Mythran Mud release 3.1.11 Mon Mar 10, 1997 This file was written by: Mark Janssen Maniac (mark@delftnet.nl) Jeroen v/d Maat Canth (canth@xs4all.nl) Mythran Mud Staff: mythran@envy.com Instructions for Installation: 1. Download the archive from ftp.game.org in the directory /pub/mud/diku/merc/envy/mythran/mythran.tar.gz or from http://www.delftnet.nl/~mark/mythran 2. Extract the archive with the command: tar -zxvf mythran.tar.gz or (if you have an older version of tar) gunzip -c mythran.tar.gz | tar -xvf - 3. Change to the mythran3/src directory and edit config.h to suit your personal preferences. 4. Link the apropriate makefile with 'Makefile' (see README in the src directory for descriptions) 5. Compile Mythran, with the command 'make' 6. If something goes wrong during compilation, please mail mythran@envy.com, with a description of your system and a copy of the errors and warnings generated by make. 7. Start 'startup &' to startup the mud. 8. Telnet to 'localhost 1234' and login as 'Mythran' with password 'godchar'. This character has the highest possible power. 9. Next, login with a new character and use Mythran to advance him to level 53. Next give your character the imtlset skill by typing 'imtlset <your player> +imtlset', then advance him to level 54. 10. With your new character you can now type 'imtlset self +all' to give yourself all the commands and skills. You can now delete the mythran player by typing 'delete' twice. NOTE: do NOT leave this character, it is shipped with the mythran distribution, so everyone who read this document knows about the character and can use him to break into your mud. 11. If all works well, you can now change the various help entries, like motd, imotd, welcome, policy, news, changes etc and open your mud to the public. 12. Don't forget to send a note to mythran@envy.com saying you are using the mythran mud code as a code base for your mud. We can then add you to our list of mythran sites. Please send all bug-reports, comments, ideas, questions, snippets, areas, or whatever you want to tell the mythran staff to mythran@envy.com
