A> Did you fix the rejected stuff? B> With OLC, it's best if you patch that in DIRECTLY after downloading the source. Otherwise, you'll run into some rather large and lengthy rejections, causing yourself much more work than usual. C> use Linux, or an offline room creation system. I'm not exactly sure OLC is going to WORK for the win/cygwin versions. Then again, I haven't tried it, so I wouldn't be able to speak any more about win specific versions.
OLC is a patch that goes in clean for me. It has on ANY rom mud, providing it's the FIRST patch to go in (as it always should be). If it's not, then you've got a hell of a long road ahead of you. Don't blame it on the author, for leaving lousy instructions, THANK the author for being kind enough to maintain his own mud, AND provide a snippet that's widely used. And, if I may make a suggestion, use Olc2, NOT olc 1.8 -- There's a lot more flexibility with OLC2 and it'll save you quite a bit of work in the longrun..

I have Ivan's version 1.81 for ROM24b6. I followed the instructions the best I could but I felt the author left a lot out that was probably needed to make the OLC installment run a little easier. I have a few questions but for now I will tell you all what problems I have experienced. I go into cygwin and go to patch olc by typing patch < patch.olc The 1st Hunk completes successfully with 2 fuzz (whatever that means). Then it is told I experienced an error on like 24 - 29. I get another option to patch file which I choose again, patch.olc. It tries to patch but fails and gives me a message that it cannot rename patch.olc to patch.olc.orign. Confused, I figure this was supposed to happen and continue cutting, pasting, dragging, etc... files into their appropriate places. The directions then say i have to 'make' in SRC folder so I do so. I get tons of warnings but in the directions it says I should just ignore them. I switch the rom.exe from the SRC to the area folder and go into my pfile. Following the directions I type Sec 9 in my pfile giving me the highest security there. I load the game, help olc works but nothing else does for OLC, I experience no new bugs besides FREAD_CHAR no match. What happened and what can I do to fix my problem. Thanks for reading this!
