| Hello,
I am new to creating muds... I have Windows XP.
I downloaded this: http://www.gammon.com.au/files/smaug/smaug1.4a.sce.zip - 814 Kb - Source (only) for SMAUG server v 1.4a for Win32
And I don't know if that is the correct one...
If it isn't, can someone tell me which to download EXACTLY.
I also downloaded the Area Editor.
If it is the right one, I must make a .exe file of it, right? And how do I make a .exe file of it? And which of those files in that is the area file? So I can edit it with the Area Editor...
Thanks in advance | | Top |

| Thanks for the reply, but I am a master in PHP & MySQL, so I know that it is pretty difficult and you need alot of time...
You have me this url: http://www.gammon.com.au/smaug/howtocompile.htm
I already have readed that, but the files mentioned in that, like: commands.dat - commands players can type
skills.dat - skills they can use including spells
socials.dat - socials they can use, eg. "smile"
herbs.dat - herbs they can use
tongues.dat - tongues they can speak in
Are not in this http://www.gammon.com.au/files/smaug/smaug1.4a.sce.zip...
So, maybe I have the wrong one... | | Top |

| Ah. Well, you need to download the whole thing, not just the source.
Go here:
http://www.gammon.com.au/downloads/dlsmaug.htm
You'll want one that's not 'source only'. You might want to get the FUSS package, but I think you'll need a Unix-like environment for it (e.g. Cygwin.) |

| I downloaded already from somewhere else... And it's pretty great! I Already changed the start up screen... And changed some races and classes. Now second question: When you sign up, and login for the first time you get a message:
[=] February 1998, the Ill month [=]
And then lots of text etc. etc.
Whats the file for that to change? Which file I must change?
Thanks | | Top |

| You change the fighting in fight.c. If you'd grepped for 'demolish' you'd have found it. :)
The title screens are, I believe, help files. Check the code for accepting new connections to see what it does.
The MOTD is a helpfile - surprisingly enough, called 'motd'. :)
If you're a master with PHP, it shouldn't be too hard to trace through most of the functions to find the login messages. It'd do you good, anyway, because you'll get more of a feeling for the code.
There's an awful lot of documentation on these things - you should try searching this forum and the web in general (using e.g. Google), you'll get your answers much faster. |

text, text, lots of text...
This is not the MOTD, the MOTD is a different file... You get this message at your first login...
Can someone tell me which file this is? And which file the titles are? | | Top |

Do you know about the grep command? Are you on Windows or Unix? |

| Thanks alot! The NMOTD worked, but the I do not mean the first starting screen. After you choose which style you want, for example, you choose RIP style, and then you login, and then you get a message: Place your RIP Title screen here.............................
Or something like that, and that is NOT in the GREETINGS
And I do not know what GREP command is... And I am on Windows XP | | Top |

| | Grep is basically a find command. On Windows XP, you can use the search command and use the 'find in files' option. That should tell you where the messages are... as I said before, you're going to have to do this anyhow, so you might as well start now. :-) If you seriously plan on coding for this, you should start tracing through the code, even just the login code, which really isn't that bad especially if you're a 'master' at PHP. Trust me - it will do you loads of good. :) (and save everybody a fair amount of time.) |
