I picked up a computer today for use as a server for GMUD.
P3 800 mhz, currently with 320 (256+64) megs of RAM (looking for another SDRAM PC133 256 MB chip to use in place of the 64 meg chip, anyone?)
I've got all the software on there (XP, .NET, SQL) and everything seems to be working.? Just need the content now. (nudge DC) ;)
omg...ok fine..ill get it sent this week.
Does this mean we will get some sort of game up and running in a week or so?
Its not far out...alpha.....isnt far out.
This is alpha for 2 seperate prjects..the code and the content...Its not fonna be a omg wow thing....but yes there will be a show for you to watch.
I should be getting a new computer within a month or two, and i got two pc133 sdram 512 meg sticks that i could probably send to you.

Thanks for the offer, we seriously appreciate it. Unfortunately, this mobo won't accept 512 meg chips. :( I had one pc133 512 meg chip myself that I was planning on using, but it was a no go. Luckily I had a 256 meg chip lying around to go with one of the 64 meg chips that came with the box.
I'm considering upgrading the server to another one of my comps my gf is using, and giving her the current server (since she doesn't do any gaming). It's an Athlon XP 2700 I think, and it's already got 1 gig of RAM and a much larger and faster hard drive. That would give us more power and room for expansion than we will probably ever use.
Umm who was it..someone told me they bought out the contents of a computer store...they offered me some stuff..lemme find out who that was.. I'll see if i can fish some stuff off em.

God if this isn't typical DeathCow.
? "You know someone offered us $100,000 for the game creation, but for the life of me I can't figure out who it was."
:lol:
We
NEED more smilies damnit! ;)
Its not my fault...It seemed like something I'd remember...waa.
Ummm just steal all of mudcentrals...they'd love that.

I'd be willing to venture a guess as to why there is a lack of memory...
I dont drink anymore..i stopped....at like 2 am.
SUUUUUUUUUUUUURE ya did... (see pic below......mmmmmmmm The Captain is calling the Cow to come to pasture ;))
Get it right capt. morgan is a low class rum you need to drink appleton its a much better.
TCA
Ah but see I drink captain for 2 bucks for an extra tall at my bar.
See just point me to the liquor store and give me a paper bag?.
TCA
See...I like bars cause at least then drinking is a social thing...rather than just me exercising my inner hatred for myself. :p
That's why I choose wine...when you drink alone it's not self-loathing...it's experiencing a piece of culture.
So...can I see the game tomorrow?
Tommorow I'm smoking aloa pot and playing tetris.
When you defeat tetric THEN can we see the mud?
Grin I'm almost done with everything...my folks have been out of town so I'm spending alota time with my grandma..which means its a little hard to do alota editing. But tonight I am sitting here with my laptop working on some forum upgrades.
I just want to see a mud...doesn't have to be the new version...
Someone needs to take my majormud virginity.
oo oo can I?
Hey DC...can I borrow your code for about 20 minutes?
20 minutes...? Does that include loading time?
No, I don't have a dirty mind. Not me. Nope.
My harddrive runs at 10,000 rpm. load time is not a factor ;)
That's hot.
10,000 Rpms WOW...
Ya know..I am behind more and more everytime I set a goal for myself. I'm not done with what I wanted to finish. But I suppose I can load up what I do have..at least what would make sense to load up. Put it all in a database file for you and then send it. That way you can at least set up..ya know something.. I assume I can just load all the databases into one big file..lemme know if I can't.
What I have is kinda like chunks of a big puzzle..hurm I'll try to get something together...It might be nice if I put some items in the game..that be a nice start.
Hmm... yeah, I could see how items might make things more interesting...? ;)
Yes, all exported to one Access file (.mdb I think).
I wouldn't be upset if we all just walked around naked and weaponless. I just wanna see the game and be reassured that it IS real.
Just put in some temporary items in with out descriptions if you want to just test the engine out but ya I wouldn't mind just seeing what it looks like so far even with out the items.
TCA
hey vitoc...have you added any of the abilities in yet..like learning spells?
and err training.
OK so here be the plan. Vitoc setup up the test server tonight with 'bare' content. We run a test on multiple logins/interactions. After that test is complete, depending on its success <should we encounter errors we will of course fix then redo the same test> I'll get a 100ish room chunk of my work in there. Which will test various room types, my spelling/grammar, various exit types, various ways of rgening NPCs and monsters, maximum monsters per area, and any additional PC interactions that can occur because of the new content.
At the point where these basic tests are passed, then we can focus on adding additional coding and content.
Daily Dose has free wireless.
I'm just saying...
Thats creepy...I was just talking to vitoc and mentioned I might be going there tonight...
grin sounds like a test to me :)

We should hit cofee up for money to hire people to beat up people that bug you for new content a week after this server goes up.
that dude doesnt even have an account on here that i know of.

Keep in mind this is as preliminary as it gets.? ;)

Ugh... that didn't last too long.? Ok, I've programmed at work all day long, and worked on GMUD all night long.? I have to get up early for work tomorrow, so I'm going to hit the sack.? I promise I'll get a more stable version running tomorrow when I get home from work.
Btw, do you know exactly what you were doing when it crashed tca?
Just a suggestion but from a point of debugging if you could set up log that records the actions of players and their current state it might help you along.. The other thing that might help is to have the room show the room/map number or somehting like that so we can tell you exactly the room we were in if the test area gets larger.
The other thing is I had used gos in combat with no items and it worked so it I don't think it was just gos maybe it had something to do with the club... If you didn't get that gos before it crashed then it was due to combat. since I already killed a acid slime with no items then I would think that it was do to combat with items on. Thats about as exact as I can get.

And I'm actually a little grateful for that. The guy comes off as an idiot.
Ok, she's up again (until the next crash).? I've got it in debug mode so I should be able to easily track down any errors.
gmud.dyndns.org
If any errors crash the board, I'll be fixing them immediately and will bring it right back up after doing so.
I have the feeling this is a really stupid question...but I'm getting the "Under Construction" page...

I actually thought of that in the middle of cath lab today...maybe silly questions will be my "thing"
Rofl, dumbass teehee.
Still looking for a 256 MB chip of PC133 RAM (working please ;) ) for the server.? Anyone?? Anyone?
I'll pay up to $10 for it.

$30???
But that's what I spent for the entire server though (which included a 19" monitor mind you) ;)
I got 256 of 3200. Your board won't take that huh?

Nope.? It's a ghetto server.? PC133 :(
Hey Vitoc, if you need a stick of 256 pc133 I just pulled one from one of my old machines. I can send it out to you if you want. If you wanna aim me just ask Milwyn for my aim.
I'm all over that RAM, that is if the offer is still on the table. I will IM Milwyn when I see him at the keys on AIM, or moriendum, if you want to correspond with me here, that's cool too. I really appreciate the offer btw.
I upgraded to a static IP so I can get access through the firewall here at work from home, and I have a few months left on an old domain name I used to use so I'm going to be using that instead of the gmud.dyndns.org. Funny how you forget about domain names until you get an E-mail saying they're going to expire. ;)
