If at any point you have problems with these directions, post the exact problem and errors on http://lpmuds.net/forum How to install Skylib for windows: 1) Uncompress this package and move/rename the folder so that the folders like bin and mudlib are in c:\skylib 2) Use wordpad to edit c:\skylib\bin\config.win32 and change the mudname 3) Double-click on c:\skylib\win32\mud.bat 4) telnet to localhost 8000 5) Login using the following information: - login : default - password : password NOTE: Note that before you put the mud on the net, you will want to demote or at least change the password of this character. The best way would be to log in with another character, promote them with "securitytool", and put them in the "admin" domain, effectively making them an admin. After that it is safe to demote "default". If you do not follow the instructions above, the chances are good that someone else will log in and take over your mud. 6) Review the information in the README, read the docs, play with your new mud, and have fun! If you have problems, post them in the Skylib area of http://lpmuds.net/forum Note: The Windows port is experimental and does not support databases, external commands, nor compressed data.
