Actually, this is doable. For the file-exists? support, do an 'fsize' on a file. If it comes back -1, the file doesn't exist. ( I realize that's not...
Greetings, I just joined this group because I am a Wiz helping to build a new MUCK using ProtoMUCK 1.81b3 (Muck2.2fb6.00rc9 -- Neon2.17). I like to set all the...
That feature -might- have been removed accidentally. I can't think of any other way it would be toggled. You might want to file it on the sourceforge site as a...
Actually, setting an exit DARK actually is meant to hide the exit from the exits listing not make it quiet to go through the exit. I know this because that is...
... Setting an exit Dark has been the standard way to supress the default messages in Fuzzball all along and in fact, the helpfiles on the Dark flag in...
I honestly do not know how the decision was made in neonmuck, but I can see this sort of a difference occurring. See, look programs work differently in both...
Was dinking around with lsedit and noticed the new .ansi command. It worked fine until I went to save the list then I got this error Programmer Error. Please...
... This is also what we use on Furscape (which migrated from a GlowMUCK database). My own ZoLook.MUF doesn't show exits, we leave that to the external...

I like your previous suggestion of using the Q (or similar) flag to surpress the messages. I've never been fond of the fact that FuzzBall uses the DARK flag,...

IMNSHO the new function header syntax is a Good Thing (tm), however there is one caveat. ... The second definition will work. The first one will give you...
Okay, first I'd like to comment on the documents for try/catch/endcatch. The documents state that try locks the given number of stack items (preventing use of...
That's definately a bug. Nothing should ever be returning unknown stack types like that. If you could post this to the bug tracker on the ProtoMUCK sourceforce...

Yeah. I don't think it should require that space to be there either. File it as a bug report so it can get looked into. -Akari ... ...
Check your status log, your protomuck.err log, and your ttyerr.log in the game/logs directory. Any 'database corruption' problems that are detected during load...
I've reported this in the bug tracker already. It appears that you cannot use MUF to set or reset the QUELL flag on any object (using "Q" set) -- you get a...
Actually it just says LOAD: proto.db in the logs... In any case, I took a diff against a good database and manually redid all the changes using the diff as a...
Perhaps maybe you could explain the changes you had to make so as we could attempt to fix the problem directly in Proto's code. It really shouldn't just...
