Title: MUD Enthusiasts
Post by: AendarCallenlasse on October 21, 2004, 05:27:23 am
Well earlier today I got a little bored and decided to start my own MUD.  I\'ve already got the server set up and ready, but what I need are people who would like to be Builders.  Experience is preferred but it\'s not required and I don\'t mind showing people the ropes.

For those not interested in actually helping build the MUD, I do have need for artists, designers, idea makers, webhost, etc.

This isn\'t going to be a huge project, just something for other PS users to play in there meantime and you are all welcome to make suggestions and give your input and ideas.

To get a hold of me you can contact me on AIM (Idollic), MSN (Idollic@hotmail.com), or in IRC (irc.greenhouse-irc.net #PSMUD) and I will give you further details.

Before I start jumping for joy *still holding it in* I need to ask what Base you are using, Circle, ROM, SMAUG, etc...
I am currently learning how to build in Circle3+ and I need a good place to get some \'real\' experience. I think the text editor and \'redit\' are the same for most of the bases though so. Yea, I\'m a huge MUDer.

xpytz at yahoo . com:)
I\'ll try and contact you some time this weekend but I think we are in offset timezones.

Yeah it\'s a learning experience for me as well.  I\'ve been a builder on other MUDS before but I\'ve never had to create one from scratch.

Oh and I\'m GMT -5.

Moogie said she wants to be teh artist if you want....and stuff


and i can be web host if you like provided you dont plan to take up all of my space :P

Post by: AendarCallenlasse on October 22, 2004, 03:48:26 am
Well great, tell Moogie to get in touch with me.

As far as webhosting goes all I need is basically an info site for the MUD, listing races (Plus there pics, Moogie :)), help files, etc.

For those of you interested in just taking a look the address is ---- .  Keep in mind that what you will be seeing in there is what came with the servercode and it will be changed.

If I\'m not in there I\'m probably taking a break :]

192.168.*.* are class C ip addresses, which means that no one can access your mud that way. go to 192.168.1.1 and log into your router and look at the status page to find your IP, and then look for port forwarding and forward port 4000 outside tcp to port 4000 on 192.168.1.104 inside tcp

EDIT: from here: http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/aggr/vpn5000/5000sw/conce60x/5000cfg/ipaddr.htm

 Private Networks

If you need large numbers of addresses on your network, and they do not need to be routed on the Internet, you can use private IP addresses that the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) recommends. The following address ranges are designated as private networks that should not be advertised:

    * 10.0.0.0 through 10.255.255.255
    * 172.16.0.0 through 172.31.255.255
    * 192.168.0.0 through 192.168.255.255

Uh...I\'m really stoked at the thought of lookin in on your MUD but I don\'t actually see an address in your post...Maby you can Email it to me...err, somethin\'...I don\'t know.

Post by: Moogie on October 22, 2004, 01:35:17 pm
He needs to sort out his host first I think, XpYtZ. :P

As for the art, I\'m interested, but it depends what sort of thing you need. For one, I simply cannot draw enviroments... but monsters and some character race portraits should be okay. You\'ll probably have to hire a couple more people for that stuff.

Good luck btw, and remember: PS used to be a MUD anyway. :D

Ok thanks to josePhoenix\'s help and patience ^^  I have the MUd up and connectable.

Address is  68.51.140.115:4000

If you connect right now you will be able to create a char and do the training.  If you log out and come back in you be sent to Limbo as the defualt spawn point doesn\'t exist yet.

Moogie:  That\'s good since it\'s only the races/classes/mobs that I need art for :)

Post by: Krahan on October 23, 2004, 04:22:08 am
i can come up with some races/classes and maybe provide info on them if you need
Title:
Post by: AendarCallenlasse on October 23, 2004, 04:25:32 am
You\'re welcome to if you like.  I might set up some forums (As long as Sep gives the OK) so things like that can be posted in a seperate place.

I want the MUD to be very diversified.  A varying list of races/classes so there is more room for uniqueness between characters.

Info on them would be nice too, as each races will have a homeland and history/religions/lifestyles.
Title:
Post by: Krahan on October 23, 2004, 05:29:46 am
what different stats are there? intelligence, strength etc.

just so i can give the races/classes they\'re stats.
Title:
Post by: AendarCallenlasse on October 23, 2004, 05:33:46 am
Try to avoid double-post ;)

STR (Strength)
DEX (Dexterity)
WIS (Wisdom)
INT (Intelligence)
CON (Constitution)
CHA (Charisma)
LCK (Luck)

Post by: Syzerian on October 23, 2004, 07:04:35 am
Ok here are some races I thought up

Gramuslak
The same build and size of your average humanoid with tanned skin.
Has holes in the side of the head for ears and their hair grows in a mohawk type style from the fringe all the way down the spine.
Has 3 fingers and toes, none of them have toe/finger nails.
2 tusk like horns extend from behind the shoulders and curl slightly around the waist. In males the horns extend down both side of the back but in females they extend around the front covering up the chest and the horns usually have hairs on females.
The horns prevent these humanoids from using standard armors.
They have many tatooes over their face and chest.
They are masters of magic.

Amlar
Lizard like humanoid slightly smaller than most other races and usually have orangey red skin.
Because they blink horizontally their eyes appear to be longer vertically like a normal humans eyes usually look longer horizontally.
They are thin just above the hips as most of their organs are compacted into their upper chest.
Females have a tentacle like limb extending from the back of the head where as males do not.
They have 2 tails each about the length of their legs.
They specialise in luck and the use of blunt weapons.

Excellent.  I MUST play this MUD.  I dun have any idea how to build them though.  (I\'m ashamed...I call myself a programmer.)  I love to watch games progress from their early stages onwards...

Post by: josephoenix on October 23, 2004, 05:35:02 pm
Since nefron left me with a dead ps-mc.com, I decided to borrow a subdomain entry..

you can now connect to aendar\'s mud using the address aendar.ps-mc.com:4000

If you want, Aendar, I can give you forums or a nuke news portal for the mud.

Hmmm forums would be great.

Sep offered to host a site for us though, but we can put up the forums elsewhere.

DarkLink21: As I said everyone is welcome to suggest things and help out, feel free to do so.

i have a question, i haven\'t had a chance to look but is this a text based mud or graphical?
Title:
Post by: Seytra on October 24, 2004, 12:17:22 am
Are there even graphical MUDs? I thought that text-basedness was one of the main defining properties of MUDs...
Title:
Post by: Moogie on October 24, 2004, 03:48:08 am
i can set you up a forum as well no problem just send me what you want me to upload and what you want the file to be called

(edit) Dammit must she always log me out -.-

runescape is a graphical MUD, because technicly your not roleplaying.
Title:
Post by: XpYtZ on October 25, 2004, 09:20:48 am
Hu\'what???! What does \'not roleplaying\' have to do with MUDing?
I don\'t usually do anything but RP in a MUD, what else is there to do?
But yes, there are Graphical MUDs. They usually look like the old Text Based+Still Image games that you might have played on your (or you fathers) 486. They are ok but not as popular as the good MUDs that are out there.
Oh and if you want a real laugh you should check out http://www.simutronics.com. They still charge to play there MUDs.  :D
Title:
Post by: Krahan on October 26, 2004, 12:24:52 am
i meant that people call some MUD\'s rpg\'s and they are graphical, but since you are not actually roleplaying it is a MUD. So it is a graphical MUD.
Title:
Post by: AendarCallenlasse on November 02, 2004, 03:23:30 am
Graphical MUDs are simply MUDs, but with a picture of where you are, character avatars, etc.  It\'s still a text-based game though.

Krahan: It\'s non-graphical.

Sorry for lack of updates.  Between working and testing CB I haven\'t had much time to post.

We have new builders:
Lhoran (XpYtZ)
Valas (RL Bro)

We\'ve had quite a few connections as well.  Record total of players online at one time is 9.

Currently there isn\'t much to play, only the Beginner areas, but there are three cities in progress and they will be available to the public soon.

And positions are all open.  Hopefully we\'ll have a site and forums up soon.

Post by: Adeli on November 03, 2004, 05:55:47 pm
This is a nice idea, I\'ll let you know if I can help in any way Aendar.
Best of luck to you and your project.
