| The server just sits there accepting connections from players. You don't type anything into that window - it just reports things like players connecting, and when areas are reset.
You need to use your client program to connect, eg. get MUSHclient (or some other client) and then connect to 127.0.0.1 port 4000.
127.0.0.1 is your own PC and port 4000 is where SMAUG is listening for players to connect.
To shut the MUD down you can type Ctrl+C into the SMAUG server window (this is the quick-and-dirty method), or preferably, log onto the server as an immortal (eg. Lordrom) and then type:
shutdown mud now

| Nick,
Thanks so much.... one more question though, :P.... creating rooms now, a person should be passing through a wall of water.... how do i put the description of this in so it gives them that description before they get to the next room? (ie, you're standing here... you go north, (desc, you pass through etc), new room...
Thanks for all the help | | Top |

| I would put the appropriate description in either:
* The exit program for the room you are leaving, or
* The entry program for the room you are entering
... depending on which was more appropriate.
eg.
mpechoat $n You pass through a wall of water ... |
