kruton/tinyfugue - Githubissues

Unicode notes: "Release" is the branch you want. On Debian or Ubuntu, make sure you apt-get libicu-dev before running ./configure. There is a known and easily triggered bug: The backspace, delete, and arrow keys move by bytes, not by characters. For now, editing a line with multibyte characters will send XML hexadecimal escape codes if unencodeable bytes are in the input box. I will gladly accept pull requests.

Setting your terminal to send ^H instead of ^? for backspace mitigates some, but not all of the backspace issues.

For servers that don't negotiate charsets, /set default_charset=NAME before defining a world with /addworld or /test addworld(). I recommend putting /set default_charset=Latin-1 at the top of your worlds.tf.

                   INSTALLING TINYFUGUE

TinyFugue can be installed and run on UNIX-like systems, Mac OS X, and Win32. For instructions, see the README file in the appropriate directory. For information on unofficial versions of TF for other operating systems, see the TF web page at http://tinyfugue.sourceforge.net/.

"Make" options

Options are not available on all systems. To use an option, give it as an argument to the installation program (e.g., "make clean").

all Compile, but do not install (the "install" option should be run later to install the files). install Compile (if you haven't already) and install. The default installation locations depend on the operating system. clean Remove object files and other junk from source directory. uninstall Remove tf executable, help files, and library from their installed locations.

Public Installation

Some features of TF can be disabled for secure public installation, by using one of these /restrict commands in %{TFLIBDIR}/local.tf:

/restrict SHELL  Prevents all access to shell or external commands.
                 Disables TF builtins "/sh" and "/quote !", and
                 uncompression during /load and /help.

/restrict FILE   Prevents reading and writing of files.  Disables
                 TF builtins "/load", "/save", "/saveworld", "/log",
                 and "/quote '", and sockmload feature.
                 Implies /restrict shell.

/restrict WORLD  Prevents the user from defining new worlds and
                 connecting to undefined worlds.  TF builtins
                 /addworld and the "/world <host> <port>" semantics
                 are disabled.  Implies /restrict file.

Terminal Handling

If the default terminal handling option does not work, tf can be configured to use vt100 codes or nothing at all. See the README file in the subdirectory corresponding to your operating system.

Compression

If you are short on disk space, you can compress the helpfile and library files (except stdlib.tf). Make sure the COMPRESS_SUFFIX and COMPRESS_READ macros are set correctly; set them in the %{TFLIBDIR}/local.tf file if needed. Note that compresion can not be used if /restrict is used.

Firewalls

TF can be made to connect through a generic proxy server by setting the %proxy_host variable at runtime. See "/help proxy".

Also see the README file in the subdirectory corresponding to your operating system to see if tf has transparent firewall support on your system.

Last Resort

If you have an installation problem or other system-specific problem that is not described in this README or the README in the subdirectory for your system, contact the person who supports TF on your system. If you have a problem that is not system-related, ask for support on http://tinyfugue.sourceforge.net/ or contact the author by email at kenkeys@users.sourceforge.net. Please provide the following information:

The version of TF (type "/version" in tf).
The operating system version (on unix, type "uname -a" in the shell).
If tf won't compile, send the output of configure and make (in plaintext
    form, please).
If you have a bug or core, give ALL error messages from tf.
If you have a bug or core, describe what you did or what happened
    before the problem, and if the problem is repeatable.
If you have a core file, do NOT send it.

Porting

I have no personal interest in Mac OS 9, DOS, Windows 95, Windows NT, or Amiga, so I don't plan on porting to them. However, I am willing to work with someone who wants to try and is willing to follow my guidelines. Basically, this means keeping the platform-specific code seperate and to a minimum, and not adding new features.
