Make sure that you do a backup of your database and MUF before upgrading to any new version of the server. The server seems stable, when I release it, but that doesn't mean that it won't eat up all of your database, spit out garbage, and nuke everything. It just means that I haven't SEEN it do that in my testing. Occasionally I miss big errors, and your only protection, until I can get a fixed version out, is to have backups. Make backups regularly, and keep one a few weeks old, in case an insidious error creeps in and corrupts your db over time. I can't say it enough... BACK UP YOUR DB. - Foxen Additional note: Don't just back up your db file (the one that is usually passed as the parameter to -out to fbmuck) -- you must also back up the muf/ directory, usually game/muf/*. Otherwise, your database will be incomplete, because the actual MUF program text is stored outside of the normal database. - Winged
