I found something interesting while browsing thru my wg
3.2 source code, I noticed that Worldgroup 3.2 is compiled
for a 386 type cpu, I guess they did this so a 386 and up cpu
could run worldgroup, so I recompiled mine to a 486 type cpu
and see more free memory and speed now. bad part is, BC++
5.00 will only do up to a 486 cpu, unless you want to totally
redo the code to compile with a modern compiler. anyone
want to make WG a modern bbs server?
Noticed something in the WG code
Re: Noticed something in the WG code
no, and wg was written in BC++ 5.00
and converting it would not be fun...

source code is on my ftp server, I think,
and moon shae iiles has the bcc++ 5.00
for download there.

Re: Noticed something in the WG code
all i gotta say is the server hauls ass recompiled for 486....
it would be sweet if a bunch of us could modify wg to be just a majormud game server... im not a master programmer or anything but i know enough... lets do it peeps.. bust out the conversion tools ;)

it's already capable of that by it's modular design.
a util called wgsdmod is used for this, bring down
the wg server, run wgsdmod, and just select which
moduals you don't want to load, err, it will tell you
if it needs something when it trys to boot up, I played
with this once and had just the bare wg kernel running,
all that is really needed is, the main exe, of course and
the main dll, which it's name excapes me at this time,
all the rest are option moduals. libs, forums, polls, doors,
etc, err, be sure to leave what you need, i.e. email, so
users can email you and others, and some games might
need the message or email moduals too. and don't forget
the sysop console for you, just write down exactly what
you or your users need, and use wgsdmod to unlink the
rest from the system. Wg is really a good system, needs
better docs thou...

Needs to be recompiled...:)
