http://www.circlemud.org/pub/CircleMUD/contrib/olc/online/OasisOLCv2.0.1-bpl17.README OasisOLC version 2.0.1, patched against CircleMUD bpl17 ------------------------------------------------------- Original author: Levork Copyright 1996 Harvey Gilpin Copyright 1997-2001 George Greer (greerga@circlemud.org) This is the final release of the OasisOLC package by me. I don't have the time to put forth a proper effort on this package and CircleMUD as well. Since anybody can continue to maintain OasisOLC, it's the one I have to give up. I never intended to spend such a long time on it when I originally picked it up. At the time I was just tired of hearing about all the crashing problems on the CircleMUD mailing list and decided to fix it because I was doing similar de-crash work on the CircleMUD codebase itself. Today, neither of them crash (much), except perhaps sedit. I never did spend much time on that particular part of OasisOLC. This new update (2.0.1) fixes a few bugs in 2.0, uses sprintascii() more often thanks to a patch from Carlos Myers <dhstranger@hotmail.com>, includes the object level restrictions from Julian Buckley <caniffe@caniffe.org>, and provides (untested) code to work with the bpl19 zone system. If you want proper overlapping zone support you'll have to be very familiar with the CircleMUD code and the effects it can have. It's generally a good idea to keep any overlaps a proper subset of a larger zone. Anyone is free to pick up the code and continue distributions of it. You can even slurp it into some Ultra-Mega-Patch-Pack if you want, although I'd prefer it be kept in a minimum format as well for those people who don't want all the Nifty-Whizzbang features of the UMPP. Also, if multiple people decide to continue the work, please coordinate. There is little worse than two different people both peddling the same package with different updates, interfaces, and behavior. No one will know which is better and it'll all end up a big mess. You're free to ignore me, of course, but try to keep it civil. -- George Greer greerga@circlemud.org ( Ack!
