Keeping a nice list of progress on SceneSys, and what still needs to be done.

Recently, Javelin graciously let me have a look at the Storyboard system which used to be on Rio: Manhã de Carnaval, to let me get an idea of a similar system. It does what I planned for the web-side of SceneSys, and then some more. So I wanna note down some ideas that have spawned from this little look at it.

Over time, PennMUSH has been seeing more and more connectivity with MySQL and other such server software. Forums, bboards - even rumors of the Anomaly Jobs system stepping onto MySQL.
Ever since I started touching MySQL on my sandbox, ideas have begun to grow. SceneSys is one such idea. In this post, I will lay out this system for you. If you have any questions, leave me a comment! I'd love to answer any questions you may have.

Some process has been made. I've been getting people to log in and just the game by its theme and rules. So far, I've gotten good responses, and somewhat surprisingly to me, quite some /interest/ as well as questions on when it will start.

Some may have noticed on M*U*S*H over time, that I have been working on the development of a middle-verse typed MUSH for... well... quite some time now. Getting some unique code from people like Mike (Talvo) as well as regexp magic from Walker. Over time, I've learned quite some new ways of coding, and even toppled the way I used to do some of my code. Making it more modular... customizable.

But this is not about M*U*S*H and the awesome help it's provided me. Instead, it is about the game I am developing.

You wanna go to the following section:
[Configuration Properties] / [Linker] / [Input]

There is an area in here called 'Additional Dependencies'
In there should be: "user32.lib winmm.lib wsock32.lib"
Now we are going to add one more thing.

[mysqlclient.lib] it is called.
So select the area with the previously mentioned text, and click on the button on the right.
This should open a window called 'Additional Dependencies' Add the following line:

mysqlclient.lib

Now it should be:

user32.lib
winmm.lib
wsock32.lib
mysqlclient.lib

Okay?
Now.... press [OK].

Okay, so today I finally stepped over to Windows XP to install PennMUSH. I tried this twice before, trying to get my hands on Cygwin... let's not go into that, shall we? I got into programming school a while back, so I now finally had a Compiler I could use. Visual Studio 2005.

I had the greatest trouble getting this thing to work. So here a guide on how to get it to work:

Let's prepare our food!
