Re: Worldgroup on Windows 10 64bit
Totally agree. I think people will be pleased with v10. It will install clean, it will run clean. It will be 32-bit, so the existing 3.x modules will run fine. Maybe we can convince the MBBSEMU people to stop competing with the project and join us instead, creating a module that can plug-in and exec...

Re: Current Sysops - Client/Server usage
Good point. At one point I did some research onto best practices for porting old VB3 code. But even "back in the day" when I was a VB developer it was mostly VB6... crazy.
Re: Security
Good point Dan on the VB stuff. It's ANCIENT VB3. Even VB6 is ancient at this point. It'd basically be a re-do at this point.

Re: Worldgroup on Windows 10 64bit
The console freeze bug was part of the 3.3 release I believe. That was a very rushed build. 3.2 is far more stable and as such is the basis for v10.
There is an installer hang on the latest win10 but it doesn't stop the install from working.

Re: Ported games
Update on these plus Number Shuffle, Strategic War Games, CyberCards, etc. Right after these posts - labor day weekend - I decided it was a good time to backup the brand new dev laptop that I was using to work all summer on this stuff. And unfortunately, WHILE BACKING UP, the brand new SSD up and di...

Infinity Complex!
So many people have been asking for this one -- it's owned by Elwynor Technologies and it has been something I've taken forever to get to. It was written in 1988, believe it or not. Minor updates after that. The first true "great" game for Major BBS and one of the "big five" modu...

Re: Farwest Trivia Scores File Corrupted!
There are so many trivia modules out there. The biggest issue is getting better trivia data. I have triviadb.com but have yet to do anything with it :)

Re: MajorMUD 2.0
Ironically, MajorMUD itself came about due to the difficulty the West Coast Creations folks had getting a Tele-Arena license. So they aimed to build a new Tele-Arena for themselves.
This could be the same thing. We can't call it MajorMUD but it's a good idea.

Re: Tele-Arena II for Worldgroup
Lots of goodies coming from the Dan/Rick partnership on Tele-Arena. While TA1 and TA2 have been sold a while, we're working hard on making things more stable and consistent. TA1 will be replaced probably this week/weekend with the first official release from this partnership (ELWTA) and it's based m...

Re: Who's running WG w/ PervasiveSQL (PSQL)
Nah those ELW files are text files from those games. Those games are late 80s games ported up as-is. I should do more on them in the future, but I still have a backlog of modules. There's also a version of Btrieve/Zen/Actian that runs on Linux and I think Mac. But the licensing has changed and they ...
