Option #1 (Partial Reset)
If you wish to reset all of the users on your board while maintaining the current map environment, you must follow these steps.
- shutdown board
- backup entire board (always ... just in case)
- delete wccuser2.dat, wccgang2.dat, wccbank2.dat, and wccitow2.dat
- replace all of those files with their respected .vir files.
so copy wccuser2.vir to wccuser2.dat, wccgang2.vir to wccgang2.dat, etc. Note: if you don't have any .vir files, or need to get fresh ones; Go to your majormud install directory (the one with the setup.exe) and run: "icomp -d wccmmud.z FILENAME" (ex. "icomp -d wccmmud.z wccuser2.vir"). - remove all items from all rooms (wccmmutl.exe)
- run an offline recovery (wccmmutl.exe)
- start up board with lines closed (disable telnet server or change # lines to 0 and log in via console, or disable port forwarding, unplug cable, etc)
- execute the C option from the majormud sysop menu
- execute the CP option from the majormud sysop menu
- Choose R to re-index the limited items from the sysop menu
