Dedicated to the debugging and improvement of OasisOLC.

You really want http://developer.circlemud.org/OasisOLC/ now. This page is just here for archival purposes and has dead links and other garbage.

OasisOLC originated a few years ago as an redit/iedit package written by Levork. Harvey Gilpin took the original package and wrote an editor for shops, zones, and mobiles while Iedit became Oedit in the 1996 release named OasisOLC. Since then it has become one of the two frequently used OnLine Creation systems for CircleMUD 3.0. Oasis primarily relies on a menuing system while the other OLC, Obuild, works through a command line interface. After its release, many people reported problems, primarily crashes after executing 'zedit new' or while saving a mobile to memory. A few patches to OasisOLC, fixing minor problems and including the improved editor patch, surfaced occaisonally, many of which are still on the CircleMUD FTP site in the contrib/code directory, but also a pre-patched source distribution in contrib/server. Version 1.5 of OasisOLC is the result of weeks of dedication and bug reports by the CircleMUD community. Version 2.0 of OasisOLC will include support for the GenOLC library of functions I am also working on, hopefully they will allow much smoother integration of OBuild and OasisOLC.

Please send any bug reports to George Greer.
