| | What do you mean? I was hoping to have some kind of system where a SMAUGfuss MUD could be more or less seamlessly moved from the current system to a Lua system. Unfortunately I'm not sure how feasible that is, although it would probably work in most cases. But what do you mean about having it only at first and then dumbing it down later? |

| | Well normally when one thinks of backwards capabilty you think of having it work with older verison of said thing. I was implying why not just get it working the way you think it should with the stock, and then if it was needed on older ones, to dumb it down to have it work in the older verisons after the orginal is finished? I donno exactly how things work, but thats usually what I think of when I hear backwards capability. |

| | Oh... no, by backwards compatibility I mean letting old mudprog scripts work in the new version. (Backwards compatibility means that older things (e.g. data) still work in the new version of the program, not that the new one works in older versions.) |

| | Couldn't you just make something to automatticly change the bulk of the old mess and convert it to the new? Then what really cant be converted give instruction on how to convert it. Or is trying to convert it to much, and wanting to keep things "ease" have to make it read the ifs and all that from the old system... |

| That was my plan, yes, to automatically convert everything that can be reasonably converted. I would need to write a small program that parses mudprog and outputs equivalent Lua. Hopefully, all constructs will be convertable; mudprog doesn't do anything terribly complicated.
My hunch at the moment is that I should cross this bridge when I come to it. It might turn out that this is really easy to do; or, it might turn out that it's so complicated that it'd be better to just rewrite things in Lua. The syntax is very similar, after all. |
