SIMud release. Snowstorms reported in Hell.

January 31st, 2011

It has finally happened.

After a long period of wrangling with bugs, dealing with server drama, and some finalizing purges of walraven specific theme stuff, SIMud is finally open to the world.

Downloaders, go nuts.

Take heed:

This is still alpha mode code, and there’s going to be pieces missing since I had to gut some stuff that was taken out.

The license is Creative Commons 3.0 Attribution + Share-alike. If you would like different licensing terms, please go to to talk to the admins about it. They may elect to make concessions upon request.

Requirements:
LDMud 3.4.2
a generously beefy config file

Note that there’s a lot of functionality that was walraven specific that had to be censored, and things are almost certainly going to be broken.

For the time being, to make yourself an admin, you’ll need to patch the /bin/wiz/addwizard.c command to skip the ADM_CHECK, add yoruself as a level 1000 wizard, and then add the admin check back.

With a little bit of TLC, installation will be less of a hassle soon enough, but with limited resources, a raw unsanded release was better than nothing.

Duke Nukem Forever has taught me not to get bogged down in perfection.
