| I am trying to convert an old mud that I used to play on which was running a modified ver of diku/circle. Now I want to get it to run on smaug 1.4a. Things are actually moving along pretty good but I'm getting hung up with converting the mobs. What is causing the problems is all the effects on mobs which I need to convert from one ver to the other. It would be great if someone out there had builder docs for smaug (not olc builder docs but the docs for coding a mob by hand). If I have to I will try to write a program to convert the mobs over to smaug but it would be really really really cool if someone had a converter already made and thought that it would be cool for some else to use it :)
So, looking for some friendly mud coders out there to lend a hand to someone trying to bring back a mud from the dead. | | Top |

| | Restoring an old mud is cool. Might try and run the files through Area Editor, depending on how unique the codebase it came from is. If not, there are builer's docs with the source, or should be. If not, while I know its a lot of work, but deleting the mobs and rebuilding them might be the only option in some cases. Compare the area files, the documentation, and the code dealing with that. Other then that, I don't know what to do to help ya | | Top |
