--- PATCH INSTRUCTIONS FROM v2.6 TO v2.7 The bulk of the patch from version 2.6 to 2.7 is pretty easy. First, back up your lib and src folders. Next, simply enter your MUD's root directory (the one that has the src/ and lib/ and doc/ directories) and then run the patch file: patch -p0 < nakedmudv2.6-to-nakedmudv2.7.patch You will also have to start and shut down your MUD once for the patch to take full effect. In v2.7, we introduced new conventions for storing world data. When you start up the MUD for the first time, it will automatically convert all of your old world data to meet the new standards. This is especially important if you will be patching up to an even newer version (if one is available), because it is not gauranteed that the conversion utilities will be present in later versions of NakedMud.
