tbaMUD Continued development of the CircleMUD core

Who wouldn't want a MUD on a thumdrive they can run from any computer!?!

Dare asked me about running tbaMUD on a thumb drive. I had never tried this so I did a bit of research and did not find a simple linux solution. There are a few websites that offer ubuntu desktop like penlinux.com but the ubuntu server install failed. I thought about VMWare, but I didn't want a complex solution so I fell back on my old faithful Cygwin.

The instructions are simple. Just go to www.cygwin.com and run their setup.exe. Install from Internet, choose your thumbdrive as the installation directory, leave default package directiory, leave default direct connection, and choose a mirror. When you get to the "select packages" section you do have to expand the devel group and add: "gcc-core C compiler" the "make: the GNU version of the make utility" and "subversion: a version control system" To add a package just click where it says "skip" and it will change to the current version number available.

You can rerun setup.exe at any time to add other packages like patchutils, etc.

Now open cygwin.bat from the thumbdrive, change directory to you thumbdrive (cd f: for me) and checkout the latest tbamud:

svn checkout http://tbamud.com/svn/circlemud/circlemud tbamud
(alternatively you can just download and uncompress tbamud-#.tgz from tbamud.com)

Checkout takes a while once complete:

cd tbamud
./configure
(wait for it, once complete)
cd src
make (q then enter to dismiss the license, wait for it again, once complete)
cd ..
bin/circle

Then point your MUD client of choice to localhost port 4000.

That is it. I was a bit disappointed with the speed. I haven't compiled a MUD that slowly in a decade, but it may just be my ancient thumbdrive. It is a sacrifice to be expected for portability.

Total time required: 2 hours (can you do better?)
It used 422MB on my 2GB thumb drive.

Please post in the comments below of your success, failures, and install time from thumb drive insert to tbaMUD login.

Download tbaMUD 3.61 or the patch at http://tbamud.com

More bug fixes, new areas command for players and an impoved idea, bug, typo command.

**WARNING** The new idea, bug, typo code will overwrite your existing idea, bug, and typo files. So make a backup or rename them if you add this code to your existing MUD.

Below is an example of how you can add/modify a mob flag. After initially creating a new NOKILL flag I changed my mind and instead renamed NOBASH to NOKILL and added checks to prevent attacking and spell casting. The only thing I left out was protection from triggers.

 /* To make an affect induced by dg_affect look correct on 'stat' we need to

This question has come up a couple times lately so I decided to post it here to direct people as needed.

Players and mobs (NPC's) share many of the same data fields, but not all. So when a mob tries to access player data it gives a SYSERR like this:
SYSERR: Mob using >'((ch)-)player_specials-)saved.pref)' at act.wizard.c:127

The fix is actually a very easy one. All you have to do is make sure it only checks player data if it is a player. The way this is done in the code is with a non-player-character check. Now non-player-character (NPC) means it is a mob. So you need a double negative to make sure it is not a non-player-character. I know this is confusing, but just copy the example below.

- if (PRF_FLAGGED(ch, PRF_NOREPEAT)) // This line should be removed, hence the "-"
+ if (!IS_NPC(ch) && PRF_FLAGGED(ch, PRF_NOREPEAT)) // This line should be added without the "+"

The changed line now will not just check for a flag, instead it will check if it is a player (not an NPC) and it is flagged then continue.

I hope this helps and please report these (and any other bugs/SYSERR's) you find. I've corrected dozens of these and they keep cropping up, especially when you switch into a mob and try player commands.

More bug fixes, new prefedit and all the auto options including the new autodoor. Thanks again to Jamdog for the majority of the work this release! For the full tbaMUD changelog check out: http://www.tbamud.com/files/changelog.txt

I am feeling a bit old. My first website host is shutting down. Geocities.com (bought out by Yahoo last century! yeah 1999) has been hosting TBA's builder application for almost 10 years. Alas, we must move on. Besides, geocities has always been the Fiat of the web hosting services anyways. But it was one of the first major hurdles to user generated content that setup the future of Web 2.0. I digress. So TBA needs a new builder application. After a bit of thought I decided to try Survey Monkey. They seem to be the standard these days and I liked their interface. Feel free to test it out at the redirected URL:
http://tbamud.com/builderapplication.

Thanks to sedition for contributing this common addition:
http://www.tbamud.com/Oasis_DG_pages/downloads/patches/contrib/3.59-ordi...

I am moving once again and will be in and out of TBA depending on my Internet connectivity. This time it is from the east coast to the west coast, wish me luck. As usual Shamra, Jamdog, and Fizban will handle things in my absence. If the server has any issues email Welcor and Rumble at our tbamud.com addresses.

Don't burn the place down.
