version
to check the current version of the
TinyMUSH software.
TinyMUSH version 3.0 patchlevel 4 #1 [05/08/2002]
Build date: Tue Nov 11 18:14:32 EST 2003
Build info: gcc -g -O -DPUEBLO_SUPPORT -DUSE_COMSYS -DUSE_MAIL -DFLOATING_POINTS
Since the version was outdated, I shut down the
MUSH with
the @shutdown command.
Since the current version is TinyMUSH 3.1 patchlevel 4, I downloaded it. I then unzipped and untarred the file.
gunzip tmp31p4.tar.gz
tar -xvf tm31p4.tar
I then changed the working directory to the tinymush-3.1p4 directory
and issued the Build command to compile the software.
cd tinymush-3.1p4
./Build
I made an archive file of the 3.0 version of the MUSH with the
./Archive
command.
$ ./Archive Opening ./data/moondreaming.gdbm Done opening ./data/moondreaming.gdbm. Reading ............................ Input: TinyMUSH-3 version 1: Zone Link GDBM AtrName AtrKey Parent AtrMoney ExtFlags MoreFlags Powers QuotedStr TypedQuotas Output: TinyMUSH-3 version 1: Zone Link Parent ExtFlags MoreFlags Powers QuotedStr TypedQuotas Writing ....... Archiving... moondreaming.flat.0310-1848 ./data/comsys.db ./data/mail.db mush.config moondreaming.conf ./text/badsite.txt ./text/connect.txt ./text/create_reg.txt ./text/down.txt ./text/full.txt ./text/guest.txt ./text/htmlconn.txt ./text/motd.txt ./text/news.txt ./text/newuser.txt ./text/quit.txt ./text/register.txt ./text/wizmotd.txt ./text/wiznews.txt Done.
That created a file moondreaming-archive.0310-1848.tar.gz.
I then changed the working directory to the one for the 3.1 version of
TinyMUSH with cd tinymush-3.1p4/game and created a backup
of the default configuration file for that version with mv mush.config
mush.config.default. I then inflated the archive file I made earlier,
putting its contents into the 3.1 directory.
$ gzip -dc ~/tinymush/moondreaming/moondreaming-archive.0310-1848.tar.gz | tar -xvf - moondreaming.flat.0310-1848 ./data/comsys.db ./data/mail.db mush.config moondreaming.conf ./text/badsite.txt ./text/connect.txt ./text/create_reg.txt ./text/down.txt ./text/full.txt ./text/guest.txt ./text/htmlconn.txt ./text/motd.txt ./text/news.txt ./text/newuser.txt ./text/quit.txt ./text/register.txt ./text/wizmotd.txt ./text/wiznews.txt
The instructions suggest that if you are given the option to overwrite files that you should do so, but I was not prompted to overwrite any files.
I then edited mush.config.default and replaced the following lines with the values from the mush.config file from the 3.0 directory.
GAMENAME=netmush
OWNER=mush_admin@your_site.your_domain
I then overwrote the mush.config file with the mush.config.default
file with mv -f mush.config.default mush.config.
The upgrade instructions, which can be found in the INSTALL file then state that you should look for the following parameters in your GAMENAME.conf, in this case moondreaming.conf, file and remove them.
cache_depth
cache_width
input_database
output_database
mail_database
comsys_database
have_comsys
have_mailer
format_exits
format_contents
I found the following lines in moondreaming.conf:
#
input_database data/moondreaming.db
output_database data/moondreaming.db.new
crash_database data/moondreaming.db.CRASH
gdbm_database data/moondreaming.gdbm
#
# -- Mail and comsys databases.
#
mail_database data/mail.db
comsys_database data/comsys.db
I removed all of those, except for the
crash_database and gdbm_database lines.
I added the lines below:
module comsys
module mail
Since the database files had been in the data directory for the 3.0
version of the game, I added the line database_home data.
I also removed the "data/" from the following lines:
crash_database data/moondreaming.db.CRASH
gdbm_database data/moondreaming.gdbm
I then saved the conf file and converted the database to the new 3.1
format with the Restore command.
$ ./Restore moondreaming.flat.0310-1848 This archive appears to be uncompressed... okay. Moving old files out of the way. Please ignore file-not-found warnings. mv: can't stat source ./data/moondreaming.gdbm mv: can't stat source ./data/moondreaming.db.CRASH mv: can't stat source ./data/moondreaming.db.bk mv: can't stat source ./data/mod_*.db Restoring flatfile.

I then renamed the comsys and mail databases to the new 3.1 names.
cd data
mv comsys.db mod_comsys.db
mv mail.db mod_mail.db
I then started the MUSH with ./Startmush.
$ cd ..
$ ./Startmush

Since there appeared to be an error on line 83 in the Startmush file, I checked that line in the Startmush file and found the following:
#
# Get the current status of the MUSH.
#
if [ -r "$PIDFILE" ]; then
oldpid=`cat $PIDFILE`
if [ "$oldpid" -gt 1 ]; then
nmush=`ps | grep $oldpid | grep netmush | wc -l`
fi
fi
The script is checking to see whether the file represented by the
variable $PIDFILE exists and, if so, assigning the
process ID found in that file to the variable oldpid.
I looked in the mush.config file and found the line
PIDFILE=$GAMENAME.pid. There was no such file on
the system, i.e. in this case there was no moondreaming.pid.
What happens if that file containing a process ID for the MUSH doesn't exist? You get the error referring to "integer expression expected". It is nothing to be concerned about, since it will only occur if the PID file doesn't exist and the MUSH will start anyway. The gamename.pid file will be created when the MUSH starts.
