Welcome to my world, Volund.

Glad to be here, but dunno how much of an impact I'll have. Mass social media often intimidates me.

Hello all you happy people! First post from me ever. Didn't know people were talking about me over here. Hi!

@Griatch
Yeah, I succeeded at the database conversion. Now I must specify this was optimized for my needs. What I have is simply a bit of code that will read the Penn outdb, locate the lines for different objects and attributes and retrieve information like parent, location, type, owner, and every attribute. It ignores locks, flags, etc. This tool is, at the moment, pretty crude but has allowed me to automate the re-creation of an entire game grid and import lots of data from people using my MUSHcode suite. It can't really 'convert a whole game at the touch of a button and interpret all the softcode' or anything miraculous like that, but this should allow me to, for instance, convert Exalted MUSH's existing characters and accounts and grid provided I've already coded all the Exalted stuff in Python first.

New blood! Drop by the IRC later!

Sometimes it feels like I am one of a handful of softcoders out there who give a darn anymore. As was said earlier, most of the sane ones have moved on other things. While there's a lot of merit to the conventions that softcoding has forged and I'm quite fond of PennMUSH, I think having avenues like Evennia around as an alternative for a more modern approach is more than welcome. I'm very much enjoying converting my extensive softcode package. If you want, you can observe my rather n00bish development progress on my Github.

https://github.com/volundmush/mushcode for the old code I'm converting (which anyone's free to use if they want) and https://github.com/volundmush/athanor for the Evennia project.

Sorry for the double-deleted post, didn't realize I could edit a previous one. Not sure how you guys are quoting one another and gotta figure that out now.
