MEKMUD / News: Recent posts

Yes I know MEKMUD has been lying dead like a stranded fish for the last couple of months. I've had some *other* things to attend... I have started working on the code again and hope to make a new release in a couple of weeks.
It is my hope that this next release will feature a fully functional network kernel, which only needs a command interpreter, a character/combat/spell-system and world to be a complete mud.

I have released a copy of the source as it is by now. It should be stable but rather useless... I just made this release because I realy don't have the time to work on any code at the moment, so I figured I might as well show you what I got.
This new kernel should by my opinion be quite a bit more flexible and comprehensive and any old code used in the earlier kernel should be easily ported to this new version as soon as I get to work :)... read more

I'm experimenting with a new core/kernel of the mekmud engine, with a more comprehensive and thought through design. It will feature a lot of code from the old engine but the over all scheme will look different.
The main goal of this is to make the network-kernel totally independant of all classes not specificly designed for the kernel. The files for the kernel will be placed in a directory called mekmud/net and if my vision succeds other programmers need never look in this directory and can go on hacking away on any world specific code without worrying about any networking at all.

Yes I've just submitted a new release that allows you to move around in a three room world. You are actually able to talk to other players if any are present with you! The do commands should also be working like: "do smile kamstrup" result in
You smile at kamstrup (on you screen)
<activator> smiles at kamstrup (to all in same room)

greetings

Yes the mekmud0.1.2 should be ready for download by now. Go to our files section and download it now you lazy %$@?*!

As soon as I have finished my exams I will release a more up to date version of the source with a few bug fixes, full alias support and a few new commands (maybe command completion..? Don't know yet). Expected around 15-18 january.

The first release should be ready online by now, it does not include much but atleast it shows that something is happening :)

The first source release will be in a matter of days.
