This page is in response to the many emails and forum messages I get such as:
MUDs are generally designed to be configurable, so many changes can be made without changes to the code. Such changes are:
Here is an example of using the area editor:
|
In the area files you can change:
In the "system" sub-folder is a file "sysdata.dat". By editing this (with Notepad, for example) you can change some system parameters. Note that "strings" like the MUD name, must end with the tilde character (~) or the file will not load in properly.
|
You can also edit:
There are other directories too with files in them, clans, classes, races and so on. Edit the files in them (with Notepad) to get an idea of what they do.
This is an easy one to do. Edit the file area\help.are and modify the help topic "GREETING".
Eventually you will want to make a change that is not allowed for in the configuration files, such as:
To do this, you need to obtain and modify "the source".
Source (code) is computer instructions written in a human-readable language. In this case most MUDs are written in the C (or C++) language so you expect to change C source code.
Before source code can be used by the computer it must be "compiled" and "linked".
Compiling turns source code into machine code. The program that does this is called a compiler. In the case of MUDs there will be more than one source file, so it is necessary to compile many files.
Generally the source files names with end with ".c" and the object file (the compiled file) will end in ".o" or ".obj".
In the case of SMAUG, if you do a directory listing of the ".c" files you would see something like this:
|
After compiling the source files you would see a similar number of ".o" files:
|
In this case there are fewer .o files than .c files because of some options that were disabled during the compilation process.
The source for SMAUG and ROM (modified to work under Microsoft Visual C++) are available at this site - see the "Downloads" button above.
The original source designed to compile under Unix is available from the original site. A lot of it can be found at http://www.game.org
The main compilers I would recommend for compiling a MUD on Windows are:
If you use Cygwin it will help to understand some rudimentary Unix commands, or you will have trouble using the "shell" (command interpreter). This should get you started:
| Windows | Unix |
|---|---|
| copy | cp |
| del | rm |
| move | mv |
| dir | ls |
| cd | cd |
Also, Unix uses the forward slash in file names rather than the backslash.
Of course if you are using Linux, OpenBSD, FreeBSD or some similar Unix operating system, then all the tools you need should be installed "out of the box". If not, you may need to install the compiling tools from the distribution CDROM.
The program "make" is used by Unix/Cygwin to automate compiling and linking the files that comprise the executable. Make reads a configuration file (usually called "makefile" or "Makefile") which has rules for which files need to be compiled, and which depend on other files.
Usually you can use make by changing directories to the directory with the source in it (ie. the .c files) and then just typing:
makeMake is smart enough to not recompile source that has already been compiled, and not changed since that compile.
If you are using the Microsoft compiler then you don't need to use make, just invoke a "rebuild" (usually F7).
As each file is compiled the compiler generates an "object" file, which is the C code turned into computer code. Depending on the compiler:
Sometimes you might want to delete the object files to force a recompile, for example, if you changed an option in one of the include files.
In the case of Unix/Cygwin, you would type:
rm *.oOften the make file will be set up so that typing "make clean" will have the same effect.
In the case of Microsoft Visual C++ you simply do a "rebuild all".
Once all the files are compiled they must be "merged together" to produce a single executable file (the program that you eventually run). This process is called linking. In the case of Unix the compiler will often do the linking as a final step (when told to by the make file). In the case of Microsoft Visual C++ the linking happens once all files are compiled OK.
Virtually any editor can edit the source files (and area files etc.). For instance, Notepad that comes with Windows will do the trick. However there are easier editors to use, ones that have "find in files", syntax colouring, automatic indenting and so on. I use UltraEdit (http://www.ultraedit.com) however the are dozens of programmer editors around that you could choose from.
First, search for a word that you want to change, like "Thoric", just use a program that will do a search in multiple files (eg. Microsoft Visual C++, UltraEdit, grep). If you are using Unix/Cygwin, grep does a good job. For example:
|
In the example above I searched for Thoric with a double-quote in front, to eliminate a lot of false matches (because Thoric was the author of the code). You can see the you will find references to him in:
Now it is a simple matter of editing those four files, and going to those lines. The "-n" option in grep said to display the line numbers. You could also use "-i" to do a case-insensitive search if you thought the word "thoric" might be there.
Another way of finding things is to know that the authors of the MUD servers generally name their functions in a consistent way. For example when you type "who" that is handled by function "do_who". If you type "score" that is handled by a function "do_score".
Here is an example of finding the do_who function:
|
In this example I added the extra option "w" to tell it to match on exact words. This eliminates matches on "do_whois" for example.
As you can see, there was more than one match, however the first two are comments, and most of the others are references to do_who, not the function itself. You can usually pick the function because it will be preceded by a data type, or the word "void". Thus, the function do_who is coded at line 2376 of file act_info.c.
Since all commands will be implemented in the same general way (ie. return void) you can make it easier for yourself by searching for the word void too, eg.
|
However if you wanted to be cautious (because there might be two spaces between "void" and "do_who" you could tell grep to match on one or more "space-type" characters, as in the example below. Because of the extra typing I would probably try the simpler one above, and if that failed to produce a match, use the more complex one below.
|
Both of those examples return the exact file and line number, without any extraneous material to sift through.
Another really useful utility is "ctags" that seems to come as part of Cygwin, and can be installed if not already there for Unix. What this does is - on request - search all your source and build a "tags" file. You can then use that tag file to go directly to a particular function.
To use ctags, first index your source - you only need to do this once initially, and occasionally after that if you make major changes. If you add new functions, but do not rescan then the new functions won't be in the tag file.
|
On my 166 MHz Pentium, the above step took 7 seconds (under Cygwin).
Then to go to a particular tag, you can invoke vim with the -t option, like this:
|
Also, once you are editing with vim, you can go to any other tagged function by putting the cursor on a reference to it, and pressing Ctrl+]. Afterwards, pressing Ctrl+T takes you back to where you were before following the tag. This is very helpful for seeing what a routine does, when you see it being called.
Below I will work through installing the SMAUG source (the one with MXP built in), compiling and running it. Then we will change a couple of things and recompile.
I will assume that you have installed Cygwin from http://www.cygwin.com/.
If not, see Installing Cygwin.
Things you type will be in bold.
$ ls
smaug1.4a_mxp.tgz
$ tar xzf smaug1.4a_mxp.tgz
$ ls
smaug smaug1.4a_mxp.tgz
If you want to see the names of each file as they are unzipped use "tar xvzf" rather than "tar xzf". The extra "v" tells tar to be "verbose", and it will list the names of each file and directory as they are processed.

You will notice some warnings about "suggest explicit braces" and other things. You can ignore those. If you are keen edit the appropriate source files and eliminate the warnings.
If you get an error message along the lines of:
