Somebody reported this to me as an OLC+ bug, but it is a stock bpl14 bug.
Typing version at any time will crash the MUD. The string functions
working with circlemud_version cause the crash.
The fix is to change the constants.h line :
extern const char *circlemud_version;
to
cpp_extern const char circlemud_version[];
The latter is how it is defined in constants.c. I haven't tested this
beyond "version" working now, but, well, it should work. :P
-- Side note to OLC+ users --
Also, for OLC+ users, get the social_editor.BUGFIX file (it is a patch)
from ftp.circlemud.org/pub/CircleMUD/contrib/olc or
ftp.van.ml.org/pub/CircleMUD/contrib/olc because I forgot to put it in,
and it causes boards not to work after a social is added. Sorry.
I would put up a new patch, but why re-invent the wheel. Maybe Del
Minturn will put the fixed version on his page (which seems to have become
the OLC+ site. :P)
Thanks to all,
-B.
