I downloaded a smaug source dist from http://www.mudplanet.org/files/smaug14aSam.tgz and compiled it under cygwin. Very nice, clean compile. Everything seemed to work fine except the areas are not resetting like they should. In fact they don't reset at all. This was first noticed when setting Waitforauth 1 and no admin was online to auth the new user. The user would just sit there forever. There would never be an auto-auth like there should have been. Anyone seen this before? I had to go back to an earlier source dist to get things going, but I'd like to use the newer source that compiles clean if I can.
Strange problem...

I thought that if they had to wait for auth, then they waited until an admin did it, and if none were on they would have a long wait.
If I am wrong, I would set a breakpoint around the auto-auth part - whatever that is - and see why it doesn't trigger.

Yes you are right on the waiting for auth. But what if no admins are online? To have the person wait until possibly the next day would not be the best solution. I'll see what I can find in the source.
I still don't understand why the first compiled source didn't trigger. I'll compile it again and see whats up. Also does the source smaug1.4a_mxp.tgz have the patch installed for the billion vnums?

Looks like not, to me. For instance, it has this line in mud.h:
sh_int vnum;
That should be "int vnum" to allow for large vnums.
sh_int vnum;
That should be "int vnum" to allow for large vnums.
You need to set WaitForAuth to "0" for it to auto approve any new characters. This can be done in with the cset command or you can go to ../system/sysdata.dat, open up sysdata.dat and change the "1" to a "0".
As for the billion vnums, you'll probably have to install that yourself. Not hard to put in, just takes a while. I have been working on a SMAUG, installing some commonly wanted stuff, ie hotboot/copyover, bilion vnums, news system, hi score tables, pfile cleanup, quest system and a few other cosmetics. My plan was to stick it on a website for anyone who wanted it. It includes all the bug fixes from Orion Elders website up to date. I'm almost done with it and should be "released" soon.

That sounds great Zhamel! I can't wait to see the quest system. If you need some webspace for a site I can help you out there.
