Installation for Rom -------------------- 1. In your Makefile, above the list of O_FILES, include the following: #IMC2 - Comment out to disable IMC2 support IMC = 1 Then directly below the list of O_FILES, add the following: [Note: BSD users - put a period in front of the word ifdef, and in front of the word endif] ifdef IMC O_FILES := imc.o sha256.o $(O_FILES) C_FLAGS := $(C_FLAGS) -DIMC -DIMCROM endif 2. Open merc.h and locate the following code: #define IMPLEMENTOR MAX_LEVEL #define CREATOR (MAX_LEVEL - 1) #define SUPREME (MAX_LEVEL - 2) #define DEITY (MAX_LEVEL - 3) #define GOD (MAX_LEVEL - 4) #define IMMORTAL (MAX_LEVEL - 5) #define DEMI (MAX_LEVEL - 6) #define ANGEL (MAX_LEVEL - 7) #define AVATAR (MAX_LEVEL - 8) #define HERO LEVEL_HERO Directly below that, add the following: #ifdef IMC #include "imc.h" #endif 3. Locate your pc_data struct, which should be in one of your main *.h files. Add the following to the end of it: #ifdef IMC IMC_CHARDATA *imcchardata; #endif 4. Open interp.c and locate the following section: if ( !check_social( ch, command, argument ) Add the following condition to whatever series of ifchecks exist there: #ifdef IMC && !imc_command_hook( ch, command, argument ) #endif 5. Open comm.c and locate the following in main() : If your mud uses copyover, at the top of main(), below: struct timeval now_time; bool fCopyOver = !TRUE; Add: #ifdef IMC int imcsocket = -1; #endif A. If your mud uses copyover/hotboot, find this section( it may not look EXACTLY like this, adjust as needed ): If your mud does NOT use copyover/hotboot, move to B. if( argv[2] && argv[2][0] ) { fCopyOver = TRUE; control = atoi( argv[3] ); } else fCopyOver = FALSE; Change it to read as( while adjusting as needed ): if( argv[2] && argv[2][0] ) { fCopyOver = TRUE; control = atoi( argv[3] ); #ifdef IMC imcsocket = atoi( argv[4] ); #endif } else fCopyOver = FALSE; This next part is somewhat tricky. If copyover_recover is called in db.c as is the usual case in most default installs, you need to place the following BEFORE the boot_db call. If it is listed somewhere here in comm.c, the following needs to be placed ABOVE it. Either way, imc_startup needs to be called BEFORE copyover_recover or your mud WILL crash every time you do a copyover. #ifdef IMC /* Initialize and connect to IMC2 */ imc_startup( FALSE, imcsocket, fCopyOver ); #endif B. If your mud is NOT using copyover/hotboot: Locate the following: #if defined(unix) control = init_socket( port ); boot_db( ); sprintf( log_buf, "ROM is ready to rock on port %d.", port ); log_string( log_buf ); Add the following beneath that: #ifdef IMC imc_startup( FALSE, -1, FALSE ); #endif C. ALL MUDS CONTINUE HERE: Then further down in main(), locate the following: close( control ); Add the following beneath that: #ifdef IMC imc_shutdown( FALSE ); #endif Then in game_loop_unix(), locate the following: /* * Autonomous game motion. */ update_handler( ); Directly ABOVE that, add the following: #ifdef IMC imc_loop(); #endif 6. Open save.c and locate fread_char: In the case 'I': section, and right before the final break; add the follwing: #ifdef IMC if( ( fMatch = imc_loadchar( ch, fp, word ) ) ) break; #endif Then in fwrite_char, locate: fprintf( fp, "End\n\n" ); Directly ABOVE that, add: #ifdef IMC imc_savechar( ch, fp ); #endif Then in load_char_obj(), locate the following: found = FALSE; fclose( fpReserve ); #if defined(unix) /* decompress if .gz file exists */ Directly ABOVE that, add the following: #ifdef IMC imc_initchar( ch ); #endif 7. Open recycle.c Locate free_char: After this block of code: free_string(ch->name); free_string(ch->short_descr); free_string(ch->long_descr); free_string(ch->description); free_string(ch->prompt); free_string(ch->prefix); free_note (ch->pnote); Add: #ifdef IMC imc_freechardata( ch ); #endif 8. For users of copyover/hotboot ONLY: Locate do_copyover. In the variable declarations, add another bufX[100], where X is the next number in line. Then just before the buffers for the execl call are allocated, add the following: #ifdef IMC imc_hotboot(); #endif Then right before the execl call, add the following, where X is the same number in the new declaration you just made: #ifdef IMC if( this_imcmud ) snprintf( bufX, 100, "%d", this_imcmud->desc ); else strncpy( bufX, "-1", 100 ); #else strncpy( bufX, "-1", 100 ); #endif Then you need to add your new buffer to the execl call. So if you have this: execl( EXE_FILE, "smaug", buf, "hotboot", buf2, buf3, (char *)NULL ); It needs to become: execl( EXE_FILE, "smaug", buf, "hotboot", buf2, buf3, bufX, (char *)NULL ); Again being sure to change "X" to the right number. Keep in mind copyover implementations vary widely among muds and you may need to make some additional adjustments. 8b: Ember 0.99.4a ONLY: In imc.c, remove the #include segment for tables.h 8c: Sunder 1.0 ONLY: In imc.c, remove the #include statement for tables.h from the #ifdef IMCROM section, this file is not in the Sundermud distro. Return to the main IMC.txt file and continue where you left off.
