Hi guys,

I've managed to compile SWRiP 2.00 and everything seems rosey. Only problem I have is transferring area files is not working.

I managed to get one area to transfer (Dagobah) from the SWFUSS codebase by copying the area file and amending the area.lst. This has been the exception to the rule however.

Following that same process with any other area is causing the mud to not boot up. I checked the logs and assume it's a vnum issue but I have no idea how to fix it. I'll post the log below. I would appreciate any pointers as this is my first attempt at coding. Also, please note that although space.are gives errors, it does not prevent the mud booting like kashyyyk's do.

OK chaps,

Here's space.are 9717 (as well as a few lines either side. The line with the asterix is actually 9717 - I put that in and it's not actually in the file). It's actually just an empty line with a ~

0 -1 32303

0 -1 32301

And here's the one from kashyyyk. Same deal again with the asterix.

65536 -1 28603
*R M 0 28604 6 28602
R M 0 28604 6 28602
R M 0 28604 6 28602
R M 0 28604 6 28602
R M 0 28604 6 28602
R M 0 28604 6 28602

Hopefully that means something to someone. Thanks for the help.

My suggestion would be to open up newacad.are and take a look at how the rooms are saved to the area file. The R M 0 28604 6 28602 is a reference to the rooms resets, i.e. R<eset> M<ob> 28604<which mob vnum> 6<how many> 28602<what room>. I think... :)

Anyways the issue appears to be that SWRiP 2.0 does not have the area reset fix that SWRFUSS does, so it's expecting resets to be at the bottom of the file under a #RESETS section and NOT with the rooms. The resets fix makes it so resets are nested under the specific room they apply too. I'd wager my left sock that you'll find that #RESETS section towards the bottom of newacad.are. Same thing with limbo.are.

One thing you could do is either A) add the reset fix to the code so it won't have an issue with room resets being saved in that room. Or B) go through the areas you're trying to port over and go through all the rooms, cutting the resets from each room and putting them under a #RESETS section towards the bottom, making sure that everything looks like it does in newacad.are as far as the rooms are concerened.

For space.c I suspect that if you went into your templaterooms.are area file you'll find an object with vnum 2700 in there and space.are is trying to use that object in it. The issue there is that templaterooms.are hasn't been loaded into the game yet so the game doesn't know it exists and therefore where to find it. Try changing the area load order so templaterooms.are is loading in before space.are and see if that doesn't remove that particular error message.
