Man some people just get all the luck.

Gardner Denver

Let me know when it's up and going again so I can add the link back to my links page on my website.

Gardner Denver

I sent the software to Ragtop the other day. I don't know if he has it up and running yet or not.

Gardner Denver

Also, the TurboSentry.net domain expired. Someone else has purchased it now. I do not know who the person is that bought it but the IP address associated with the domain pops up on more than a few spam blacklists.

Gardner Denver

Just as a point of interest, MajorMUD can be converted from Btrieve to Pervasive SQL (PSQL) and it works great. This would allow you to expose the data for your realm without the need for someone to log on. I do not know if existing realms can be converted but I do know it can be done on a fresh rea...

Gardner Denver

That would be great. I've tried contacting them myself, but the only email address I can find is for turbosentry and that's out of commission. If you can get hold of them and get permission, I'll put the turbosentry site back online and run it from my server. I normally see him 3 or 4 times a week....

what data exporter is used? all my games written after october of last year support sqlite, and im working with another developer as we speak to begin using mysql with remote database servers. No exporter was used. As stated it just logged in and ran the top lists into capture files. I have the ent...

hey you any good with c psuedo number generation? and i mean truew generation too, i can seed srand all day based on the seconds but if im generating say 5-6 numbers within the same seconds of the minute they replicate. Sorry for the delay in replying, things have been kind of hectic for me here. N...

Gardner Denver

Thats too bad it sounded very interesting, any chance any part of it is stable enough to release and also and editor with it so Sysop's could work on it? I asked Merlin if he would consider releasing the source code for what he has done so far. Even had a C# programmer lined up to pick up the proje...

Gardner Denver

Sadly this project has died it seems. Merlin isn't working on it any longer.

Gardner Denver

Annnnd it seems to be a dead project now

Update posted on the project notes page.

Gardner Denver

Rick the information I'm getting is that nobody at Multiservice (The parent company of Metro) even knew what Metro was really 2 days ago. The company is not listed in their roster, and none of the employees of Metro are on their payroll anymore. The people at Multiservice are supposedly talking to S...

Gardner Denver

According to rumors on a MUD related forum, Metropolis may not actually exist anymore. Conversations with the parent company have shown that Shannon no longer works there, and her entire department was disolved. I can't verify this information nor do I have the desire to but hey, when was the last t...

Gardner Denver

I've used the fTelnet client. It was clean, fast, worked well for what I used it for, which was mostly logging on to a non majormud bbs to play some other games.

Two thumbs up for the project.

So I do some posting on Yahoo! Answers under the programming and design section in my spare time. Here is a summary of this mornings question/answer message Y!

Gardner Denver

For any who may be interested, I release the beta version of this program for testing on GreaterMUD 2 days ago. If anyone would like to see information on the program, the users manual and screenshots can be found at http://www.quest-ware.net/docs/playermanagerusersmanual.pdf Dspain says he is makin...

Gardner Denver

absolutely, i created an XML export engine about 2yrs ago for user information, you went to domain/uinfo/?userid=whoever it would return the info rather user was online or offline. im currently playing with it using the majormud.h file i created for hooking into the wccuser2.dat and have a system a...

Does Worldgroups webserver support ASP.NET Webpages?

Gardner Denver

yeah for WG we would do this using active-html and java applets possibly for the live stuff. all you need is someone to write to a datafile maybe and you could have your API open the database and retrieve the data. we wouldnt even be restricted to btrieve i can use GALSQL to export to SQL-lite. Gre...

Gardner Denver

Just to give an idea of what I'm building, here's what I have for GreaterMUD so far. I would still very much like to make this available for the WG/MajorMUD Sysops and players. http://images.quest-ware.net/mudop_master_02a.jpg http://images.quest-ware.net/mudop_details_20.jpg http://images.quest-war...

Gardner Denver

Are you up to date with all your service packs, security updates, and using the most recent version of YIM? Also how much memory does your computer have?

Gardner Denver

Assuming you have a local network here. If so, you can try adding in the SPX/IPS protocols on your network adaptor so they can handle your local network traffic. Takes some of the workload of the TCP/IP and has been known to help with fussy telnet connections. If this doesn't help, perhaps some more...

Gardner Denver

Hi. I am posting this here hoping someone out there can give me an answer. I know there are ways to "tweak" mmud like to create items and do other things in the sysop support room, i need to know if anyone knows the commands... i have the basic sysop commands but i know there is more of t...

In a nut shell, but more data than just the player name. I sent you a PM with examples.

Gardner Denver

Just needs to accept an incoming request from the client and return a pre formatted string responce to the client based on info in the majormud player datafiles

Gardner Denver

I have a project I am working on (several actually) for GreaterMUD realms. I would like to port some of them over to work with WorldGroup MajorMUD systems. I would like to find a developer who's willing to design the server side program required to make these projects work. Someone who's willing to ...

Gardner Denver

I've been pretty happy with Yahoo. I have 1 web hosting plan and 3 other domains with them. Their price does jump the second year, but that jump varies by renewal period. If you purchase a multi year option they offer lower rates per year. Their support department has come a long way over the past y...

Gardner Denver

If you have a static IP, then you can set it up yourself easily. Both GoDaddy and Yahoo have low cost domain options. I've seen some bad press about GoDaddy and holding domains hostage though, and I know at least one person who has had that happen. I'd use Yahoo Domains. First year is cheap, renewal...

Gardner Denver

One big concern I've had since starting the WG BBS is that if a user accidently says NO to ANSI at signup, I cannot for the life of me find a way or where to change it to turn ANSI back on. In their account settings it still says ENGLISH/ANSI but there are no colors. Any ideas? Several of the Globa...

Gardner Denver

This is an over simplification but rlogin will allow you to log in to one sever from another server by passing the login information automatically so that the end user doesn't have to re-enter the information.

Gardner Denver

Some screen shots have been posted on the site. (http://www.gigamud.com) They are down at the bottom of the page, click the thumbs for larger pictures.

Gardner Denver

No time frame has been given. He's working on it in his spare time so hard to say how long it will take. Progress will be reported on the Gigamud website as there is something to report though.

Gardner Denver

For any of you who may have been living under a rock the past two months and missed this announcment, Merlin, the creator of MegaMUD is back and developing a new client. A website has been setup to keep people informed on the progress of the project. http://www.gigamud.com As major milestones are me...

Gardner Denver

That codec ends up being a lot of trouble usually. It's fine for a test board that only 1 person plays on, like for testing new mods and such. But put into a live realm it almost always ends badly.

Gardner Denver

That's cool. Just thought I'd offer

Gardner Denver

http://www.quest-ware.net offers a full line of utilities for Sysops, Mudops, and end users for GreaterMUD and MajorMUD systems. All software is offered free of charge. There is no signup, no registration, anything. The software is grouped by the platform (GreaterMUD/MajorMUD) that it was designed ...

Gardner Denver

other options will be pulling player info like the /mudinfo command by doing yourdomain/MAJORMUD/?userid="name" I can save you a TON of work on this part. I have a program designed for GreaterMUD that can easily be modified on my end to accept data from a MajorMUD realm. I am also develop...

Gardner Denver

A fresh MajorMUD install can be done using Pervasive SQL as the database manager versus btrieve but that is only the actual mud data files not the WG files.

I can provide information if interested.

Gardner Denver

My understanding is this: Right now TGS/GM does not support RLOGIN. However the idea has been brought up, and I believe we plan on putting in support for it. It may not be a V1.0 feature since our primary focus is on the game engine rather than the abilities of the game server right now. Not really ...

Gardner Denver

That is our long term goal. But we needed a good starting point. The post V1 plans for GreaterMUD are ambitious and grand. If everything we have planned and lined up comes to pass, it will be a massive improvement over the existing product. Of course, IMHO, anything that offers support is an improve...

Gardner Denver

alternatives are ok if allowed by the IP holders. and metro does own it. i'm not a hater and not against what you guys are doing over there but would suck if right at release time a judge orders a cease and desist and all that work gone. I'm still not convinced Metro would have a case if we do not ...

Why let go of MUD? Metro may be done with it, but others are still working on it, and others are working on viable alternatives.
