Installing NMC by Hand

If the installer chokes on your computer, you may set up your MUCK the old fassioned way, from .zip files. Download either:

The minimal database with nothing but One and Zero. Or

The Pre-Loaded Database with all current NMC software up to the release of Beta 10.

·  Use CVS to grab a copy of the other NMC stuff, that process is already explained in full on this page. New programs, bugfixes and other necesities show up here as they are completed.

~Unzip the files to your hard drive.

When you want to run your MUCK, there's two ways you can do it.

You can run it from the command prompt...
• Go to the Start Menu and select Run
• In the box, type 'cmd' and hit enter.
• Type cd (Default: cd c:\nmc\MUCK)
• Type start_muck #### replacing #### with the four digit port number (if you leave the number out it defaults to 4201)

Or create a shortcut.
• In My Computer find the file start_muck.bat in your MUCK folder (Default is c:\nmc\MUCK)
• Right-click on the file and select Create Shortcut
• Right-click on the new shortcut and select Properties
• In the Target box, you'll see the file path of the .bat file. At the end of this, insert a space and the 4-digit port number you want to run from (if you leave this alone, it will default to 4201). Click OK.
• Rename the shortcut, if you wish, to the name of your MUCK (Right click, Rename).
• Drag and drop the shortcut to your desktop or the Start Menu.
