Know what would be boss?
« on: February 27, 2009, 10:24:06 pm »

A Dwarf Fortress MUD.

Text only, no visuals, a world made of a local area map and with each tile counting as one "room".  Players get to wear clothes, equip axes and picks, and build walls, items, furniture and other things just like in the DF universe, leveling their skills up and increasing their chances of making a masterpiece.  Together, the player dwarves work on building a fortress.

After a set number of dwarves have registered and shown themselves to be fairly active, the option to spawn as a goblin guest becomes available, where you play an expendable goblin attempting to invade the fortress and kill the dwarves.

OK, so I'm just dreaming.  But still!   ;D

 Although to be fair I have not kept up with it for some time.

I would bet money Andrew has edited things retroactively, except I can't prove anything because it was edited retroactively.

^What he said.

I guess I should mention that most of that thread is horribly outdated, as Lord Dullard kind of disappeared and I decided to pick it up using a codebase I was a little more familiar with. It's currently in a very alpha-ey stage of development.

Getting timeout on the MUX.  Too bad.  :(

Timeout? What's the exact error?

Also, it's technically a MUD, now.

EDIT: Oh, I have a feeling you're trying to connect to the old server that Lord Dullard was hosting. You should instead connect to the server/port in my signature.

Well, I intend to write up some help files once the game is, you know, somewhat near completion.
If you want a list of most of the available commands, type "help commands". That's not all of them due to the way commands are handled in some circumstances, but it's all of the most common ones.
