im a newbie...

Any one know where i can change the mud name on a FoTE codebase?

You should be able to use the cset command to change it.

Does not look like it. just looked at it and i dont see anything the invols the name...

Try searching for whatever the current mud name is, and I'm 99% certain that you'll find it. (Unless it's set at runtime or something wierd, in which case that might cause problems, but it should at least provide insight as to where to look next.)

Im shure i will find it to if i look in EVERYthing lol.. i just dont know what it is under im trying to make it easyer for my self lol...

That's why you should use a search tool, I didn't mean to imply you should open up everything in an editor and peruse it yourself, use a search tool to do it for you. (grep or windows search (or whatever other utilities your OS provides), or if you have a preferred text editor, there might be a 'find in files' type option).

The only text thing's i have are notepad and wordpad. I dont think thay have a 'look in all file's' thing...

But windows does, search for that text, inside of your source files.

I have tryed that and nothing shows up...

Are you searching in the right folders (source if you think the name will be compiled in, and config if you think the name is set in a config file, I suggest searching both eventually)? Are you searching for the right kind of files (I think it defaults to 'text files', which probably doesnt include things like .c)? And then finally, are you searching for 'text in' the file? or the filename itself?

That failing, try searching for some other text you get in the game (like 'welcome to XXX mud' or some compiled message) to make sure you're searching in the right place.

If you are using 2.0 then I know the soluation:
Go into the system directory and open sysdata.txt.


And you should be able to set it with cset. Again, supposing you are using 2.0.

i am useing 1.1.

Have you changed a lot? If not you should go snag 2.0. If you have, try the said techniques and seach the source for it. It shouldn't be hard to find. I know there used to be about three instances you would have to change.
