BTMux Admin Guide

From BattletechMUX

Welcome to the BattletechMUX Administrator's Guide, what will eventually be a more or less one-stop guide for topics such as starting, coding, and working on a BattletechMUX. We will cover SoftCode topics, dip into HardCode, and provide a selection of tips, hints, and advice along the way. If you have any questions about the material within this guide, don't hesitate to stop by the BTMux Portal and ask questions.

Good luck!
