Walraven/SIMud

There has been a healthy level of activity recently. GPF/Shentino has made a few fixes to Witac and I know Acius has done… something.

Apart from my posts here and lots of discussions with community members, I’ve just launched a pair of new (big) features.

irc gateway

I still consider this highly experimental, but it seems to be working very reliably so far.

The mud is logging in to #walraven on freenode.

All IRC channel traffic is echoed to the mud’s main chat line - and vice versa. Login/logout messages are also echoed. IRC messages on mud chat are prepended by an @. Mud chat is all echoed to IRC by the SIMudBot user.

The bot is capable of providing a list of players currently logged in to the mud, but otherwise doesn’t do much else (apart from the whole chat echo relay thing, :P). Just /msg simudbot who to give it a try.

forum browser

The old forums are dead and buried. But they contained years of conversation and mountains of useful information. In stead of trying to export all of that data into some other format, I’ve built a simple forum browser site at mud.simud.org/forums. It’s not terribly user friendly… but it will help us dig up old posts for export to the codex/wiki or trac or whatever.
