Nightmare-Redux is a fork of the original Nightmare-Redux GitHub repository, with changes specific to supporting MBBSEmu. Specifically, this version of Nightmare-Redux uses The MajorBBS Emulation Project's custom Btrieve Driver (WBTRV32) which allows Nightmare-Redux to utilize the upgraded SQLite versions of the MajorMUD Btrieve DAT files.
The latest releases of Nightmare-Redux (MBBSEmu Edition) can be downloaded here.
The changelog has been moved to CHANGELOG.md
Getting Nightmare-Redux to build is a bit like opening a time capsule because it's written in Visual Basic 6. Because of this, below is the list of steps required to getting Nightmare building on your machine. Some of the files/patches required were a little difficult to find, because of this we've placed them in the DEPENDENCIES folder within the repository in case any of the below links are dead in the future.
