Well, no. Passwords are generally encrypted in pfiles. And I don't know enough about DBSC to know why the new player didn't exist. That doesn't happen in my code.

But good to hear you found a work around.

Enjoy :)

Should I not be able to get the password from opening the pfile in the player/a directory? When I started a new character and got enough experience to save and quit, the player I created didn't exist when I tried to log back on. I really don't get that...


EDIT: I deleted the directory and redid it and admin/admin works now.

Yea, that's what I am going to try and do now. The password for Admin was soooo long and it wouldn't work so, I hope this does.

Much thanks for all the help :D

Good work :)

If it's not Admin/admin, then I don't know.
You could try creating a new character, then updating the level to admin status manually in the player file.

Awesome, it works. One thing, I can't get the Admin character to log on, the password is not working. Any help you can offer me on this? :D :D

As I said, it's an MCCP - Cygwin problem. Comment out that line:

Can you paste your Makefile? There may be a section you need to edit to get zlib to work correctly.

Also, when installing Cygwin it is generally best to just install -ALL- packages (unless space is an issue for you). That way you don't have to run the updated repeatedly to get all of it's goodies.

Twisol said:

Also, Cygwin is supposedly an -awful- platform to run a MUD off of. 'Andlinux' or running Linux in a virtual machine (look up VMWare) are oft-suggested alternatives... I'd suggest Andlinux, personally. I've never used it, but I have done a VM before, and it's IMO a bit of a hassle.


I'm not sure I'd call it awful. It may not be ideal, but it does its job quite well. MUDs don't really rely too much on hardware performance, so it is a convenient way to develop and run a MUD, and many people can host it just fine using Cygwin. Cygwin provides pretty good quality replication of a linux environment (though not as good as the real thing of course! :P). I personally make my MUD Cygwin and Linux compatible so that I can develop on my Windows box with Dev-C++, but host it permanently in Linux environment.

I've never used Andlinux, but I have used VirtualBox and it is quite easy to setup and play with.

Template:post=1085 Please see the forum thread: http://gammon.com.au/forum/?id=1085.

Appears to be similar to your problem even though it's a different code base.

Well, I don't know if zlib would be in the right place or not, I downloaded it via cygwin with the setup.exe so I would assume it would install to the correct spot. O well, maybe someone will have some insight soon :D

Sounds like it's not linking against zlib properly. The only time I've had to deal with these issues was when compiling MUSHclient from source, when I didn't have zlib in the right place. Maybe that's your problem, but I wouldn't know where the 'right' place is for you.

Found the GCC files. Now its doing this.

mud.h:25:18: zlib.h: no such file or directory


Now do I have to instal zlib or what?


EDIT: Well, I ran the cygwin installer and found zlib in the devel tool directory so it is doing something now.

You need to install GCC too. I don't know what package that's in for Cygwin, sorry. Probably somewhere under Programming.
