MrAdventure MUD Engine

Post by MarauderIIC »

edit/bump. new news, some progress, and stuff.
No way to bring you back to life if you die atm unless you're an admin, so cast fhqwhgads (c fhq works) before you die. Or make a new char and cast fhqwhgads on "yourself". Cast fhqwhgads on an npc if you don't want to wait for a repop. Of course, fhqwhgads is a development-cycle-only spell and will eventually go away.

Some temporary spells:
fireball
cure
fhqwhgads
Syntax: cast <spellname> <target>
Example: c f bob (cast fireball bob)
Example2: c fh (cast fhqwhgads) heals you 100%
Example3: c fh arce (cast fhqwhgads arce) heals arce 100%

A few commands:
engage
cast
look
north/south/east/west
say (room-wide)
chat (global)
tell (personal)
help
save
quit (autosaves, but crashes will not save your char)
savenamecase
help commands for an old list

Note all these cmds can be abbreviated. It searches through all possible cmds and finds the first one that starts w/ the same few letters as other thing.

One block west of your starting room is the zone I (except for one room) made. Your starting room and east of it is an incomplete zone made by Phelios. (Mine is better :) )

MUD, as in Multi-User Dungeon

It's an online text adventure engine, essentially. Save, load, combat, experience, npcs, room/world/zone editors, info send/recv via sockets, lots of other stuff that don't immediately pop into my brain... which is why it's 16k lines and not done yet. :) http://www.thechaosrift.com/marauderiic/ has some news and more archived news.
...which I forgot to link on my sidebar and will probably forget to do.

Here's a direct link.

If anyone wants to see what I have, be prepared that it probably won't meet your expectations for that many lines of code.
You'll need a MUD client like, um, gMUD or MudMagic (Requires Python. I don't know if I fixed the free unsupported zMUD issues or not. But the 30-day trial of the newest ver should work fine... if you want to do that.

And if you don't like reading or typing, you *probably* shouldn't bother.

Also, note that when/if you make a new char, the passwords are stored in plain-text on my computer. So don't use the same password that you use for your bank account. Also, note it's still in alpha.. or beta... or something. So, if it crashy, it's half-expected and please note what you did. Even though I have a decent log of stuff, it doesn't always catch everything.

When/if you want to try it, contact me on MSN or AIM and I'll run the server program for you.

I will not help you figure out how to work a MUD client. So don't post here asking. They're pretty easy, but if you just can't, use your own resources. Like google. Or the help file.

Does a MUD client enable you to connect without typing IPs or something... just wondering. But your game does sound Koo, I'm going to have to make an online game someday.

In a MU* client your text input is separated from the remote system's
output so that it will not be disturbed by incoming data; moreover,
it's a fully editable environment so you can check out your command before
hitting the ENTER key.

WOW are you going to make MUD or use the IP address.

What? MUD is the type of game. It has nothing to do with IP addresses.
