Although I've never personally used it for this purpose, but I know of someone else that had a problem because they unintentionally kept saving files in dos format. once you've done ctrl+x, then Y or yes, you can do alt+D to change to dos/ or from dos to unix. Maybe that will help *shrug* GL :smile: :smile: https://smaugmuds.afkmods.com/topic/encountering-bugs-in-afkmud-4514/&p=21381#p21381 Sat, 26 Feb 2011 01:53:02 CST AFKMud Support & Development nobody@example.com (Xerix) https://smaugmuds.afkmods.com/topic/encountering-bugs-in-afkmud-4514/&p=21380#p21380 dos2unix or something like that will convert files to unix formats. https://smaugmuds.afkmods.com/topic/encountering-bugs-in-afkmud-4514/&p=21380#p21380 Fri, 25 Feb 2011 21:12:39 CST AFKMud Support & Development nobody@example.com (InfiniteAxis) https://smaugmuds.afkmods.com/topic/encountering-bugs-in-afkmud-4514/&p=21379#p21379 Oh and almost forgot, the best I could tell on the thing about the help files is that it is probably just extra spaces between the last part and the new line, I remember seeing lots of them over time in help files and a quick editing of the help.dat manually and just removing extra spaces at the end tends to fix the issue. https://smaugmuds.afkmods.com/topic/encountering-bugs-in-afkmud-4514/&p=21379#p21379 Fri, 25 Feb 2011 21:11:52 CST AFKMud Support & Development nobody@example.com (Remcon) https://smaugmuds.afkmods.com/topic/encountering-bugs-in-afkmud-4514/&p=21378#p21378 The ^M is a windows thing and will cause issues, It has been ages so I don't remember the syntax for changing it from windows to unix format. I'm sure someone else can tell you the command though. The copyright symbol is suppose to be used in help.dat because Samson wanted to get away from using ~ and having to change it to - and chang it back etc.... He choose it because it isn't on as a standard button. Copy and paste work great for editing help files manually for that one.

I only use my windows workstation for audio/video editing. I don't plan to deploy to a remote site any time soon. If I can get everything working, I was fancying that I can have it run concurrently with on my foreign server & use ssh tunnel for telnet?.. kinda like 'whistle while you work' in the group :innocent: On a second note, do I need to rm anything like .o's when I recompil https://smaugmuds.afkmods.com/topic/encountering-bugs-in-afkmud-4514/&p=21375#p21375 Fri, 25 Feb 2011 14:26:34 CST AFKMud Support & Development nobody@example.com (ToFue) https://smaugmuds.afkmods.com/topic/encountering-bugs-in-afkmud-4514/&p=21374#p21374 Did you edit anything on a Windows machine before putting on the Linux server? https://smaugmuds.afkmods.com/topic/encountering-bugs-in-afkmud-4514/&p=21374#p21374 Fri, 25 Feb 2011 11:56:37 CST AFKMud Support & Development nobody@example.com (Zeno) https://smaugmuds.afkmods.com/topic/encountering-bugs-in-afkmud-4514/&p=21373#p21373 Hi guys! I'm a fledgling, neophyte programmer-in-learning hopeful & new to this forum. My curiosity has led me to download & compile afkmud, and have a few questions, if its not a bother to anyone.. I suppose that I should share my system details in brief at this point: core2duo toshiba laptop 4gRam ubuntu 10.10 i686 2.6.35-25-generic-pae gcc: 4.4.5 en_us.utf-8, iso gmud client connecting to: localhost:5100 bash, csh, tcsh [color=green] First,[/color] most or half of the in https://smaugmuds.afkmods.com/topic/encountering-bugs-in-afkmud-4514/&p=21373#p21373 Fri, 25 Feb 2011 02:23:08 CST AFKMud Support & Development nobody@example.com (ToFue)
