Hello there everyone. I'm running an (as yet only lightly modified)
StarterMUD base (Rom 2.4) which was graciously ported to MSVC by Chris
Bunting. I'm running it only for myself at the moment, primarily so
that I can gain some form of coding skills, but I hope to come online
in about 8 months.
Anyway, my question is this: does anyone out there know if there is a
snippet anywhere containing the SMAUG or a similar space system? I've
google'd, ftp'd and looked everywhere. If there were even only such a
snippet for Merc/Envy/Circle/DIKU, I would be quite happy to attempt to
port it over myself.
(I have considered *personally* reverse engineering the code, but it
seems a bit complicated to n00b me */at the moment/* and furthermore, a
snippetised version which explains what I need to add (and where) to
make it work is currently much more convenient than opening up EVERY
single .c and .h file and looking for ANY incidence of the word 'ship',
'space' or 'planet' to find out for myself). If all else fails, this is
probably which I will end up doing.
*- OR -*
Does anybody how well RogueMUD code compiles in MSVC or what work I
would need to do to get it to? I've seen that this codebase is also
based on Rom and that it contains the code I would like. If it compiles
well, or could be made to without much of an
effort, I will cut my losses and change codebase.
Sorry for the long mail, I didn't want to just arrive at this group
from nowhere, shouting: "I'm a n0000000b! Gimme, gimme! Want, want!"
Actually, it's more like: "I'm a M3g4n00b! Gimme, gimme! Want, want!
(Will work for it!)" (o_O;) (#^_^#) - I hope that is more acceptable.
Thanks in advance,
J. Foster
