Hello,

I am running the latest SmaugWiz server on Win98 and was wondering if you could help me with a couple of problems:

1. I am getting a bug on startup, as follows:

BUG: Create_mobile NULL pMobIndex.
And the server will not start.

I am aware this problem has been answered before, but unfortunately I did not find it in this particular forum. I am getting this message because I have cleaned out all the existing vnums - ie limbo, void, temple etc. and have replaced them with completely new ones with one blank room each, then defining the correct new vnums/rooms within the room options in SmaugWiz. Can anyone help me with this one?

2. MXP for SmaugWiz:

As of now, the current version of SmaugWiz does not support MXP, but it is greatly desired. However, it would require a conversion from Smaug 1.4a to SmaugWiz, and this poses great problems, considering Smaug is C and SmaugWiz is C++ - although I myself do not have a good understanding of either language for the required knowledge of doing this. Does anyone know someone who is willing to help out convert existing Smaug MXP code to SmaugWiz?? If so, you can contact me at my email address or msn, but I doubt there would be a person who would be willing to spend his time on such a thing, excepting Rustry of course, who I am in the process of emailing for further details.

Anyway, I hope you guys can be of help, thanks.

I don't know much about SmaugWiz, but the message about 'NULL pMobIndex' suggests you are missing a required mobile.

Try looking at SMAUG server FAQ - The server won't start up which shows which vnums are required in standard SMAUG.

As for MXP, see my page How to add MXP support to your MUD server which describes in detail how to add MXP, including patches for SMAUG. They might not work perfectly for the C++ version, but by getting the code snippets from that page and following the instructions you should be able to add MXP fairly simply.
