Hi, I really appreciate all the effort put into delivering a way for novices like me to start up their own mud for practice.

First of all, on this link:
http://www.gammon.com.au/smaug/howtocompile.htm#make

The instructions are given as such:

# Shutdown the MUD by typing in (to your client program):

shutdown mud now

# Back at the Cygwin window, move back to the src directory:

$ cd ../src

However, because I have just loaded SWRFUSS (from this site) instead of smaug, there is no premade Admin character as you had done in SMAUG (Lordrom, I believe) and therefore I cant login and shutdown the mud to begin making the necessary changes. How and or where do I establish a Admin char I can log into that will let me have these controls?

Thanks again

I would recommend using SWR FUSS, as I think that comes with an Admin char.

How would I check what it is? What file is it under? I checked Gods and nothing showed.

Ah you are using FUSS. Last I checked, it was:
User: Admin
Pass: admin

Make sure you have the latest version from http://www.smaugmuds.org/

If that doesn't work, create a new char, save, quit and then edit the pfile up to the Imm level.

Fantastic. I just did the shutdown. Thanks. I do have another question regarding a comment you made about the "latest version of SWRfuss". I downloaded the one from this site.

1: Once a directory in Cygwin has been created and filled with the MUD (compiled and run), as I have already done, if I ever want to delete the directory to reinstall the latest version, what should I do? What are the commands in Cygwin to reverse this process?

Delete everything you mean? Including all player files etc?

In the shell, go to a level above it (eg. your home directory) and type:


rm -rf smaug

(Or whatever the exact directory name is).

The -r switch says to recurse, so it deletes all subdirectories. The -f switch forces the deletion of files it might not otherwise delete.

Use with caution, a slipup here could delete more than you expect.
