AmiMUD 3.6

Sui_Generis · 11 March 2018, 20:13

Evening everyone,

I'm on a quest for AmiMUD 3.6 and a keyfile (though I think I may have a keyfile and/or keyfile maker, but I have no idea if the file isn't working or if I'm putting it in the wrong place!).

I have fond memories of spending many hours playing the Nilgiri MUD (which seems to be dead now

) via Hyperterminal as an early teen, would love to get back into MUDing via the Amiga.

Any help is always appreciated, still very much an Amiga n00b.

Nice quest. It seemed for a moment the Wayback Machine has version 3.6:

https://web.archive.org/web/20070624...terfree.it:80/

But when downloading the link a quick glance at the guide shows it is actually 3.5 (same as on Aminet).

Datestamp of the executable is different though, so might be worth checking out.

A bit offtopic. Years ago I received a beta MUD client from RobinC (Rycochet Software). I remember it was really good, but I don't have it in my archives anymore

Perhaps I should initiate my own quest for that

I believe it was called RMUD...

EDIT: seems the Wayback Machine actually has the 3.6 version!

Code:

6.Ram Disk:AmiMUD> version AmiMUD file full
AmiMUD 3.6 (05/05/2001)

About your keyfile request. SnoopDOS would tell you it searches for it in S:

Not sure if it's allowed to upload the keyfile to The Zone? Perhaps try emailing the author first?

Mods, please advice.

Amiga68k, you Sir, are a God amongst men..and squirrels.

Now for that keyfile...or what to do with the keyfile I have.

::EDIT::
Well if it looks in S, S is where I shall place it! Please hold...shenanigans are afoot.

::EDIT EDIT::
*manic laughter* It's alive...IT'S ALIVE!!!! DNS error is because I still haven't quite figured out how to make networking work in FS-UAE

But this is superb progress!

::EDIT EDIT EDIT::
That is way too many edits...but it works, properly works! The DNS error wasn't because networking in FS-UAE didn't work, it was because it was trying to connect to a long-dead MUD.
Once I aimed it at Sindome it fired straight up.

Now just to do something about that ghastly colour scheme.
