(FULL RESET)
If you wish to completely reset and start from scratch, follow these steps:
1) Before you shutdown your BBS for the last time prior to the reset,
choose C for Clear all saved evil points on the MajorMUD sysop menu.
2) Immediately following 'C', choose 'CP' to clear all the saved profile
information.
3) Shutdown the BBS
4) Refer to appendix A.1 in this document and follow those instructions
now if applicable to you (i.e. if you own MajorMUD Plus).
5) Keep a backup copy of your WCCADDON.SYS file if you own any MajorMUD
addons
6) If you created a wccmmud.ini file, take a backup of this file now
7) Write down any custom settings you may have done in your CNF options
8) Delete all the WCC files from your bbs directory (DEL WCC*.*)
NOTE: If you are running any other WCC Products (currently only WCC
Line Control is available) please contact Metropolis for information
on which files to NOT delete.
NOTE: If you received a new WCCDMA.SYS file (for running on a DMA
server) after the latest version was released, make sure you save
this file to restore it after reinstalling.
9) Re-install the latest version of MajorMUD using the appropriate
methods and apply any newer patches
10) Modify your CNF options as appropriate (refer to what you wrote down
in step 7)
11) If you took a backup of your wccaddon.sys file, copy it into your BBS
directory now.
12) If you took a backup of your wccmmud.ini file, copy it into your BBS
directory now.
13) Run the BBS and IMMEDIATELY choose C for Clear all saved evil points
on the sysop menu. NOTE: This must be done prior to anyone creating
new characters.
14) Immediately following 'C', choose 'CP' to clear all the saved profile
information. NOTE: This must also be done prior to anyone creating
new characters.
To fix ganghouse problems, you need to unzip the wcchse.zip files into the wg directory. If you don't have them, let me know.. I'll post them.
