Redwall MUCK Forum

Finally got a minute to poke around... FV looks great! Thanks for all your help rebuilding, Sarnith!

If you want to turn the radio broadcast back on, I believe the command is...

+set here broadcast=@radio

I don't think it can be set from the parent, so has to be done room by room.

If you remember URLs for old versions of the site, you can use the Wayback Machine.

The URL for the Drupal site was http://rwmuck.limitless.org/rwmuck, and it was thoroughly crawled.

It appears FV was unlinked from the main grid sometime prior to March, so when Oz's character purged, the rooms purged instead of being transferred to chown_char. Any that are owned by active characters survived.

I am not very familiar with the map of FV but I pulled some of its descriptions from the wiki. Left the exit names in case they can help piece things back together.

Welcome!

You can play whatever style of character you’d like, as long as it’s within the theme and rating of the MUCK.

Best way to learn about the world and the game is to explore it

It’s been quiet lately, but there is a recent thread in this forum for coordinating roleplay times.

Feel free to post questions here if you don’t see any staff online. They check the boards too. The wiki has a ton of info and old RP logs, but content goes back to the early aughts so be aware that some of it is outdated.

Sad to see you go, Oz. Only a few of us 90s players left.

Thank you for so many years of plots and dedication to the MUCK!

Real life is always more important than the game, but the nice part is that it sometimes settles down and lets us revisit old pastimes. Glad to hear you'll be stopping by the forum now and then; maybe you'll even be able to pop onto the MUCK for one-off RPs. Being a part of the MUCK community doesn't have to be a full time commitment. 

Wishing you well with everything. Feel free to continue to contribute to the forum and wiki: They're meant to be a platform for inactive players as well as those participating in current plots.

This is a really wonderful idea! Summer of the Rose, Summer of a Strongheart?

Thank you for your many years of RP and friendship, Blisa!

Simple MU! I used Simple MU for much of the early 2000s--only left it because I switched to Mac for a while and had to find something compatible.

Now you got me curious if I can still get it to install on a Windows machine... for science. The woman who wrote the program even released the registration key a couple years ago. I only had the unpaid version as a teen It's wild to think about sending a check to a developer as a means to unlock shareware. Not that developers shouldn't get paid, but that online payment was not even an option at the time!

If a future Windows update does finally cause Simple MU to stop working for you, I second Wallace's rec for MUSHclient as a good Windows client. Or Mudlet, as Sassafrass mentioned--I have only tried this one as a GUI option for linux so far, but it's a nice app! Always good to have options.

Cool! Glad to hear things are a bit faster

As another update... old links to forum.rwmuck.org/whatever in posts and stuff should now redirect to the new URL. So nobody needs to do any manual updating. Took me way too long to figure that one out, but I thiiiink it's working

Got a couple weeks off in MO and stealing wifi from the business next door (don't tell!)
Hoping to fix everything before I am "off grid" again.
Beefed up the server. Wrote new backup scripts to delete old files after they've been moved to object storage. Maybe we won't run out of local storage 3 times a year now

certbot is a lifesaver for Let's Encrypt. I run it as a cronjob every day so I don't have to panic and furiously google things every 90.

00 4    * * *   root    certbot renew --post-hook "systemctl reload apache2"

Sweet, had hoped the size limitation wouldn’t pose a problem. The server software handling uploads will block anything super huge for resource and security reasons. As long as it’s below that limit the forum software will attempt to resize images to fit. Its ability to resize is very basic so some may still fail…. a good practice would be to resize them before uploading to like 300kb (or less!) if you’re able without sacrificing too much image quality.

Sure do! If the newest forum user that looks like a spam account has you worried… that was me. I was doing some testing

Oh, um… right! It would have been helpful for me to take it out of test mode Check again!
