Looks like the FUSS source has the Win32 stuff in it, so it may well compile under Visual C++, but I haven't tried recently.

Under a Unix-like environment, type:
tar -xzf smaug[whateverit'scalled]

Looks like you'll need Cygwin. Just follow Nick's instructions (on the download page) to the letter and you should have no trouble. Don't make any "creative additions", just follow them exactly and it'll all work.

It's worked for plenty of people before you. If it didn't work for you, you must have done something wrong, somewhere. :)

It should be noted that I have no means to verify if it will still compile under VC++ but if it did stock, there's nothing major enough that should choke it now unless it doesn't like the new color system.

For starters, the smaug downloads available here are tgz files - meaning you cannot simply untar or ungzip and expect to make sense of the files, you *must* do both. This also changes the switch used in a *nix environment since you need to add the ungzip flag (-xvzf I believe it is to unpack a tgz properly). Winzip *can* handle tgz files but you have to stop winblows from changing the file extension when you download.

ok i got everything running on cygwin on another computer on my LAN, now im still haveing troubls with the color, and i am having errors while compiling which are
act_comm.c in function 'do_say'
act_comm.c:937:error:syntax error before string constant
and the code was
act( AT_SAY, AT_BLUE "You say AT_LBLUE '$T'", ch, NULL, drunk_speech( argument, ch ), TO_CHAR );
i dunno what im doing wrong, im still trying to find things online to teach myself c so i can stop bugging you guys about what im sure is an EXTREMLY easy thing to do. I did everything in the post you had shown me but in smaugfuss there doesnt apear to be the same send_to_char as in the other smaug i had used before which DID have that so i didnt comment anything out, perhaps that is a problem as well?

Well, so you know for reference, that a function(like act) can only accept as many inputs as is specified in the function code, so you can't just add in other data. Try this instead:
act( AT_BLUE, "You say '$T'", ch, NULL, drunk_speech( argument, ch ), TO_CHAR );


I think thats what you were trying to do, make all the text blue? If you really wanted to, you could:
act(  AT_BLUE, "&RY&Co&Ru &Cs&Ra&Cy &R'&C$T&R'", ch, NULL, drunk_speech( argument, ch ), TO_CHAR );
Now, that will look really, really ugly, and give you far less functionality, but sometimes it worth it to make it look as you want.

Pardon me, I have amended the post, I forgot a comma. If you just want that, try this:
act( AT_BLUE, "You say '&C$T&D'", ch, NULL, drunk_speech( argument, ch ), TO_CHAR );


That should do 'er.
