<h1>What is Dead Souls?</h1>
|
|
<p>
|
|
The Dead Souls MUD Library is a multi-user text based adventure
|
|
creation system. It allows the user to build their own adventure game
|
|
which can be played over the internet simultaneously by many people. It
|
|
is designed for both experienced and beginner MUD admins. The download
|
|
package includes both the UNIX and Microsoft Windows versions.<br>
|
|
</p>
|
|
<h1>Why use Dead Souls?</h1>
|
|
<p>If you love another mudlib, then go ahead and keep using it. We're
|
|
not here to persuade anyone to stop doing what they prefer. Dead Souls
|
|
is targeted at three main audiences:</p>
|
|
<ol>
|
|
<li>People who are new to creating and running a MUD, and need a
|
|
mudlib that is well-coded, well-featured, well-documented, and works
|
|
great right out of the box.
|
|
Dead Souls comes configured with a working combat system, races (with
|
|
limbs and detailed body stats), classes, magic system, emotes, postures
|
|
(even flying), built-in ftp and web servers, menu-driven MUD
|
|
administration tool, intermud network channels, QCS, a sample town
|
|
loaded with examples of objects and quests, banking, economics,
|
|
variable description based on time-of-day, and much, much more.</li>
|
|
<li>People who liked the old Nightmare code base and want to get
|
|
their hands on a lib with the old Nightmare magic that actually works.</li>
|
|
<li>Folks who tried their hand at older, unsupported mudlibs but are
|
|
looking for something more modern and currently maintained.<br>
|
|
</li>
|
|
