----------------------------------------------------------------------------- A little guid to install the TMI Mudlib (MsDos version) on your machine. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- OKidoki... Here is some tips how to install a working MudOS mud on your PC. First you need the archives needed, TMI-RUN.EXE (Mudlib) and OK0916.EXE (Driver). Theese can be obtained by anonymous ftp to ftp.ccs.northeastern.edu. Once you have them you can start installing them. First you want to decide the directory you want to have the mud in, i will hereforth assume you want it in C:\LPMUD but you can change it to whatever you want. First make the LPMUD and a TMP directory by doing: mkdir C:\LPMUD mkdir C:\TMP The TMP will later on contain swap files that the Mud Driver creates. Now we want to move into the directory LPMUD. cd LPMUD Ok.. Now we want to create a subdirectory called BIN. mkdir BIN Now when this is done we need to fix a little thing. The driver needs a file to be able to controll the serial lines. This file must be called LINES. So just do : edit LINES put in a few blanksteps and then save it and quit. Ok.. Now move the OK0916.EXE archive to C:\LPMUD\BIN and the TMI-RUN.EXE to C:\LPMUD by using copy, move or your favourite utility (Norton commander :) Now we want to begin the actual extracting. Move to BIN (cd BIN) and type: OK0916 This will start the extracting of the driver. When it is done we want to create a nifty batch file to start the mud with. Edit a file LPMUD.BAT by using : edit LPMUD.BAT This file should contain: PATH c:\;c:\dos;c:\lpmud\bin set GO32TMP=C:/tmp set GO32=emu c:/lpmud/bin/emu387 set SERIAL=c:/lpmud/lines set HOME=c:/ c:\LPMUD\BIN\OK_MUDOS config Config.sys must contain share too.. plus that some memory managers can mess things up. Check OK0916.DOC for exact information. Now go to C:\LPMUD (cd C:\LPMUD) and type this: TMI-RUN -d Now it will unpack the whole TMI lib into a directory called TMI-2. Now we want to substitute the "old" config file in C:\LPMUD\BIN to the new one for the TMI lib. Just do a : copy C:\LPMUD\TMI-2\ADM\ETC\config C:\LPMUD\BIN\config Ok.. now we have only one small thing to do. Fix a bug in the Lib (Or if it is in the driver. =). do this: cd C:\LPMUD\TMI-2\ADM\DAEMONS edit banish.c at line 11 it reads: restore_object(SAVEF); this should be substituted with : catch(restore_object(SAVEF)); This won't exactly remove the bug, but it will bypass it, allowing you to login. =) Ok.. this is all i had to do to make it work. If you get any more problems or manages to fix bugs, post a note at TMI-2 (129.10.10.32 5555) or mail me. SA215@UTB.SHV.HB.SE. Henrik Bengtsson, aka Megadeath@TMI
