MUD's

[JiltedCitizen]

I want to install a mud on my site. Does anyone have any running? If so what ones?

This is the one i'm trying to install http://qmt.ath.cx/ I think its like earth from www.swirve.com It needs PHP GD library 1.8 adn a cron job or scheduled task to run the turns page. I don't know if thats possible on windows hosting. Anyone know?

GD is packaged with PHP these days, 2.0 series.

As for cron, not on windows, but if you have a linux account you can set a cron there to hit the windows site.

So no way to schedule things in windows? Guess it doesn't matter I can't get it to work anyway.

Tech support should be able to set up a scheduled task for you. I have one that runs every morning to initiate a ColdFusion script I wrote to import some data from a remote server.

Send in a ticket and request for them to set up the scheduled task you need. They should be able to do it, unless the task is something really weird.

None one tries to run a MUD? Bummer. How about just opinions if you play any?

I stopped playing muds when I ran out of time about 8 years ago.

But before then I used a BBS to play MUDs with others. Never really got into them however.
