Message: "(Name Not Set) ready"

Frequently asked question — SMAUG server

Question

When I start the server it says "(Name Not Set) ready at address (my computer) on port 4000.". How do I set the name?

Answer

Edit the file system\sysdata.dat (using Notepad or another text editor) and change the line: 

MudName     (Name Not Set)~

Make sure you keep the trailing tilde character (~).

eg. You could change it to: 

MudName     Nick's MUD~
