[MUD-Dev] Distributed mud, testers needed

[Geir Harald Hansen]

I've been working on a distributed mud server for my thesis.  I've set
up some statistics, counting resource usage.  Maybe it gives me
something to write about in my thesis paper.  Now I need some people
to log in and take a look around, making those numbers move.

If you have a spare moment, direct your mudclient to
tyrfing.ifi.uio.no port 4000.  Type a name and you're in.  As you move
around you may get disconnected after a message like "REDIRECT
levding.ifi.uio.no:4000", which means you need to log in at
levding.ifi.uio.no port 4000 to continue.

If you use Tinyfugue, these macros can automate redirection and login:

  /def -ag -mregexp -t"^REDIRECT (.+):([0-9]+)$" dredir = /connect %P1 %P2
  /def -p900 -h"PROMPT *login: *" dname = /send YOUR-NAME
  /def -p900 -h"PROMPT *Password: *" dpass = /send YOUR-PASSWORD

I don't know how it would look in other mudclients, sorry.

As a side note..  The command parser may also be interesting to try
out.  You can do things like "get the rocks except the tiny pebbles
from the backpack and give them to bubba".  It also supports "get
rocks" and "give rocks to bubba" though.

Feel free to create an extra character to try things out.  Thanks for
visiting :)
