Now i downloaded the StarWarssce.zip from your downloads section. Now how do i compile the code. I just begun to try and learn C so im new at this. I just want to know what file to open to compile the .exe.
And i also have everythging else needed. The area files and the clans and all that. Am i able to play a mud on my comp with areas and stuff just like if i was online?

Open the smaug.dsp file (project file).

Yes, you can run it locally, just connect to 127.0.0.1 (localhost).

Ok. I compiled it all and everything was going fine. Put when i type in telnet://127.0.0.1:4000 it restarts my computer. Does anyone know whats wrong?

Sounds like an access violation (bug in the code) which could be almost anything. Quite possibly a bug in the area file. Try running the area files through the Area Editor (available at this site) and checking for warnings.

Also try doing a "debug" build in MSVC++ and doing a debug execute. That might show the line that is causing the problem.

Odd. I didn't do anything you said and now it started to work. I didn't even check the forum yet. lol
