I have tryed this combination and the patch failed to work, I have tryed the patch on circle3.0bpl18 with sevaral versions of OLC including some of the older versions. > As for the pre-patched CircleMUD packages, really, they're never > going to have literally EVERYTHING you want, but rather, a few large > packages which everyone puts in their mud right away, like olc, dg > scripts, etc. Well buildwalk seemed like a usefull addition to packages everyone else seems to add right away, thats why i asked if anyone has already made a pre-packaged version including buildwalk. > > For the buildwalk function you mentioned, it's made > for "circlemud > 3.0 bpl18 with OasisOLC v2", and it seems pretty > straightforward (though, > I haven't tested that it actually works). If it doesn't seem > to work for your particular version, just fix it so it does. as you say, you havent tested it, I wanted to know if anyone had had the same problem with the buildwalk patch other than myself. AND i have downloaded circle3.0bpl17 to 19 and installed each without problems and installed various patches to each also without problems, and again i was interested if anyone else had had the same problem with the buildwalk patch. > > > > When applying the patch several hunks of code fail to patch > > successfully, > > Patches do that, even for the same version of code > that they were > made for, especially if you've been heavily relying on 3'd > party patches. > It should take almost no effort for someone to correctly > insert the failed > hunks, even if they didn't know how to program. As i said, i used stock versions of the circle distrubtions and stock versions of olc applied, I also tryed the patch on pre-patched versions of circle. And yes if i didnt think that maybe someone else hadent come across the same problem then i wouldnt have posted the message. further to this - yes i could have checked out the patch and manualy inserted the code, BUT again has anyone else had the same problem before i go ahead and do this. > That having been said, it sounds like you don't know how to > program.

I don't mean, "Don't touch if you can't see what the > result is." > bla bla bla No i dont profess to be a programmer but that doesnt mean i cant program, to a certain extent. - i have to write korn scripts for aix environments every day. Im not familiar with c but i can apply what i know to it. I can read the code but im not real great at getting code i write myself to work first time. anyhow to summerise if noone else has used this buildwalk patch then ill work it out myself, NP. but if anyone has anything to mention about the patch that mite be usefull, somthing like, 'the patch doesnt work' or 'dont use it' ect then that would be a little nore usefull. anyhow thanks for the lecture. regs jason AKA SED -- +---------------------------------------------------------------+ | FAQ: http://qsilver.queensu.ca/~fletchra/Circle/list-faq.html | | Archives: http://post.queensu.ca/listserv/wwwarch/circle.html | | Newbie List: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/circle-newbies/ | +---------------------------------------------------------------+
