DoorMUD stuff in the works [Archive] - ForumsHQ

Built-in RLOGIN server. This means you could directly run the game from WorldGroup (!!!)[/b] without needing a Synchronet door server. It also means that you could set up an INTER-BBS networked DoorMUD game, with like 10 different WorldGroup boards feeding into the same game. This would create a much larger player pool, with many boards feeding into a single game, there'd be a lot more players on-line.



Since WG's rlogin is still buggy, you wouldn't be able to put DoorMUD rlogin on the same computer as WorldGroup, which still kinda stinks. But since it'd be inter-bbs, only 1 sysop (per league/network) would need to be running the server on a separate computer. The other sysops wouldn't need to install anything at all, they'd just hook into it with rlogin.



RAWK! Now im very close to buying doormud, if lunars still up when its released ill be buying me a copy :D

so contradictory...



you're the same person who said that the game isn't designed for scripts (i know you meant scripting like majormud style, but scripts nonetheless :P)



also, up to 5 rings, but you said on the website that you rarely see more than 1 per game...



Well, it says rarely more than 1 per game, because the Goblin King's item drops from a 100% rate to a 1% rate after the first one... so after one ring is already out, you either have to be REAL lucky to get another ring (happens sometimes), or you can script that room...:)





and the first rings.. unlim?[b]



Yep, the ring of necromancy, ruby-studded ring, and ring of warlords are all very unlim, and are fairly easy to get :P



[b]plus that bbs u showed has 300MF per day, WAY too much



That I'd agree with, but apparently it made the game very active (shrug?) The sysop is buying Pro soon, hopefully he will raise the experience tables to 2x or 3x so that players don't max out too fast w/ 300 MF.

Thanks :) But again, it'll be a long while until the recoded version with rlogin and telnet is released... will be quite a large project.



Design stages are going well though, I know exactly what I need to code as well as how to do it, it's just gonna take a long while to actually do all that coding.

Bump.

If it was stand alone like the Trade Wars server I would buy it. Granted you couldn't run on the same machine if you wanted to use it with WG, but you could have it on a seperate port and just let people telnet accordingly. Hopefully make the port adjustable as well by the sysop. Something we have all wanted MajorMUD to do from the get go.



example:



chaosbbs.kicks-ass.org:2002 <-TradeWars

chaosbbs.kicks-ass.org:23 <-MajorMuD

chaosbbs.kicks-ass.org:21 <-Doormud

chaosbbs.kicks-ass.org:80 <-Official Website
