Ascii Pfiles Version 2.1 Version 2.1 is based on stock circle 3.0 bpl 17 and may patch cleanly to other versions. This release is mainly intended to fix bugs and improve portability. If you're not familiar with ascii pfile conversions, this mod will convert circle from using a single binary player file to one ascii file per player. This makes the player files much easier to edit and maintain. It also saves a lot of disk space by only saving the data needed to load the player. This release has the capability to convert an existing binary player file to the new ascii files. It also has the ability to automatically remove players who have not logged in for a specified time. By default it wil remove players just like purgeplay.c normally would, but will do so at each mud boot. This distribution includes windows and non-windows patch files, utility batch files, some simple instructions in the doc directory, and the full modified source files in case you have a totally stock mud and want to just copy the files into your circle src directory. If you're running under windows, read doc/install_win.txt. Otherwise read doc/install_unix.txt. Read doc/using.txt for information on setting up the available options (such as automatic maintenence). WARNING: Windows users, please rename the included patch.bat file to patchsrc.bat. It won't work correctly as is.
