| Hello. I'm trying to get smaug 1.4a to run via the startup script that was provided. The command is suppose to be
tcsh startup &
Using cygwin I type that and it says
LIMIT: command not found
I've also tried './startup' which I have seen mentioned
a few times and it doesn't work either. I also tried installing a windows version of smaug, stole the startup batchfile from it and placed it in the src directory of the smaug I'm using.. then removed the win32 smaug.
It says it cant find cygwin1.dll. So I found it myself and placed it in the area directory. Now when I double-click on the startup batch file it brings up the dos prompt for a split second then closes and nothing else happens.
But I would rather use the startup file that came with this version of smaug anyways. I looked at that batch file and all it does is change the directory so it can run.. well if it would.
While the startup that came with the smaug has stuff in it to reload the mud if it crashes and stuff.
I am able to run smaug, just not with the startup script.
I'm running on windows xp.
I'll appreciate any help.

| I don't think the limit command is implemented on Cygwin. You should be able to just remove it and have the startup script run.
Don't just double click on the batch file, because you won't be able to see its output. Rather, open a command window (start | run | command), and run the batch file from there. That will give you more information on why exactly the program isn't getting past the boot stage. Chances are, it's not finding the files it needs to get started.
I'm afraid I can't help you much more than that, because I'm not familiar with the Windows ports of SMAUG and their startup scripts. I'd have to see the script to tell you more about how it works (or why it wouldn't work.) |

| Thanks for your reply.
Could you explain to me how I would remove 'limit' from cygwin?
I'm pretty new to all of this.
I appreciate it. | | Top |

| | You can just open up the startup script with notepad or any such thing, and find the line that says "limit" and remove that. Back up your startup script first though, just in case. |
