| Hello, I am having trouble getting the SWR MUD code for Windows to work. I feel that I might be doing things completely wrong, and I could still be doing it wrong 10 years from now. I was wondering if you could tell me which files I need from your site (FTP?), and possibly help to point me in the right direction as far as file positioning goes. That would be a great help to me. Thanks in advance.

| Thank you for responding so quickly. I have taken your advice and downloaded the tgz that you described. What I have been trying to do is to place the executable from the StarWars_W32Binary archive file into either the src directory and execute it from the area directory (..\src\StarWarsSmaug or something like that). At this point, it seems to loop forever because of the limbo.are file. (infinite loop over some error). If I try to remove the limbo.are file from the area.lst, there is just an error with space.are (and you can't very well remove that).
I know I have gotten SWR to work under Windows in the past (like, 2 years ago), but I am unable to do it now. I guess my major question now is... what am I doing wrong? Is the executable the wrong file, or do I have it in the wrong place, or am I trying to reach it the wrong way? Please help, because I'm too confused to help myself! | | Top |

| If you have the executable in the src directory, then yeah, you need to call it from the area directory, using what you said, "../src/swr". If your limbo.are is not working, you can try taking it out of another version of SWR, I beleive the areas are interchangeable. If that still doesn't work, you can try running it though gdb to see whats going wrong. Nick has a gdb guide about thats very, very handy, if you search for it you'll find it no problem. If it is infinite looping, use ctrl-c to stop it, and list to see where its getting hung up. That might help you in the code.

| While the objects not existing is not a good things, its not why its not booting. The problem would be this:

Check that line. That looks to be the problem. Have you changed how SWR read/writes area files? If so, that will be the issue. |
