[Encore] [EnCore] EnCore 4 to 5

[Kevin Jepson]

Hi Jean-Marc
 
The command you want is "@dump with create"
 
That will dump out the properties and verbs with the appropriate creation
commands.
 
If you add "id=xxx" after create the commands will dump out with "xxx"
instead of the object number then you can globally replace the "xxx" with
the new object number in a text editor before pasting it back into the MOO.
 
At least that is how I would do it using atelnet client in V3-4 :-)
 
Good luck with V5 keep us in the loop.
 
Ciao
KJ

Hey!

I just switched from Encore 4 to Encore 5, so I might have a number of
questions coming up. Here are some:

1. What are some easy ways to transfer objects over from 4 to 5, without the
upgrade patch? I just want to transfer over some specific objects, not the
whole thing, so that's why I don't want to do an upgrade. I tried @dump-ing
an object, but that only set properties and verbs for an object that exists,
it doesn't have the code to properly create the object and its
verbs/properties first.

2. How do I get TraceBacks running again? In 4, whenever something went
wrong, it would do a whole TraceBack .... thing of the errors so I could see
what's going on. 5 doesn't seem to be doing that, which is really annoying,
because then I have no idea what's actually going on...

3. Any quick way of putting the programming pages back to frames, like they
used to be? I find the new way a little annoying- I set my editor_box_size
to big, because there wasn't enough space before, but now whenever I load up
a verb with more code, I have to keep scrolling down pretty far just to
choose another verb or property... anyway to get it back to frames really
quickly?

I'll have more questions I'm sure... That's it for now though!

Thanks!
