-KAIOU'S MUD
=========================

ABOUT: 
This is the infamous DBZRPG MUD that I created awhile back.  This is the new
and improved version that I said I had made.  It's a lot better than the old
one.  Anyway, first read the history of the MUD, then I will try to explain
on how to set it up.



*HISTORY OF THE MUD*

The MUD was created waaaay back during the first generation of the RPG.  It was built 
so that players could have a visual idea of how the world was layed out, and so that 
they could just explore and have fun.  All the towns were in it, and many of the 
players owned property.  


Now, however, it has been completely revamped.  Rooms are better, and the over-all
structure of it (through the programming) is a lot cleaner and more reliable.  There 
are currently about 150 rooms, but that is soon to change when Scott and I have some
free time.

In the meantime, let's learn how to move around and stuff



*HOW DO I SET THIS UP?*
Well, it's not -too- hard if you know what you're doing.   First unzip the zip
into your Kaiou folder.  You should then have another zip in the Kaiou folder
called mud-rooms.zip, and it should have added 3 INIs as well. (newmud1.ini, 
newmud2.ini, newmud-aliases.ini).   

Load the newmud1 and newmud2 inis into your
REMOTES, and the newmud-aliases.ini into your ALISES (makes sense, doesn't it?).
If you don't know how to do this, you probably shouldn't be using the mud in the
first place.

Now.  Unzip the mud-rooms.zip into a SEPERATE folder (usually something like
"Rooms"  or "MUD"  or "mud-rooms")  Make sure it's all one word, or has a
hyphen or underscore (aka, no spaces!)  If you have spaces it won't work
right.

Now, open Kaiou.  and type the following:
/set %mudrooms <the complete path to where you unzipped the rooms>
/set %player_folder <the complete path to the folder where the players/inis are>

For example.  If your Kaiou folder was  c:\kaiou\   and your rooms are 
located in  c:\kaiou\rooms\

then you would type:

/set %mudrooms c:\kaiou\rooms\
/set %player_folder c:\kaiou\


*********
IMPORTANT
*********
Make sure you leave the last \  on the end of the path!  If you don't, the MUD
will not work!


OK! Did you set it up?  Load all the inis?  If so, have a player type +reset MUD
and then type !MUD  and see if it worked.    If not..well, I don't know what
else to tell you.  Check all your DCC settings and make sure that you're not
behind a firewall.  If so, you'll have to mess around with those settings until
you can let people connect to you.  



*MUD COMMANDS*

+reset mud
EVERYONE needs to use this command (just once) before entering the MUD for the
first time.  It sets the room at the starting position and sets up the file to
access it.  Use this command in the CHANNEL (not the dcc chat)!

+mud stats    
Use this command in the CHANNEL (not the dcc chat) to see how many rooms there are
currently in this version of the MUD.

go <place>
This command lets you move around once your inside the MUD
 
look
This command shows you what room you're in, and the exits (and items, if any) 
that are located within it.

who
This command will show you who's online and what area they are in.

read
If there is a sign in the room, you can use this command to read it.

fly
If you have the 'flying' skill, you can use this command in the MUD to get to
various places faster than you could by walking.
