so far ive created "The road to silent hill" area.... should have made it a room but i dont know how!!!!!!

what are u using to make the mud?

plus this is the classifieds you need to put your help stuff in the appropriate forum, the Game Development forum.

Tocs is right, we need to know details like what MUD codebase you're using before we can even begin to answer something specific like "auto-reseting".

the codebase is grendelmud i think! i also need some help on making the town! whoever wants to help visit http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download.html and download the windows version for PuTTY at the bottom of the page! than go to http://silenthillbbs.dyndns.org/bbs.htm#teljav and folow the directions on using PuTTY and the address for the MUD is silenthillbbs.dyndns.org port 4444!

i also need to know how to keep the server from auto resetting every minute! pls tell me!!!!!!!

the current races for silent hill bbs is:
1. Pyramid Head
2. Maniquin
3. Native to silent hill
4. Non native to silent hill

my character name is samael and so far ive created the areas:

1. Road to silent hill
2. Woodside apartments
3. Brookhaven hospital

there r no rooms however and i need ppl who know the commands to building to help me! please!

Have you even tried reading the documentation for that codebase?

what? whats that? god im a noob! can somebody just tell me how to stop the MUD server from auto resetting?

AREA_NORESET Do not reset area BV00 1 I found that in the manual on their website apparently for each area its an area flag

i tried that! but it didnt work ill try it again. pls help still! also if u would like to help develop the game and/or help me develop it by giving a list of the useful commands used for building the game pls do.


noreset doesnt work i guess

does anybody know how to build a mud?

does anybody know how to build a mud?

Nobody will help you if you just keep on quipping out short, vague, ambiguous questions. Making a MUD is no small undertaking. You're going to need to take your time, slow down, and read read read. The documentation/manual(s) were created for a reason: to explain how things work. Google is also a key resource, that you can use to acquire yourself even more information.

So please take a moment and think about what you're written in your post before you hit "Submit". :)

how do i get the server back up because i shut it down thinking it would help! btw i did use the AREA_NORESET command! was there another reset flag?

I don't think he heard you. I wonder if he can hear any of us... (Mentok whistle).

Anyhow, I took wee bit of a skim through the manual (I recommend it, it does wonders!). This is only presuming that you are indeed using the Grendel MUD Thingy. Could it be that you have a 'shutdown' command placed somewhere where it shouldn't be. That really could be the only thing I could think of. Otherwise, it's just broken and I recommend either getting a new copy of it or trying something else.

I also recommend that you spend a wee bit more time that 20 sec. to write your post with a full thourough explination of what's going on, what you are doing, what you are using, and what you have tried. This gets the best results, I promise!

Good luck on your ventures!

P.S. The Grendel MUD manual is located here (http://www.grendelproject.nl/manual/). It'll tell you how to do most things, including starting up the server again. Enjoy!

i read the manual but i found nothing on starting up the server again! where is it?! ill try to find it. but pls just in case i dont find the server startup part of the manual, post it here!

This was taken from the manual:

Running

Starting Grendel is simple. Windows users can click on the grendel.exe icon, or open a console window and start the grendel.exe file manually.

Linux users can either start the executable grendel from an automated script or manually from a terminal.
Note

Under Linux Grendel forks to the background by default, to override this and let Grendel write to stdout use grendel -f instead.

If all is well, you should be able to connect to Grendel by using a telnet client to connect to localhost, port 4444.

i can try to start a new sh game since it didnt have much added to it anyway. (i only added a few areas and didnt know how to make rooms)
but i dont know how to actualy log into my new sh MUD! i dont know which client! i dont understand all this copyover crap etc! somebody pls teach me to use this! i read the manual and can barely understand it! i want to create this mud really bad! somebody tell me how to boot my server back up or tell me how to start a new mud using grendel MUD!

oh wait! i was able to connect! thx lots!
hmmmm.... i cant connect to my immortal!
hell im not even connected to silent hill bbs!

sweet Pyramid Head class thoose guys are the coolest but yet i no nothin about muds so sorry...
