I have Windows 98, and I wonder if that could be the > problem. Please reply. The files in the attic have the code for Majik3 and Majik4 servers. Instructions on how to install them are found in the file README.1ST. However, you will surely need some knowledge of programming to get them working. The packages are there in for someone to start developing the games further, there isn't much to do in the gaming side. Both Majik3's and Majik4's servers are based on MudOS which must be compiled in order to get the server running. A version of MudOS exists for Windows, but it's not supported very actively so you might bump into unexpected problems. Also, we haven't tested running the servers under windows. To get the game running out-of-the-box (ie. with the instructions in README.1st) you will need somekind of Unix variant (Linux, FreeBSD, Solaris, ...) to compile and run the server. > 1) I downloaded the Majik 3D files and 0.4.0 and 0.3.1 run great, Except I found > that when I open the file Majik3d.exe from the 0.4.0 release and it puts me in the > DOS screen, The second message i get before I connect is "Illegal mode passed to > ssgSimpleStat::Disable(2912)" Minus the quote marks. From https://majik3d-legacy.org/faq.html: 4.7. I get this "Illegal mode passed to ssgSimpleState::disable(2912)" -error Because the current version of plib cannot handle enabling / disabling fog while rendering the scene it gives this warning. Currently it has absolutely no effect on the gameplay and can be safely ignored. > 2) On 0.3.0 I ran the Executable, It put me in the DOS screen, But then nothing happened, > No messages, The DOS didnt terminate, nothing.

Minus quote marks, I was connected to the Internet while this happened. The server's address has changed since the version 0.3.0. Edit the majik3d.ini and change the server's IP number to 195.74.0.76. But then again, you don't need the older version for anything, trust me :). ++ Dazzt --- Jari Saukkonen + jari.saukkonen@cs.helsinki.fi | Coral programming, music, keyboards, web, demos, b5 | Nah-kolor dazzt @ Majik3D RPG https://majik3d-legacy.org | Majik
