new class. "He who controls the stuffing controls the Universe" |

Well I played around some more on the mud. Getting much more stable, I wasn't able to crash it. I set myself as a wizard, but I couldn't find a single MOB to fight, and I had no HP. Anyways, it's slowly coming along. Let us know when you do another big update. ------------ |

yep, MOB is an old MUD term meaning Mobile, as Peter said. It is used for any creature in a mud that isn't player controlled. A non-player character or creature. ------------ |

Good mud, looks like it'll be very nice For everybody using telnet, just download putty, it's only 0.35mb. |

Freke: Yeah, the password problem was resolved for a short period. Later it was noted that some clients (our good friend windows telnet, of course) don't want to do that. So they tell me they wont do it, and wait for me to give the ok or something.. and since I don't send that yet, they wait forever for me to do that. So, once I add full telnet support, that code will be uncommented and used once again. BTW, people may have noticed that I haven't added nothing to it this month at all.. that's because I'm coding my entry for HalloweenHack and working on my PHP, and I've been sitting at this desk a little less.

Connect to it via a telnet client (such as windows telnet, but I would recommend downloading something better). The address is in my sig, or in the first post. Port 4000. Enter a name & password, and you're in. There's not much you can do right now, especially if you don't explore the commands.. as you start in a room with nothing in it. Room 101 & 201 are entrances to areas. You can type 'goto 101' or 'goto 201' to go there. (no more repeating myself If it doesn't connect, it could have crashed and I haven't rebooted it yet. If you connect and it's really slow, my cousin could be playing Vice City.. like he is now. "He who controls the stuffing controls the Universe" |

Ah, I finally managed to connect (BTW, is there a way to change the default telnet client in Windows? It would be nice to be able to click telnet links and have them opened with PuTTy...). Can you get past the door in area 101? -- |

He may have locked the door.. and I don't think unlocking is possible yet.. ahem. "open" is a command though, and the direction is the argument. Quote: ... change the default telnet client in Windows?
[edited response] I first did a registry search, and found that line.. but I was looking for something that invoked telnet.exe. Looks like rundll32 does that. Win9x tutorial can be found here. "He who controls the stuffing controls the Universe" |

Going to be updating the server in 2 seconds, and a few minutes after that I'm going to be updating my site with the newest version : 0.07. (Will be the third update on my site today, heh) My project was also accepted into the Depot the other day Wow. This thread is very old... I think it's about time it dies.

), and each area has a portion of those vnums assigned to them.
