Races giving me a problem.

Im not quite sure whats wrong with my races as I can pick them, and they seem to work. But I noticed my log files were kinda building up fast! like making a log a second...Im a young padawan of mud coding and owning, and Ive heard about how helpfull everyone is here. So I would figure asking you guys.

Yeah, so thanks in advance.

Could you show us the race files? Just like it says, it seems like there are too many where_names fields in race files.

Cosmon.race Elvaan.race Halfesper.race Mithra.race Puppet.race Tarutaru.race
Dwarf.race Galka.race Human.race Moogle.race Sasquatch.race race.lst

Those are all my races.

If you cant tell its a final fantasy mud =P

I meant the data that's inside the files. Show one here first, one of them that you know have errors. (Probably one that's not stock)

I removed the stock ones (Hopefully thats not the problem XD). They seem to be all fine but Ill show you the Mithra.race

Looks like this is the problem:

Try removing that from all your race files.

Sweet thanks! looks like that did the trick, now there is just one more thing to patch up and my log files should remain smooth again.

Wed Nov 16 07:55:56 2005 :: Reading in area files...
area.lst: No such file or directory
_mcleanup: gmon.out: No such file or directory

area.lst No such file or directory? area.lst is in the area folder tho...

Are you running it correctly? Need to be running the startup script or running the binary file from the area dir.

See thats beyond me right there, Im looking to enroll into college sometime next semester. I kinda got sucked into mud owning pre-maturely (I dont wanna explain the sitatuation :(). I appreciate the help tho, but how would I be running the startup script wrong?

Well, how are you running it?

Running it off a wolfpaw server, I start it up at src, the question seemsa vague to me, being new and all at this. But thanks for putting an effort out. :D

I mean like, what do you type?

I havent had to startup in awhile. ./startup & brings up a permission denied...the coowner had me chmod 777 startup somehing like that I forget, I would have to ask him when I see him.

Well if you are running it by the startup script, and it still can't find area.lst, then something may be wrong with the script. Are you using the stock script from FUSS?

Yeah, I am...hrm maybe i should ask the fuss board?

No I'm pretty sure FUSS is fine. I am using the newest version of stock FUSS. What exactly are you doing to get the "area.lst: No such file or directory" error?

Thats the thing I dont know, I deleted all the stock areas when I first started. The MUD didnt seem to like it a whole lot so I put them back in, maybe i should just re-install the area folder since no areas have been built yet.

I got it taken care of :) Thanks for trying to help me tho! Im sure ill be posting again.
