| Yes, it is supposed to do that. :)
The server window just sits there doing nothing.
If you edit the file log\game.log (ie. the file game.log in the "log" subdirectory) you will hopefully see all sorts of messages.
Now that the server is up, just use your client program to connect to the server.
You don't actually "play" in the server window, because it is designed to allow for lots of players, and they connect to it using TCP/IP to your PC, generally through port 4201, although you can change that in the configuration file.

| The game.log file is only output from the server. I wouldn't bother putting things into it, because it doesn't read it in.
You need to telnet to the server (eg, using telnet) or your favourite client program. I recommend MUSHclient, available from this site.
Then connect to IP address 127.0.0.1 (ie. your own PC) and port 4201.
As the administrator you can then connect to the "god" character called "one" (because he is entry 1 in the database). No password.
Once connected, you can do your @emit.

| Sounds like you didn't rename the MUSH "database" file.
In the "data" directory, copy the file "minimal.db" as "indb".
In other words, type:
copy minimal.db indb

| No, I meant to type that into a DOS window.
In other words, make a copy of "minimal.db" and then rename it "indb".
Alternatively, just rename "minimal.db" to "indb".
Note the absence of the dot in the second name. |

| | I figured this out by accident. to connect to the server on your computer, you have to have the Pennmush.exe running. I ran into the same problem as Sean, and the help you're giving nick isn't as exact as it should be. | | Top |
