"blahblahblah", then do this"etc.etc.? I think Jeremy's working on that for the next release. No, he doesn't know when the next release will be ready. ;) One thing a lot of newbies misunderstand is that when the mud crashes, it's very rare that you'll get any info from the syslog. Sometimes it's useful to know if someone was in the middle of logging in, and other small tidbits, but SYSERR's usually only show up when there's a nonfatal error. My best advice is to search the code for a part of the syslog errors so you can see where a certain warning is generated and get an idea of what would cause it. For example: SYSERR: error in zone file: Invalid vnum etc... grep "error in zone file" src/*.c Your SYSERR's are always going to be the result of code or database changes (socials, mobs, rooms, etc), so the first thing to check is what you've changed. I've never seen stock circle cause errors.
