Welcome to AwakeMUD - The first Shadowrun-based Diku Public Codebase.
The game mechanics are set to work according to the Shadowrun Second
Edition rules.

Basically this version of AwakeMUD is works on these known systems:

IMPORTANT -- There is a bug in 0.6 auto_pwipe function, that causes all
players who are older than 30 days to get deleted even if recently logged
on.  Immortals are not effected.  Its a bad bug.

To disable it, look for a line in config.cc that says:
int auto_pwipe = YES;

and change YES to NO.
This will disable the buggy function.

Requirements:
32 MB RAM
50 MB hard disk space
C/C++ Development Libraries

Red Hat 5.1-2, 6.x
Mandrake 6.x, 7.x 
SuSE 6.x
Debian 2.1, 2.2, woody, sid
Slackware 7, using kernel 2.4.x (my home box)
Cygwin Win32, with gcc 2.95.2 or later:
Minor changes in comm.cc (the comments will show you where) are required
under this environment with 0.51, 0.6 needs no changes, except the use of
Makefile.cygwin as your Makefile.
I am pretty sure it will run on Slackware 7+ any kernel version... but you
never can be sure...
FreeBSD, when using gnu make
(might have to make some hacks.  AwakeMUD originally ran on FreeBSD 3.?
however, it moved to a linux box and was modified a bit.)

Also compiles on SunOS/solaris

The autorun script is designed to run AwakeMUD under gdb for debugging purposes.
Changes to the script can be made easily to disable this.

The /doc/CircleMUD3 folder is set aside to store the original Circle MUD 3.0
Documents that came with the version of Circle 3 that AwakeMUD is based on.
 
Anywho, I am gonna work my ass off to make sure this thing stays well
documented.  Don't blame me for the code being commented poorly however, as
that was the coders' work not mine.





To start the mud:

Under UNIX and UNIX-like systems (like Linux/BSD/etc)
cd ~/awake-dir/src
make
cd ..
./autorun &

Under Cygwin/Win32:
cd ~/awake-dir/src
mv Makefile Makefile.nix
mv Makefile.cygwin Makefile
(modify comm.cc following comments instructions under 0.51, no changes under
0.6 Beta)
make
cd ..
./winrun.csh &
