does anyone have any old imac pcs laying around? i ...

Did you ever finish your general MUD engine? Not related to any of the existing MUDs?

i did but not alot of interest in someone wanting to test it.

it was basic with a small town all shops working and a small path to a graveyard and a graveyard where you could fight zombies and skeletons ...

well TA doesn't have a story, that's what i was gonna incorporate into it.
TA was just a general hack and slash game with a teleconference like interface.

yeah that has gained more attention than the wg addon.

yeah dedecated games serveers are hot now.
I played with Ether for a while too. but he never did a editor for it, so you are stuck with the stock world. geez, I'd even like the TA world on a regular mud engine. like rom or smaug or ...

ok so while awaiting Rick to return i have made a couple options.

option #1: Tele-Arena addon for WG (both 2.0 and NT)

option #2: Tele-Arena standalone server

this will allow sysops to purchase, download, and install a module onto their current system or would allow a user to purchase, download ...

As far as I understand... a lot of content is in the 1.11p data files... all it takes is connecting the new maps to the main map so it is accessible... there is no current path in the game that will connect to it... pretty sure there was a posting I read at one time telling you exactly what rooms ...

did anyone ever manage to get into the mod10 areas? a guy contacted me 2 years ago where he could go to the mod 10 area but couldnt move and wanted me to look at the database and structure blocks and try to bypass it.

I see a lot of open source software that is no longer being developed or even worked on. Open source isn't always the answer.

Besides, open sourcing WG, if that happened, doesn't solve the problem ISV modules that are no longer being updated, such as MajorMUD.

I think you missed my point. It's ...

It could also turn into a ton of source code spin offs too. remember what happened to the wwiv source code and others? everyone and thier mothers was knocking out thier own bbs packages. course thou, synchronet is a open source bbs system and I havnt seen a ton of knock offs from that, and it's a ...

Hey folks! It has been a long time but I thought I'd poke my head in and see how things are going.

All I can do is shake my head and laugh at all the legal issues and money grabbing that are happening in this community. ALTHOUGH super interesting, it makes me sad to see that things haven't changed ...

Was looking for whatever is available for WG NT, a broad question, nothing specific.

Ideally, lists with:
product, price, demo?, stable?, owner, owner_alive?

My experience is that a customer needs to dig these by his own.. Understandable, this is not a new stuff.

Aside from Elwynor, I see no ...

The few MM players I have told me they can no longer purchase Minor healing potions, the shop no longer list's them. ???

Sorry for the long silence.

I solved my problem, but im not 100% certain of the cause. I suspect resources.

I was running the board at full 255 lines, Long story short, i found that if i run at about 245 or so, it runs perfectly. I have since lowered to the 200 range, since i really dont get ...

Wait until they ask you for a small "release" fee up front.

Release Fee :cry:

Oh my :shock:

yeah, last year I won 26 million in a email lottery.
but they wouldnt release the funds to me until I paid a transfer fee of 2500.00 up front.
I bet they just found another sucker and took thier money.

Anyone else get a pile of these connections that don't register or login? The audit trail is filled with these, every 2 to 4 minutes and all are close IP's to each other, I assume the dup.

Yeah, there's a 16mm scope release of conan the destroyer on ebay right now I think.

How do you get your hands on a 6000' 16mm reel? Are they 6,000' 35mm reels that have the width cut to half their size and welded back together, for a custom rig?

frcorey

I have seen a few portable 35mm projection systems, with everything built in, and I've even seen some people do 110v conversions on a few setups that use to be in big theaters. I personally don't see why you would run dual 110v lines vs running a single 220v line.

With the conversion to digital ...

Yeah, everything is turning to computers now days. We're probably coming to a point now where legit arcade machines will be using roms downloaded off of a game server or something, just like jukeboxes are doing with music. Not having physical media is what most companies are pushing for anyway ...

just put the petcii codes in with the mbbs's ansi handler. then it will look for both.

Now that's an idea, where do I do that?

well, I thought it was just a charactor table, but it's logic. if you want to see it, look in emulate.c
that is where the ansi handlers seem to be. you can see how ...

I do not care about the system text messages. Who cares if they are longer than 40 chars, they will just wrap to the next line. There is no issue with the system messages.

Below is Quoted from http://www.classictw.com "sysop discussion"

Right. But what I was thinking is that Rick could probably very easily create a simple WG module that would act as an interface with TWGS, a sort of go-between that would then pass on commands to TWGS in a way that it understands ...
