Re: BBS Archive Mirrors

I've got a mirror of major.butt.care.

I couldn't find any actual file repos on BBSCorner.com. The FTP site is active requires a login. I sent them a message asking for access. Do you have access?

BBS Archive Mirrors

I'm doing some collecting of BBS files and came across some archives on the web that are hard to work with. I was wondering if anyone knows of any mirrors for the following sites: ----------- pcorner.com (limited access, 5 files per hour, and 50 per month, requires login + donation for unlimited dow...

Re: Nightmare Redux: Update for 1.11p-WG Almost Complete (?'s)

I want to clarify, you are working on edits for dos version of WG? Cause the NT version is for WG also. Or am I mistaken in my comment. Yes - I went by the MajorMUD file syntax for the different versions. When I say WG, I mean Worldgroup for DOS. The field mappings for v1.11p-WG may work for MajorB...

Re: Nightmare Redux: Update for 1.11p-WG Almost Complete (?'s)

Good news - I have a new version of NMR submitted for a pull with full support for v1.11p-WG and working CharLife. CharLife is only working in the code for v1.11p-WG since I don't have an NT board to test against. Should be really simple to find the byte locations and update the field-map code, thou...

Re: Changing BBS User-ID / Account Names?

OK I have a registered copy of ADV Renamer for WG2 that works. It doesn't change module names. Just the core WG stuff. I did test editing WCCUSERS.DAT after with the new name. Seems to work fine. I should note that this module will tag the old user ID for kill when a user logs in on the old ID *AFTE...

Re: Nightmare Redux: Update for 1.11p-WG Almost Complete (?'s)

Alright, so a quick update. My 1.11p-WG compiled update with a new action actually pushed through successfully. I let the board run for a while and it eventually popped up with the audit notification. I need to test out other edits, but this is good news. I'm still curious about that weird data in t...

Re: Changing BBS User-ID / Account Names?

Thanks Kyau. It wasn't until I started working on the systems-side of WG and MajorMUD that I realized that the BBS user-IDs are the real identifiers and not an id code number (like is standard today). You're right that I would have to change all the names in all the extra modules that I have running...

Re: Nightmare Redux: Update for 1.11p-WG Almost Complete (?'s)

Thanks for the response and info syntax. I've been doing some testing with WG-based update files (full-compiles) and not having much luck getting MajorMUD to recognize my WCCUPDAT.DAT correctly. The DAT file isn't reported as having errors in the audit trail (I've seen that message before but not on...

Nightmare Redux: Update for 1.11p-WG Almost Complete (?'s)

I'm almost finished with my update to Nightmare Redux for compatibility with 1.11p-WG (non-NT). I have all databases working correctly, save for these caveats: WCCUSERS.DAT Because of the nature of this database, it's pointless to attempt any value comparisons with other 1.11p-NT databases to match ...
