  1. NakedMud is a project I started up to keep myself entertained, and fool around
  2. with a couple ideas I could not work with on the MUD I run. The basic idea
  3. behind NakedMud is to provide users with a solid engine for running a MUD, but
  4. without the content that goes along with it.
  5. I really know little about socket handling, and every time I've looked at the
  6. topic, I cringe in horror. That is the reason NakedMud was built on top of
  7. SocketMud(tm); SocketMud(tm) was essentially a glorified chat client when I got
  8. it, which suited my purposes perfectly, since it had all of the socket work
  9. done, leaving all of the fun stuff for me to fool around with. Many thanks go
  10. out to Brian Graversen for writing and releasing SocketMud(tm) to the public.
  11. The origional SocketMud(tm) README has been appended below.
  12. For instructions on getting the MUD up and running, see startup.txt

  17. SocketMud version 1.9
  18. Little mud project, which has a command interpreter and supports
  19. ANSI colors... has a nifty little help file system, and a few
  20. commands (say, quit, who, etc). Also supports MCCP version 1 and 2.
  21. I have used a few snippets of Erwin Andreasen's, so if you use this
  22. codebase for something, remember to keep the credits to him, he
  23. deserves it.
  24. Simply type 'make' in the ../src/ directory, and start the mud
  25. by typing './SocketMud &'. You can now connect by telnetting
  26. to port 9009 on localhost (or whatever machine it runs on).
  27. All parts of the SocketMud code written by me, that is contained
  28. in this distribution, is considered public domain, and may be used
  29. as you see fit - but do remember to give credit for Erwin's codebits,
  30. even though they are considered PD as well.
