I never once knocked it. I said it wasn't worth the time that was spent to get olc updated.. There's a difference.. And it's already been said he's using the stripped down version, so all he's got on there is boards, colour, olc and copyover (something again, that could easily be installed in a matter of a few hours).
I said it's not all that, and it's not. I'm not putting your work down, but, in short, it's not.. I'm sure PLENTY of people use it, however all QM is is a few snippets someone downloaded and put into a stock rom. Weighing the benefits of compltely stripping down OLCv2 with just starting from scratch, you'll find that there's none at all.. In fact it's more time consuming to go with the QM version if you want olc2.. I never ONCE flamed your release. I listed the benefits of it even, then said that it's not worth it to download QM to upgrade OLC, because it's not.. The same can be said with Rot, but at least rot's got quite a few major changes to it, so the benefits of running rot would weigh more. ------------------------------------------- TJW: Head tech, Dreamless Realms Mud Personal: http://twhiting.kyndig.com Mud: http://drealms.kyndig.com Snippets http://drealms.kyndig.com/snippets Telnet telnet://drealms.kyndig.com:9275 The OLC2 Pages http://olc.kyndig.com ------------------------------------------- -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of The Alaskan Bear Sent: Tuesday, February 05, 2002 3:30 PM To: Tom Whiting Cc: [email protected] Subject: Re: olc 1.81 - 2 <FLAME> Let's start off by addressing your "ONLY" benefits to QM These features include (but are not limited to): OLC 1.81 Lope's Color v2 Erwin's Copyover v? Erwin's Noteboard System there is also a stripped down set of areas available for quickmud as well -- quickmud.tar.gz -- areas-qm-stripped.tgz These are the ones for just the Stipped Down Starter Verion. You fail to mention that there are also a few other versions that are also out there. QuickMUD with Ammaross' Unlimited Bitsystem with an Unlimited Bitsystem Area's File -- quickmud-bits.tgz -- areas-bits-stripped.tgz There is also one for the Window's users QuickMUD + Unlimited Bitsystem ported to Windows. Comes complete with a project workspace and everything. -- quickmud-bits-win32.zip Yes, I will admit there isn't a lot installed with QuickMUD, but it is used as a starting point for many muds due to the fact that it doe take time to get OLC, Color, Copyover, and Noteboards installed, and also the Version with the Unlimited Bitsystem (which happens to be the most popular downloaded version) takes quite a bit of time to convert everything over. So, in closing, you need to think before you go knocking something that some people have worked on to help out others. -- -------AK_Bear------ Registered Linux User: #253251 http://quickmud.akbearsden.com IRC: irc.acestar.org #rom email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] There are some things lots of money can buy ...
