A big "Thank you!" to Orrin. Not just for this wonderful site, but for helping me set up FMud for our game.

You rock, Orrin. The MUD comminuty is made better from having you as a member.

How difficult was the Fmud setup?

Not as hard as I thought it would be.

The tricky part was that the policy server (because I do not have access to port 843) was in Python, requiring 2.5 (whereas 2.4 was installed on a server on which I have no root control). Orrin directed me to find a Perl version, which I found and installed. He also answered a couple other questions I had about it (correct file name syntax, removal of name/password functions).

Now I want to pretty up the html, add some help file links and maybe find a way to force focus to the Flash screen (unsure if even possible from html/php). I was also considering trying to use it to code my first Facebook app. Now to find time…

All in all it was a rather quick installation, once I understood that I needed to use a Perl policy file server.
