GreedMud Release 0.99.7 Wednesday, 7th February 2001 Zen <greedmud@egroups.com> === Introduction GreedMud 0.99.7 is a GreedMud based on Ultra Envy Merc Diku Mud with many enhancements and contributions. See 'contrib.txt' and 'help greed' for acknowledgements. Send me your contribution, and you'll be in there too! Enjoy the mud. May your visit here be ... Profitable. This is the 0.99.7 production release of Greed. P.S.: Is has come to my attention of late that certain people are ripping the code from GreedMud and using it without any reference to GreedMud in the source (or anywhere) whatsoever, IN PARTICULAR the clans code. (You know who you are). I haven't had much time to code on GreedMud lately and this kind of attitude only makes me think that is the right attitude to follow. === Contents of the Release archive Archive files. area Area files. backup Divided into subdirectories for player files (initially empty). clans Clan files. classes Class files. dict Dictionary files. doc Documentation. log Log files (initially empty). mobprog MobPrograms. notes Note files. player Divided into subdirectories for player files (initially empty). src Source files. sys System files. Each directory contains a README file that is designed to explain the contents and purpose of that particular directory. Please READ them! === Support First, read the documentation in the 'doc' directory. I have mostly been keeping the documentation files up-to-date (ahem). Also check the 'wizhelp' command and read the 'help' descriptions for the individual immortal commands. (Immortal commands are considered now and must be edited into playerfiles manually. See 'pfile.txt' for more details) GreedMud has a mailing list, at <greedmud@egroups.com>. Send mail to <greedmud-subscribe@egroups.com> to join the list. When you write, i need to know what kind of machine you're running on. If you can give me specific information about the problem, that helps too. Specific information means: a gdb stack trace (if you're reporting a crash), or a syslog with the relevant commands logged. The player files are ascii files -- dump them into your mail message too. If your e-mail is too vague, i'm likely to bounce it back. There is one of me and hundreds of you -- i simply can't engage in long-distance debugging, on unknown platforms, with the added factor of more code that you've dropped in since the release. Then again, some of the other folks in the mailing-list may be able to help you. Enjoy!
