only to fall under fire on why i'm not giving it away.

thats the biggest problem i run into nowadays, i get scrutinizaed for not giving away modules being worldgroup "is too old" and all.

I'm sure any WG 2.0 sysop's would have no problem paying for such a product (for the old system) in fact I ...

Drex

I have failed to see any info regarding us sysops that are still running WG 2.0, most cases its because of all the modules we have registered over the years thus making the upgrade to WG 3.X not worth it. I dont think it matters to us (Me) if online editting can be done as long as the world can be ...

No idea who?

Drex

I think Rick has to approve all accounts due to spam, or maybe it is shut off at this time? You can try emailing him
questman (AT) themajorbbs(DOT)com

Drex

As the world sits on its heals waiting for a public announcement.

Saw this back from '08 and figured I'd ring in and see what the word is on TA? How's it coming? Years in the making now, is it getting any closer to being released to run on peoples systems?

Thanks!

oh yeah we've had a ...

Drex

Nope that command didnt work - and it would be like looking for a needle in a haystack

maybe Ill just rename the .mdf files.

Running WG2.0 (DOS)setup telnet client to connect to another server, when a user is on the other server it displays on WG online users as "Telnet Client" how can this be changed to say something else ex. "CoolMuD"

Drex

Personally I dont run this... but it would be nice of Rick to pop in once and again.

i dont call it Tele-Arena i call it a Tele-Arena Game Engine.

The above mentioned.

Drex

Wonder if the 2.0 DOS versionis ready too?

Drex

Not sure if a deal was worked out between the 2 parties? We need Ricks feedback on this issue.

So, no, it won't be NT only

Drex

And another thing...came across this website:

http://tdod.org/ether/

Its a TA port made in Java. Are things like this allowed?

that answer is yes and no.

yes you can make a game that looks like another game, and well Sean never copyrighted the name Tele-Arena according to the US registry it ...

Drex

Well finally got this woking, but just a question to anyone who runsWG2.0 - it think i read somewhere that this can be on the same server as worldgroup?(2.0) Anyone run it this way without another box?

Drex

If DSpain wasnt so busy on the TA upgrades, he would be a perfect canidate.

Drex

Thats too bad it sounded very interesting, any chance any part of it is stable enough to release and also and editor with it so Sysop's could work on it?

Drex

You can also check out this link for some modules, some are free and some are pay.

Drex

I use a couple, ZOC or Putty, both work good for me. (using XP and Vista)

Drex

Not an intrest by me, but along these lines you can search the forums about Worldlink.

dspain wrote: yeah i support all platforms with my modules and only limited to wgnt if its the sql stuff.

Cool when can we grab a copy of the new TA?? (WG2.0 DOS)

Drex

Yeah wasnt really meaning the price(s) just what flavour of software its avaible for. As you know Rick has converted some software but its not for all versions (lot of WGNT(3) but was just a thought.

Drex

Might be better to add a little info, for those who don't know.

MBBS - N/A
WG1.0 - N/A
WG2.0 - $20
WGNT - $20

Drex

I pm'd them all to you a few days ago.

Drex

I know there are some ISVs here, and theres that everpresent "who the hell owns all this software?" thing goin on, dunno if that's been resolved or not,

Have you checked your info with the modules that Rick has the rights too?

Drex

Wow great tut. that should be pinned. But I had problems.
[ICMP] closed connection.

I will have to try loading it on the same server as WG and try localhost.

Drex

Have never tried it before... can anyone running WG 2.0 (DOS) confirm this? Still searching for the big white bible (manual)

Drex

Thanks for all the suggestions and help.... altho it is a no go just like when I tried Rlogin.... I'll put it rest like that. Many thanks Ragtop.

Drex

Its a mud server, I can connect to it localhost or via term program such as putty on what ever port I set the mud to connect on. Testers have been able to connect to it no problems (on the port I specify) but testing it with WG i get that error and can't connect...its running on a different server ...

Drex

Thanks for that tip - menu is gone and tries to connect right away, But
[ICMP] closed connection <- would that be meaning the port is not open on remote pc or some other setting in WG.

Drex

Is their a way to force telnet out to a single ip addy with no other options? WG 2.0 DOS flavour.

Drex

Found this on google, not sure if it applies.

DO NOT START MAJORBBS BY RUNNING C:\BBSV6\BBS.BAT. It will initially start but when it loads MajorMUD you'll get a nice red box with an error that says "Out of contiguous selectors!". USE "C:\BBSV6\BBS"!

Tele-Arena Vanilla 1.0

I would say thats kind of personal/private, might be on the Bill of Sale that Rick mentions that can be seen after you sign a no release form.(NDA)

Drex

You can get some from mikes page,

http://www.prowler-pro.com/majorbbs/d-places.html

Also has a utility their to write your own and easy to use.

Do tell, without a recompile of TA to reconize the -L msg file how would that work? As to createa new .mcv for TA?

Drex

I know the new versions are in the works, but its too bad a patch couldn't be made for the wg2.0 DOS version of TA that would increase the lair count from 500 to 700/800.

Drex

Yeah should have noted that was for WG 2.0 (DOS)

Drex

I believe once Questman verifies your system he compiles a new galxxxx.dll which you just copy into you WG directory.

Drex

Haven't seen anything like that, other then a couple utilities from Dialsoft, Line Control and possibly C.O.N.T.R.O.L
Who knows maybe Dan's tinkering with such a utility?

Drex

Or he could be on holidays again ... back to making the suds at the brewery

Oh yeah, backups of my backups lol, found the problem... in copying/pasting some how a bracket was missed } strange it loaded without error other then to X the game..but good to go again, thanks.

Ok I get this while trying to X out of TA, if I'm in town it works, outside town gates I get this error msg.
