Well, I'll need the DB, but I'll work on getting something set up in the meantime.

Alright, I've got a very temporary database set up at

ADDRESS:  DIVINERIGHT.ORG
PORT:        1050


This isn't going to stick around, but if anyone wants to check out the speed and stuff, you're welcome to it. PTTG, send me that db file.

How much RAM do you have on that shell account? If not much, we probably should have the quota for each player be less than 5mb...

Oh and, the connection to this one is definitely much faster than the one to PTTG's server. On PTTG's server I had delays ranging randomly from 1 to 10 seconds, on this one, its never more than 0.5s.

[Tahin]

The nature of the account is such that if it becomes an issue he'll tell me and I'll do something about it. The machine has around 3 gigs of unused ram at the moment, I believe, and there's no hard limit on usage per user. That said, yes, 5 megs is a lot. I say we cut it down to maybe half of a meg, or something. I'll figure that out at some point.

[Poltifar]

So, what's the ETA for the DB move to the new server? I really want to continue trying some stuff, and cant do so on the current DB on that server because it is neither permanent nor do i have the programmer bit on it.

[Dakk]

Eh, I'll wait till the main database is up again. From now on I'll be textdumping everything I make In case the server goes poof.

[sproingie]

Glad to see there's DNS now, and cool domain at that (for some reason "fishbulb.net" doesn't have the same majesty).  But why not port the old database over?  MOO databases are portable even if you switch servers, as long as the server is the same version or higher.

EDIT: Oh I'm a total dummy.  Nevermind.  Still cool domain name.

[Poltifar]

Meh, still waiting for the database port. After a single afternoon of being on the MOO yesterday, i already feel myself addicted at unhealthy levels.

[Dakk]

Same here. Even if it still lacks real NPCs and any form of combat, character skills and whatnot, its already pretty fun to mess around with the MOO.

[Tahin]

Sorry for the wait. Blame PTTG. Use the fishbulb one for experimentation while I wait for him to send me the db.

[Poltifar]

Did anyone manage to make some sort of NPC before PTTG's MOO went down yesterday? I was trying to make a simple one by following some tutorials, but i didnt have time to complete it... oh well, i'll try it on the fishbulb moo and then dump it on the main moo once it's up.

EDIT: But i need the programmer bit on the fishbulb moo now... damn.

I got an NPC of sorts going that would wander around and say random crap every so often. I made an object that has a while (1<2) loop combined with suspend(1) that activates verbs (essentially creating a heartbeat like some other muds/moos have) and whenever the npc object got its verb triggered by the heartbeat there was a 1/1500 chance of doing each of its actions. Pretty crappy explanation, but you can @audit Bluerobin and check out the heart of the forest's :beat verb and urist's :update verb when PTTG's db is up again.

[Poltifar]

Sproingie, if the wikifirmament moo is not up soon, could you please give me (Poltifar) the progbit on your fishbulb moo?

[PTTG??]

Here you go.

[Tahin]

Okay, two problems, only one of which I wasn't able to figure out.

1. Dirty windows file formats
2. This is an old db. You probably want to upload Outcore.db.new or something.

Also it took so long to get back because I was in the hellmoo senate meeting trying to pay attention.

Oh, also I'm going to have to reset all the passwords, so if anyone would like to request a custom, secure password please email me at tahin23@gmail.com. Otherwise I'll set your password to 12345 or something and anyone could hijack your account. Sorry about that. Differences between Windows and Unix.

Tsh, we could just send you a forum PM, like I did because Gmail is being bitchy today.
