Heya,

ok as you may or may not know - i am the creator of the siegewars wargames. We also host and have some of our own muds.

Our current project is as follows :

we are working on an automatic mud character creation program from within a ASP page. Basically my game players create a character and kingdom in the siegewars wargame and a character in one of our muds (testmud atm) is automatically created. At the moment we are trying to use code to create this character file in the player directory.
so the player can then have a character on a mud indentical to the one in the wargame.

problem is : ive got the file creation working but it creates a textfile with a .pl ending. When i try to log into the mud using this newly created file from siegewars. it doesnt recognise it.

our code to create a player file is :

filename=Server.mappath("\data\mud\ROMcodebase\player") & "\" & (charactername) &".pl"
Set fs = Server.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set file = fs.OpenTextFile(filename,8,true)
file.writeline "#PLAYER"
file.write "Name "
file.write charactername
file.writeline "~"
file.writeline "Id 1057789604"
file.writeline "LogO 1057791720"

file.writeline "End"
file.writeline
file.writeline "#END"

file.Close
set file=nothing
set fs=nothing

as you can see we are mainly writing text to a text file with a .pl ending. the above code at the moment only contains the variables for charactername and password which are created from the wargame.

obviously i dont think we are in the right direction. any pointers? possibly changing opentextfile to something else?

the above does indeed create the following :

ive just realised something :

note :

Id 1057789604

i guess this is unique to the mud and generated by it to make it unique?

dont suppose i can solve this easily from outside the mud?
