Yeah, I need a system, a really good system that is (and most likely will remain) supported and whatnot. So I come across Ethelon's AG 2.0, and I'm like, whoa! That's cool. And cheap. And I'm all gay about it. But the thing is, Ethelon is nowhere to be found. rolleyes.gif

So, I'd really appreciate anyone's input on what system I should choose and why. smile.gif

If you don't mind a system with a few kinks to be worked out yet (as it's still in the testing and debugging phase), you may download my MUSHclient system from my web page. Support (questions answered and help beyond the included docs) is the only part that costs anything.

Well, I think your system's just what I need, but I have an annoying little problem... And I know support is to be paid for and whatnot, but this is just silly...
In the how-to-install part of the website, step 3 is annoying the hell out of me. I have MUSH 4.35, and I've tried both methods you described to enable io.input - except I haven't really "tried" the first method because there is no "io = nil" line in my sandbox. So yeah, I've been messing around with it, and I just can't figure it out. When I try /treant:Install() later on, it reports this:

Error number: 0
Event: Run-time error
Description: :1: attempt to index global 'treant' (a nil value)

stack traceback:

:1: in main chunk
Called by: Immediate execution

Yeah... I'd really appreciate it if you could help me with this.

You need a more recent version.

Deschain is partially correct. The "Requirements" section on my web page says what you need before you even get into it.

Your error message, however, indicates that you didn't "require" my treant.lua script in your own Lua script, thus the functionality there is unavailable to you.

Okay, I got 4.37. I can't say I understand your post, though. That is, I don't see a solution in it...

When you create the world file, you need to add the bit about require "treant" etc.

He's talking about this step:

4. Create a world for your character with the following non-default options
configured:
* Appearance -> Output
Check 'Disable compression'
Check 'Convert GA/EOR to newline'
* Scripting -> Scripts
Choose 'Lua'
Set 'Script Prefix' to '/'
Check 'Enable scripting'
Setup a new script file for this character and include the following
code in the file (at a minimum):
require "treant"
treant:Init()
