Well it only took me a couple of hours. I have managed to add Pueblo enhancements to a stock CircleMUD 3.0 (bpl18) and am in the process of writing a snippet on what changes I made. I also plan to include a patch for those of you inclined to use those. I did find several problems with the Pueblo client, but only one major one I considered a "bug". Its more like a feature actually. The website for the MUD I code on (let's call it a.com) appears to have the exact same IP addy as the server it is setting on (I'll call it serverx). I realize this is normal, and a DNS will work around it. The problem is, any 'img src' I point to a.com come back with a 404 from serverx, not a.com. For instance: img src="http://a.com/misc/myfile.jpg" Returns a 404 like so: serverx: File /misc/myfile.jpg not found on this server. Now this IS a problem. Because the exact same link works fine in IE and Netscape. I can only assume that the handshake protocol is somehow being screwed up. I decided to use port 22 instead of 80, and I see now why the 404 pops up, but I need confirmation. Instead of using regular http DNS, I believe Pubelo uses lower port DNS lookup. Like checking for ftp instead of http. I hope this is coming out the way I want it to. Now when I make a reference to a subdomain, it works fine. The problem I have is that serverx has a complex mapping system that I can't figure out so I can give a static file map to Pueblo. What I mean by subdomain is: http://aol.sux.com/myuser/myfiles/mypic.jpeg <-does not return a 404. Now since our website doesn't have a sub I'm forced to use pics from other sites, which really sucks for everyone involved, but mostly the ones I'm "borrowing" bandwith from. If anyone sees a flaw in my theory, or can offer a solution, it would be greatly appreciated. -FIRE p.s. I apologize for any incoherent rambling or typos, ect. I have been up for almost 48 hours and am nodding off as I type. Yeah, it sucks to be me. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Get email at your own domain with Yahoo!
