i think my problem with romolc10.tar.gz is that it
is a pain in the butt, because i have to go through
and change stuff, and from the instructions its kind
of detailed on how but where specifically to put them
doesn't seem to make much sense to me... i've tried
a couple other versions of the olc with the proper
source code and they seem to patch fine usually but
then lots of errors later... i'll figure it out...
then again, who needs areas? ;)

i'm done with trying to get olc and color happy with
each other.. its pretty much hopeless regardless of
what versions i use... but i did find this source
code with olc and color already in it, and it is
rom24b6... i think i have another makefile error,
but i'm not sure... maybe you could help?

here is the makefile

CC = gcc
PROF = -O -ggdb
NOCRYPT =
C_FLAGS = -Wall $(PROF) $(NOCRYPT)
L_FLAGS = $(PROF)

O_FILES = act_comm.o act_enter.o act_info.o act_move.o act_obj.o act_wiz.o \
alias.o ban.o comm.o const.o db.o db2.o effects.o fight.o flags.o \
handler.o healer.o interp.o note.o lookup.o magic.o magic2.o \
music.o recycle.o save.o scan.o skills.o special.o tables.o \
update.o mob_cmds.o mob_prog.o olc.o olc_act.o olc_save.o bit.o \
mem.o string.o olc_mpcode.o hedit.o

rom: $(O_FILES)
rm -f rom
$(CC) $(L_FLAGS) -o rom $(O_FILES) -lcrypt

.c.o: merc.h
$(CC) -c $(C_FLAGS) $<

Both DOLD_RAND and DNOCRYPT give me errors galore...
undefined reference errors....

here is the source just in case you want to have a look
cause as of right now i'm lost in thoughts....

OK, here is what I did:

1. Copied makefilelinux to Makefile
2. Changed the third line of Makefile to:


NOCRYPT = -DNOCRYPT -DOLD_RAND


3. Changed the list of files in Makefile to:


O_FILES = act_comm.o act_enter.o act_info.o act_move.o act_obj.o act_wiz.o \
alias.o ban.o comm.o const.o db.o db2.o effects.o fight.o flags.o \
handler.o healer.o interp.o note.o lookup.o magic.o magic2.o \
music.o recycle.o save.o scan.o skills.o special.o tables.o \
update.o mob_cmds.o mob_prog.o olc.o olc_act.o olc_save.o bit.o \
mem.o string.o olc_mpcode.o hedit.o NewMagic.o act_newc.o \
remort.o bank.o


Basically this involved adding the following files to the end:


NewMagic.o act_newc.o remort.o bank.o


4. Edited the file merc.h, and at around line 2915, changed:


char * crypt (char *, char *);


to


#ifndef NOCRYPT
char * crypt (char *, char *);
#endif


Then it compiled without errors. :)

Check out the posts about "SWR server" - the guy compiling that had similar problems (I know it is SMAUG and not ROM, but the same principles apply).

I don't know what to suggest. Check you have a "bin" directory (above the src directory).

Check you have the latest Cygwin.

I am having trouble removing the stock area to free up vnums. I was leaving the usual...

help
limbo
immort
midgaard

but it doesnt work. Id there more hard coded vnums in this windows version than the standard dist?

if so exactly what can I remove. in the meantime I'll be digging for them in the source.

Check out this forum topic:

Question about Areas

I list various vnums there (obtained from the source) which is not necessarily comprehensive.

Try opening a command window (DOS window) and running from there. At least then the window will not just pop up and then disappear.

Then, in the command window, change to the area directory. eg.


cd ../area
../src/rom


That will work a lot better.
