Nowhere near finished, and with the baby, the fiancee and the two step kids now i haven't had much time to work on it. but heres my latest code. I have a few functions to add in, but oh well. Theres a few semi-big changes i have to make, and its a little sloppy, what do you think so far??

Lots more work to do: Currently 1047 lines!

MUD = Multi User Dungeon.

I would take a look myself but I have my own projects to look after, but good luck in getting further with it :)

For what type of mud is this server?


The brown stuff.


Ok, so it's late and I'm tired.

Gauge

Its a text based mud server, like rom, diku, or merc. Never heard of them?

Dirk Krause
 #7
I have heard of them. But these usually have .are files. Yours is trying to load a .dat file, and I can't find any example for these.

hehe, i wrote some code to load .are files a long time ago in Blitz2D, it does a semi mud server as well :) .. 1600 lines or so :)

I have no idea how far this works.. i think you can walk through the areas after you connect to the MUD.

I haven't ran this in years, so i have no idea how complete anything is.. it does load ARE files and check all the exits on the rooms. Oh, i think the ARE files needed are the original MERC mud ones.

[EDIT]
I ran it quick, yeah, it allows you to run around the loaded area files.

My apologies...i didn't know about the codebox thing, thanks.

Tracer, I got an error with every .are file i tried, but it looks nice, do you have an .are file it works with? i think theres a few different formats.

Heres a few small .dat files that will get my code to work, well as much as it does:

make areas.dat with 1 line of text, blank lines btw
newhaven

then make newhaven.dat with the following text:
Town Sqaure
1
2
3
0
0
0
0
0
0
0
0
North,South

North Market
5
0

0
0
South

South Market
3
1
0
0
0
0
0
0
0
0
0
North

*again no blank, lines, etc

areas.dat needs to only include the area name, the default loadares is this:

roomname$
roomcolor
exitnorth
exitsouth
exiteast
exitwest
exitne
exitnw
exitse
exitsw
exitup
exitdown
exits$

with a blank line between them,o means no exit, a numbe will refer to the room# the exits to. I need alot of work on this.

loadraces and loadclasses isn't really supported yet. But those files should get the program to work. saving is disabled and doesn't save everything. so thats it for now, am still working on it though. Already added alsohere so you can see the people in the room, and when they leave and exit. And a few other things.

Sure, here's two areas, i think they are the standard Merc files.

Midgaard and School area files

Copy them into a directory called "Areas" by the MUD thing source, also create a "Players" directory by the source, as that's where new players are stored.
