Heh, this answer is easy: Smart newbie will answer question of talkative newbie thus slowly advancing to very smart newbie and finally to no-longer newbie who will get access to the advanced newsgroup as newbie again ;). Cat. Ob circle: Don't patch but put in line by line of the code yourself this will save you time on average. Use revision control (cvs) to undo changes that cause your mud to crash and retrieve previous stable versions of sourcecode. Do a 'cvs diff' to check the changes a coder made since the last stable version. CVS is as essential as gdb for a good MUD, as free as gcc and extremely simple to use. +-----------------------------------------------------------+ | Ensure that you have read the CircleMUD Mailing List FAQ: | | http://cspo.queensu.ca/~fletcher/Circle/list_faq.html | +-----------------------------------------------------------+
