Uhhh….

Posted on September 6, 2019September 9, 2019 by samakhulis

WOW!! Okay, in the past SIX YEARS, I’ve decided to stop complaining about my lack of motivation on a blog. However, yes, we’re still alive! tfgmush.org is still alive. It’s an actual, paid-for domain now and everything.

Achaea has become boring since their “renaissance.” It was at that point that I “saw past the matrix” and realized how badly they were screwing me out of time, money, and artistic contribution. Not this much, but enough.

However, I’m still the worst archival nut. Some might call me a data hoarder. Whatever the case, this blog still exists and I want it to stay alive for people that search the web for Samakhulis!! Yet, now it will be hosted locally because I learned to hate Blogger with a passion. So welcome to the new WordPress layout and hopefully you all can still find me! Firien, Skegonga, I’m talking to you.

Has it seriously been an entire year since I even looked at this thing!?

I guess so. Hello everyone, and welcome to yet another installment of Samakhulis Moonflair’s big fat bloggy-blog where we talk about anything Achaean. Or at least I do.

What’s been going on? Lots, then again, not a whole lot. I’ve been away quite a bit. Can’t put in a lot of full-day stints in-game, mostly because I picked up a new full-time job OOC in March, which has been keeping me very busy.

HOWEVER, been making new friends, finding old ones coming back and all sorts of things!

What to talk about? Umm..no idea. Garden’s stalled also, due to the job thingy, though there’ve been new people ever since I published on some of the fun little sites like The MUD Connector and MUDstats. Most of them don’t stick around. A few pop in every week or two. Others connect but never log in. It’s…slow.

Sorry, if I’m in a tired mood, but I am. Perhaps I’ll hang it up here for now and see you all again in another year!

The Fairy Garden – HUGE Update!!

Posted on March 18, 2011September 6, 2019 by samakhulis

As of…two days ago, we finally activated DSL at our house. With this news in mind, I’ve decided to try and make the Fairy Garden live 24/7! No more of these third-party hosting services that never work and take days to figure out…I’ve got this one set up already and running! And on the old address to: fairygarden.no-ip.org:3349

And just today I created a forum based on the free phpBB software. THAT is located at http://fairygarden.no-ip.org/forums/.

Anyway, hopefully I can keep developing it a little more now that it’s up, and of course, hopefully I’ll have more people asking in or just popping in….

TFG Updates

Posted on September 15, 2010September 6, 2019 by samakhulis

There have been a TON of major updates to the Fairy Garden.

1) MCP-Server finally sent me an email saying they were shutting down free service at the end of October. So with this confirmed, I opened up a new service with Vermaxhosting. And they didn’t let me pick my own port, so the online service, whenever it’s on is at:

Address: vermaxhosting.com
Port: 9304

2) I’ve also been hosting the server from my own laptop with a free DNS thingy.. That is at:

Address: fairygarden.no-ip.org
Port: 3349

3) We have a new player: Lynara, from Achaea, who has actually been debugging a TON of stuff within the last week. It seems to be her area of expertise. But of course, I’ve told her not to break the world..just a few bugs at a time please!! 😉

4) We’ve upgraded to 1.8.4p1. Fun fun.

5) I want a TON like I said I had, so here’s a fifth bullet point.

Anyway, I can’t think…no wait. oh here’s something else.

6) The localhost fairygarden.no-ip.org one even has a nice website with wiki and Shimmie and I already announced this didn’t I? Yes I did. I recall seeing the Shimmie tag in one of my previous posts. Never mind. Carry on.

Anyway, I can’t think of anything else right now..so take care and have fun.

Websites Websites Websites

I love websites. I love how they don’t work sometimes and you have to find backups!

So I’ve been trying to get my fairy garden thing together. But my free host keeps shutting off..like…they run out of money to keep it online, so they just turn the server off or something. Therefore I have kind of switched over fully to my backup system. It’ll be easier to maintain anyway.

And on top of THAT, I can create a better fully-featured website to provide an information portal.

The information for the new server is:

HTTP: http://fairygarden.no-ip.org

Telnet: fairygarden.no-ip.org

Port: 3349

It will not be on every day all day for a number of reasons, but if it is on, everything will be available to you.

ZMud Connecting to the Fairy Garden

Posted on March 22, 2010September 6, 2019 by samakhulis

Remind myself! Let me step myself through ZMud really quick so I know exactly how to write it out here :D.

So after installing and what-not, you’ll get a window that shows a list of MU*’s to connect to (especially if you told the installation to include sample MU*’s). Anyhow, you’ll use the New (+) button up at the top, change the host to fairygarden.mcp-server.com and the port to 3349 and then click the big Save button. If you get MUDConnector.com listings, don’t click through them because that’ll just change all that information that you just entered.

Once you’ve saved it, you’ll see a new icon in your list that says, “fairygarden.mcp-server.com.” You can now edit this and see a few more fields to change like the Name which might be something like “The Fairy Garden.” I added a custom icon I created from a fairy avatar I found someplace also. This is done by clicking the big square button with the default icon on the right. If you so wish, you can also pull down the Type drop-down and change it to Mush, although this is probably only for sorting and searching purposes.

Once you’ve edited it like you want, you can hit “Save” and then “Connect.” Now the connection window will disappear completely and the world window will open. From here I’d suggest possibly loading the map file I’ve created. This is located at http://cid-95ca1e074aa3e174.skydrive.live.com/browse.aspx/.Public and is that FairyG.mdb file. Download the file to some reasonable location which you don’t expect to move it from, then click the Map button in ZMud. It’ll open a new blank map. Do File>Open and browse for the mdb file that you just downloaded.

Load it and it should open up the map with the active room as the last room I just edited. It’d then be best to search around, most likely in the World zone, for the room where you are at. If you do a THINK LOC(HERE), you can find the dbref of the room that you are already in and then search the map for that room. The map rooms also have dbrefs associated with them, but should not be confused with the default room numbers which are autonumbers given to them by ZMud itself. BTW, if you are starting out as a completely new player, you’ll start in Room #0, which in the Map is Room #606 (Before the Cave of Creation), located in the Limbo Zone. If you right click this room and look at Properties>Other, you’ll see that VNum has been changed to 0 to reflect the DBRef of the room. In any case, find your current room, right click and Set Current Position.

Note: This map is not PERFECT, as some exits will lead to random locations where the map will not be able to anticipate. Therefore, it might be useful to play around with your map follow options and stay on Safe or Slow mode and research on how to trigger your location with the room number. Of course, as a mortal player, you’ll not see room numbers by default, and many of the room names are duplicates of many other room names, so that’ll take a bit of work on MY part. Maybe I should make sure that the room number is included no matter if you have the flag set to see them or not.

Yay! Hope this works! If you have any questions, ask….Sevilla. She’s better at ZMud than I am. I like my MUSHClient ;).

Hey all you! Guess what? I have started a Google Site thingy. Actually, it’s more for the Fairy Garden, since I want to be able to put information up about that without having to use the default web space given to me by YourMUD.net. So if any of you haven’t gotten into the garden or don’t even have a nice client to do so with, maybe I’ll try getting a client up there if possible. But in either case, I’m going to start putting fun-ness up on that thing. Oh, you’ll probably want to know where it is..it’s here: http://sites.google.com/sites/fairygardenmud. Enjoy! And hope to see you there.
