Hello everyone i seem to have been out of the game to long seeing that i have been trying to start this code that i have extracted but cannot find the exe file even though i am certain it should be in the src or system folder but i seem to have failed in finding it and i need someones help either in pointing me to where it would be in a swrots code ot helping me to find a snippit or something so i can try and get this mud up and running mostly for me and my roommates but i am learning how to code and have some of the basics down but think it would be easier to learn if as im reading these darn books if i could implament some of the ideas and see how this stuff is done…I have the code, crimson editor and cygwin so if anyone could lend me a bit of there mind i would be most greatfull

If you're running in *nix, there is no .exe file. There's an exec, but it doesn't have ".exe" in it.

I'm going to take a wild guess that "swrots" is a SW ROT codebase, in which case the file would likely be in the /area directory. Also, it likely doesn't have an .exe suffix. Look for a file simply called 'rot' or 'swrot'.

can't find rot or swrot, See the last mud i ran was wolfpaw and this time i was going with a wolfpaw from the repos but i would have had to change all the race and class over but this one all i have to do is modify them but then i ran into i can't get it started lol
