README

        
This is *not* the official TZMud, but instead a fork, 

implementing my suggested fixed for several of its 

issues[1]. Each "fix" in this branch is reported in 

the official issues list for validation and inclusion

in the official release. So, you *shouldn't* use this

code in production, but instead use the official 

version[2]. 

For tracking purposes, specially because it's probable 

that this fork will lag behind the official development, 

I'll update this README file to allways indicate which 

upstream version it is based on.

Based on: SVN r450

=========================================================

TZMud is a Python MUD server.

Check for the latest updates at:

    http://tzmud.googlecode.com/

INSTALLING

First install the requirements:

    Python (http://www.python.org/)

        [tested with Python-2.6.5]

    Twisted (http://twistedmatrix.com/)

        [tested with Twisted-10.0.0]

    ZODB3 (http://pypi.python.org/pypi/ZODB3/)

        [tested with ZODB3-3.9.4]

    Pyparsing (http://pyparsing.wikispaces.com/)

        [tested with Pyparsing-1.5.2]

    If you want to run the (optional) web server,

        you will also need:

        Nevow (http://divmod.org/trac/wiki/DivmodNevow)

            [tested with Nevow-0.10.0]

Unpack the TZMud distribution and run the

TZMud control program tzcontrol.py with:

    python tzcontrol.py -s

That command will generate an empty configuration

file at etc/conf.py where you can add changes to

the settings from etc/defaults.py

RUNNING

If you want to start with a minimal world, then

the first time you run the server, run the TZMud

control program as:

    python tzcontrol.py -f

That command will generate a "fresh" database with

a couple of simple rooms. The first character you

create will be an administrator.

If you would like to use the more built up world

that is included with the distribution, then run

the TZMud control program as:

    python tzcontrol.py -z

That command will restore the database 0.Data.fs

from the var/db/backup directory. All players

have been removed from the database, so you will

still be able to create the first admin character.

CONNECTING

Use a MUD client (or telnet if you want to play the

old-school way). The default port is 4444. If you

are running the server on your own computer, try

connecting to localhost:4444 or 127.0.0.1:4444

Once connected, create a character with

    create  

(Do not include the angle brackets <>)

The first character created will be an administrator.
