Ok, I downloaded SWRFUSS and It didnt have an .exe file so I just used the StarWars_W32Binary one (StarWarsSmaug.exe) and I put it in my Area folder. When it runs, it hits a bug at space.are and says

File: space.are LINE: 8917
Bug: Get_obj_index: bad vnum 38
Boot: Load_resets: space.are (1) '0": object 38 doesn't exist
File: space.are LINE:8918
Bug: Fread_number: bad format. (M)

Like I said, I'm pretty new to this, I used regular SMAUG for a while and had no problems starting it up like this.

Edit: I went to those lines in CodeGenie and all that was there was

LINE: 8917 #32416
8918 Floating in a void~

You can't expect one version's executable to work with another version's area files! :)

If it didn't come with an .exe file, then you need to compile the executable from the source.

SWRFUSS, and the other FUSS packages, are intended to be compiled using Cygwin. Not run using a 4 year old precompiled binary. You destroy any point in gaining the benefit of bugfixes if the binary isn't compiled from the existing source.
