AVP: Legends was a MUD I created back around 2003, I think I was around 16-17 at the time, so don't hold the code quality against me, haha. It descends from SWR, a descendant of SMAUG.
This code is provided as-is. I haven't touched it in two decades now, and remember very little about how to setup or operate the MUD. I also made only a quick pass to scrub personal email addresses and old accounts, so I don't know what else you'll find in these files.
- Install the required packages
apt-get install make g++ libz-dev
- Optional install for debugging
apt-get install gdb
- Compile the source code (Expect a lot of warnings)
cd srcmake
- Start the server
- Make sure you are in the root directory.
- Execute
./run.sh- Edit this file if you want to change the port. (Default is 7676)
I do NOT recommend using the old src/avpscript, it has not be updated.
Some other things I tried when getting this up and running, unsure what all is required.
- Most directories besides
srcshould have both read and write permissions. - The compiled binary needs to have it's working directory in area, so for a manual start:
cd area../src/avp [port]
- There is a
./debug.shscript in the root, that will start the server inside GDB. - If you see
SEGMENTATION VIOLATIONerrors, that's a SIGSEGV handler attempting automatic copyover. This unforunately tends to consume the error, so you might want to comment out the hook while troubleshooting. Search comm.c forsignal( SIGSEGV, SegVio );
