Last time I checked, about 2 weeks ago, the SWRFUSS package worked fine. All the issues I've seen in SWR with rdelete, odelete, and mdelete just seem to be in SWRIP.

All 3 of the FUSS packages should compile and run just fine in Cygwin, FreeBSD, and Linux. While I may not religiously test for this each time they get updated, they did all work the last time they got a thorough exam. If there are any compiling issues that keep them from working, I'd appreciate knowing. You can report them here, or on Mud Planet. Either of those should be enough to get my attention :)

Well Toy.. As i stated before. I am only a beginning
programmer trying to get the hang of things. I do not yet
understand how to change mass ammouints of the code for
fear of making it be so much more broken than i can deal
with..
I would really appreciate it if you could put the actual
directions on how to do that in here so i can follow them
wthout worry that im messing somthing up.
Actually, I just got done dealing with this issue myself. What I did was took my original SMAUG release, and replaced all the rdelete-odelete-mdelete SWRIP calls with the SMAUG ones. Had to change a few calls in mud.h, but it seems to be working just fine for me. Hope this helps any.

Oh yeah, in the calls to do_rdelete, there were calls to delete_room in db.c. Had to change that too. I'm pretty sure you have to do that for odelete and mdelete as well (forget what their calls are offhand)

As to shed some light on the matter of why it wont work, well, its simple really. SWR is based from an older version of SMAUG, which obviouslly had plans for all of the delete commands, but didnt get them working. The current release of SMAUG has them, and they could easily be ported over. As for why SWRiP doesnt have them, well, its based from SWR. I'm sure they just werent added. Like on my mud, rather then deleting I merely just work around it, renaming and changing everything.
I beleive that the FUSS packages were modified to work on all platforms, I don't know about FotE though, since I happen to dislike it.
As for r/o/mdelete, they are NOT included in SWR1.0, as I beleive that SWR1.0 was based on an earlier version of smaug that 1.4, though I could be wrong. Either way, o/m/rdlete do not work in stock, and the commands may not have been developed for FotE.
Ok.. i guess i need a bit of help understanding what rdelete, odelete and mdelete do.. because i need it to completely wipe the vnum said obj, room, mob was given and make it like it was never there..
currently rdelete just wiped the name and description of a room, not the flags exits or vnum itself..
odelete dosent work.. neither does mdelete.. im at a loss for what you need to help me... please assist me in assisting you to assist me :P
