Installation

Trying out the MUD

Trying out the MUD

Requires Java JVM 1.5

You can now try out an installation of GrooyMud! Connect now on telnet://zeno.biyg.org:2223 !!

Download and Unzip

Choose the featured download zip file
unzip it somewhere on your local machine

Edit the conf files

Edit groovymud.conf and set the locations to the unzipped mudspace directory eg

groovymud.home=C:\\dev\\workspace-groovymud\\GroovyMud\\
mudSpace=C:\\dev\\workspace-groovymud\\GroovyMud\\src\\mudspace
scripts=C:\\dev\\workspace-groovymud\\GroovyMud\\src\\scripts
store=C:\\dev\\workspace-groovymud\\GroovyMud\\src\\mudspace\\store

Edit the shell script "groovymud.sh" and change the variable "GROOVYMUD_HOME" to reflect the installation directory, eg /export/apps/groovymud

Run GroovyMud!

run the groovymud.sh file! Windows users, you will have to use Cygwin to run this script :( but I will make a bat file soon.

If groovymud does not start up, the most likely issue will be the security. If AccessController gives you an exception, note down the protection domain and the permission thats failing and add it to the policy.

After following all of these instructions (on Mac OS X, with groovy installed and with JDK 1.6 installed), I get the following:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError?: org/groovymud/engine/JMUDEngine Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException?: org.groovymud.engine.JMUDEngine

JMUDEngine is not the name of the main class, there was a typo in the script.

This should be org.groovymud.engine.JMudEngine and is now corrected in the latest download.
