I play on a legit bbs and the owner recently upgraded from 1.11n to 1.11p. He downloaded o but didn't let it initialize before installing p. When the board came back up random amounts of money was everywhere, all of the rooms were casting random rooms spells, and none of the mods were activated (even tho they were before). He did a floor sweep to clear out the money, and after awhile (no clue how long, I logged off after some people were teleported from silvermere to crystal lake) the random spells ended, but the mods still aren't activated. How would he go about fixing this mess? He wrote Metro, but knowing them I figure there was a good chance of getting a reply from here first. Thanks for any help you can provide.

have him copy wccmp002.vir over wccmp002.dat, the most likely problem is that the room database became corrupt due to his not letting the conversion program included in the 1.1o upgrade finish running. this will, of course, do a full room sweep, so he should give ample warning to the board and allow people to pick up stashes (from ganghouses as well) if necessary. he may still need to contact metro if he doesn't have all his activation codes written down somewhere, not certain on that factor.

So why didn't Zero/Jamie the "all knowing" make a backup first... Or where their brains not working properly?

Jamie didn't know the first thing about MajorMUD, it was Yellow who helped him setup everything in the first place. Zero and Yellow were resposible for what happened to the board, Jamie was clueless. Incase you didn't hear, Jamie never paid for the mods and didn't even know he was running them illegally.

If your an owner/op how do you not know that you didn't pay for something. Did he think that the MODS just magically appear, or is this guy 12 years old, and has been brain dead for the last 10 years.



Well if he's one foot in the grave, might as well jump in head first :D and make it a totally hex board.

Your kidding me right? So how the fuck did he get on the "legit bbs list" and get support from turbo's? That's funny as hell. How did this information go about being obtained? I'm just curious how this was discovered.. lol this is funny crap... I hope METRO goes after Jamie's lame azz..
