What can >I do to get clean shop files? You don't even know how to get to the archives, do you? The link is in the bottom of ALL emails sent to this list, and if you go there and search for your problem, you will most assuredly find the answers there. Archives: http://post.queensu.ca/listserv/wwwarch/circle.html Instead of sending these questions to the list, go there and search first, and if you can't find anything, then you need a quick course in search criterias. If your problem at hand is a shop file missing, or that they become "corrupted", then you have the infamous top_shop bug still, or something related to it, so I suggest you search for the words 'shop' and 'bug' and perhaps even 'sedit' and 'top_shop'. And if you can't find anything in the archive, search on www.google.com (or your personal favorite search engine) and read through some pages there, and if you're still stumped, go to the developer.circlemud.org site and search through the files there, and you might find something there as well. Instead of asking all these *really* simple questions, try to solve the problem yourself first. It is obvious that you do not heed the flames and the information given to you, since you keep on posting in exactly the same way. Nobody is that stupid. So I still think you're trolling. But, to make this something else than a nicely phrased flame: your fix for newindex sounds like it is the cause of your problem. Take a look at clean CircleMUD OasisOLC code, preferably genzon.c or genwld.c, and read through the save functions in there and you'll know how to make it properly create index files. If the file is indeed not created, or "disappear", then you might have a file system problem, perhaps the mud doesn't have write rights in the directory in question (like if you're running it as another user and that user is not allowed to access the directory)? That would be mainly a *nix related question though. As for the shops, this has been addressed a bzillion times already, so please, please, pretty please, with sugar on top, read the bleeping archives! Did you even read all the way down here?
