Make sure that no specials are accessing the things that you removed. Make sure that you removed the code for the boards that you removed. Make sure that the mortal and immortal and frozen starting rooms have not been removed. Make sure that you have at least one of each "thing": zone shop mob object room board (if you left the corresponding board code intact) The reason you need at least one shop and one mobile is that the mud attempts to index them at the start of the game. I'm not 100% sure about needing one object, but when I wiped the world and started over many years ago I recall needing one object as well. Of course, the one room that you need is so that you have a place to stand while in the mud. :) One last thing. Your mud may have just shutdown, not crashed. Read the syslog file to see if it gives you any errors. -- Zeavon Calatin, Magemaster of the Realms Spear of Insanity -- telnet://spear.kilnar.com:1066 http://spear.kilnar.com/ -- +---------------------------------------------------------------+ | FAQ: http://qsilver.queensu.ca/~fletchra/Circle/list-faq.html | | Archives: http://post.queensu.ca/listserv/wwwarch/circle.html | +---------------------------------------------------------------+
