Love it :-)

take it that it will be a lovely textual MuD :-)


quests? or shall it be another blackfire ? :-) Kill kill Xp level reached Kill Kill Xp level reached :-)
Kewl... what MUD engine are you thinking of using? or shall you just be making up your own one?

Son of Blam

I know around three (3) (III) people that would be really interested in playing a MUD.

Lord knows it's the only thing we can do in work on these **** comps.

muds are a good laugh,but you need proper quests as khan said.

blackfire just got sooo boring.
also in blackfir the high level charcters used to get cool equipment etc and give it to the low level charcters.although that was very nice of them,it kind of defeated the point of players advancing and earning such equipment and items for themselves.

Black fire was a joke ... you could just put on a loop script and your char would play away by him self :-)

Think I still have a level 35 Rogue on blackfire :-)

Well I can get you a good few players from the Games Society here in UL... ( although I can't vouch for their sanity, they spent SoUL week running around playing Sega Lockon :-)

although if you are looking for Admins I'm free I spent my days in UL here check out PA and just sitting on Boards :-)

At the moment I LITERALLY have a blank world.. Nothing set up at ALL yet...

So it will really be whatever we make it

Da Bounca

whats the story then,is this MUD going to happen?

Gambler

Yep, I have the server up and am currently looking for wizards to build the world (at the moment there is a room. It is very dark. That is literaly the entire mud world

Let me know if you have ever used a mush before and have even a basic idea of Mush World-Building

Gambler

Lord Khan

MUSH what are we dogs :-)

could be worse could be a Moo or MuX ... just off to visith the Moo for a while

I'm really getting up into this MuX

I prefer muds really ... MUSH are all wizzie based ... where's the random acts of senseless violence
but anything this means
'Multi-User Shared Hallucination'
can't be too bad :-) hehehe but don't you think a MUSH is a bit too much to start off with :-) and a connection addy would be nice code you up a nice box :-)

Gambler

Horny -> T'is FREE!!! all you need is a telnet client :-)

Only prob with that is that it has NO Graphics at all.. we are talking Text based Gaming at its most hard-core :-)

mud ?

Dustaz

omg, all these people saying 'Whats a mud'...if only you knew what your about to get yerself into
Gambler, if your just setting it up for the craic, theres a sh1tload of stock DIKU zones out there , that can be put into a naked diku engine straight away. Just tweak the weapons and things to match your limits and ye have instant mud
Is there a box up with a login address?

*edit* I know some of the guys here used to play Valhalla. Well theres a nice new mud based on the VME (Diku II) with some interesting guild and racial ideas -
ravennar.com 4242
Gambler, you should have a look at the VME, its the best engine out there.

That's it. It also stands for Multi User Dungeon.

What is the story with this idea anyway. Is it up and running or still in the planning stages.

:-P some of the rest of us offered ages ago

last MUD i ran was here in UL and I kill -9 it after everybody use just meet in the same room and try and kill each other "attack everybody" ... had more PK's in 10 minutes than some MUD's have in years

Gambler

Cavern, Waterfall?? "You are in a Dark Room" Is all I got, yours sounds much better than mine

Seriously though.. Do any of you lot have a favourite engine I can download and you are all comfortable with?

Gamb

Lord Khan

there are hundreds of engines around

but please please please not DikuMUD or SKmud those are really annoying to start of
on big training arena and some how very little interaction

Circlemud is the most common and pretty nice to use for starting up.

although some servers like blackfire just have straightforward RPG no quests though and PK'ing, just logged back into blackfire atm and haven't been there in over a year and found my char is still alive and well :-)
well gonna keep playing with him now I know he is alive

I'd be willing to have a go at it.

Not sure about any engine but
http://imaginaryrealities.imaginary.com/index.html has some good articles and links about makeing and running a mud

Yeah, Diku II (VME) is by far the best, as was already mentioned.
And I have the most insane mud zone known to mankind coded up for it. Valhalla wouldn't take it coz it had too much dil code (and was buggy as fúck). I'll upload the zone (500k) to the web so ye can have a look. It has so much funny stuff in it, pity it never saw the light of day. Here's a sample:

dilbegin recall aware ebola_death();

Sounds like fun...count me in i take it that we are talking along the lines of "You are in a dark cavern and in the distance a waterfall glitters like a thousand jewels" type stuff?
