This is the README file for the Dystopia 1.2 codebase. Please read all the .txt files located in this folder, most of them contain information which is vital or useful. ** I have threaded the calls to new_descriptor(), this will cause the mud to run two processes, the second one doesn't use any resources, even though it claims to use the same amount of memory as the first (it shares the memory with the first process). There *could* be a slight problem with the threading, but so far I haven't noticed anything strange, and I usually run a rather well-packed mud (playerwise), so I doubt theres any quirks. (just a warning - the main error that could happen is freeing the same memory twice, I'm 99.9% certain that the status_ system prevents this) ** Theres a major lack in help files, it would be nice if someone would take the time to figure out exactly which help files are missing, and either write some of them or just report them to me. ** If you have trouble compiling the codebase, and get a compile error refering to -lz, then you are missing the ZLIB library, and need to get your sysadm to install this first.
