This is the 1.2b Cold Dark Core. Changes are minor and primarily costmetic to fix a few bugs. ------ This release is not complete. It is produced only so there will be a working core with the ColdX-0.1 driver. Build the textdump by typing 'makeworld'. To run it make sure the directory exists in the ColdX driver source directory (alongside world/), set the COLD_DIR environment variable to the base ColdX driver directory and execute the shell script 'coldstart' with the first argument being the location of the ColdX driver executable. For instance, if the ColdX driver source was in: /usr/local/ColdX-0.1-0 And the ColdX binary was in: /usr/local/ColdX-0.1-0/bin You would set the COLD_DIR environment variable to "/usr/local/ColdX-0.1-0", and execute coldstart via: coldstart /usr/local/ColdX-0.1-0/bin/ColdX-0.1-0 ------ Projects which are unfinished but work: Help system Message system Ctext Projects which are unfinished: Commands Command Environment Projects which should work, but have not been debugged: Mail ------ Items you can expect to be in later cores: * Editor ------ Notes on using this core: * The login port is 1138 * Change the new user class to $programmer (from $admin) with: `eval $sys.set_starting('new_user_class, $programmer);` * The web and finger daemons start up automatically along with the backdoor. The backdoor is a secret admin way of sneaking around almost all normal connection methods (it has its own code). It requires connections from specific addresses as well as a three password validation (1 user password and 2 system passwords). ------ If you have any questions or wish to help in the development of the Cold Dark Core, connect to the Cold Dark at: http://recumbent.declab.usu.edu:1180/ The mailing list for Cold Dark Core development and any items relating to the Cold Dark is: tcd@tiny.mcs.usu.edu To get onto the list email: majordomo@tiny.mcs.usu.edu With 'subscribe tcd' in your body (to get off the list email with 'unsubscribe tcd').
