Okay, so I spent some time fiddling with this thing people call ‘mollygun’. Heard about it, sounded kinda interesting, so thought I’d give it a shot myself.
Getting Started
First off, I had to actually get my hands on the files. Wasn’t too hard, just grabbed what I needed. Then came the part of figuring out where the heck this stuff was supposed to go. You know how it is, sometimes instructions are clear, sometimes they’re just a mess. Mine were… well, let’s just say I had to guess a bit.
I backed up my original stuff first, always do that. Learned that lesson the hard way a long time ago. Dropped the ‘mollygun’ files into what I thought was the right place. Fired things up, hoping for the best.
Hitting Problems
And… nothing. Or, well, not what I expected. Things looked weird, maybe a little glitchy. Definitely not the smooth operation I was hoping for. So, back to the drawing board. I started poking around the config files that came with it. Just text files, mostly.
- Checked the paths, made sure they pointed where they should.
- Looked for any obvious typos or mistakes I might have made copying stuff.
- Tried changing a few settings, one by one, to see if anything made a difference.
Still no luck. It was frustrating, you know? You spend time on something, you expect it to just work, or at least fail in an obvious way. This was just… meh. I shut it down, walked away for a bit. Sometimes staring at it just makes it worse.
Figuring It Out (Sort Of)
Came back later, tried searching around for anyone else who had similar issues. Didn’t find an exact match, but saw some chatter about compatibility. Maybe the version I had didn’t play nice with my setup. That seemed plausible.
So, I dug around for an older version of ‘mollygun’. Found one, repeated the whole process. Backup, delete the new stuff, drop in the older files, cross my fingers.
This time, it was different. It actually loaded up properly. Looked right. I tested the main function, whatever you want to call it, and yeah, it did the thing. Not perfectly, maybe a bit rough around the edges, but it worked.
Final Thoughts
So, yeah. Got ‘mollygun’ running in the end. Took more messing about than I thought it would. Seems like compatibility, especially with versions, was the main headache. It’s often the simple stuff, isn’t it? Glad I stuck with it, even though it was a bit of a pain. It does what I wanted it to, mostly. Good enough for now.
