Ok, so can someone please explain to me how you can check to see wether or not a particular auxiliary data is true or false? I've been pulling my hair out all...
... A good thing to remember is that auxiliary data is rarely a primitive type (e.g. boolean, integer, character, array). Most often, it is a structure of some...
... I just finished writing code that will allow this to be done for descriptions. So, here's an example room desc from a mud I'm working on. Note that "ite"...

Here are my suggestions for future versions of NakedMud: #1:I've always hated the concept of vnum's in a mud, everything should be named. You could have named...

... Indeed. I've already completed this, and it will be ready for the next version (~2-3 months from now). For the vnum enthusiasts, I'd like to point out that...
... Did you want to hook it into the existing IMC network? I seem to recall a big argument going down somewhere (possibly the mudconnector forums?) over...
Ok this is sort of how I've envisioned intermud networking working: Have each object and player, have specific places for variables, but let the variables mean...

Hey all, I just thought I'd inform you all on where I'm at. I'd say I'm about 80% done the new version (3.0). I should be 100% done in a month or so - right on...

... I don't think this would be such a good idea. Correct me if I'm wrong but the pulses are what control rooms/objs/mobs etc resetting. So if someone logs on ...

I'm not entirely sure if this is how it works, but when I did this on SocketMud, if you set it to 1, the mud would respond more slowly than if you set it to a...

Looking at the code, it appears to me that the pulses is used to control how many times per second the game loop executes.. so if you set it to 1 and type in...

What about watching load averages, and trying to estimate the impact the mud is having on the server, and having it be able to step up or down the pulses, and...

Well, why not handle it the way some unix shells handle it? In some shells, you can use the tab key to autocomplete a partially-typed command. If there is more...
I don't see a problem with not having auto-completion on room or zone commands, if that is the easiest solution. My experience is that room specific commands...
Probably the best way to achieve this would be to use global aliases that would override those settings. I've always kept a global alias index that resolved...
I would say, make the auto-completes a flag for each zone, and room, that can override if set.. so have 3 states for each zone and room: #1:None (use default...
