/monster/ - The Last Bastion of Romance★

This is just in: anon killed some rats!

Starting tips after observing some actions:

SAY something - will talk to people in room

CHAT something - will talk in global chat

LOOK or L something - will look at things, look at everything in starter area

HELP and HELP topic - gets you brief help

AUTOEXIT will set game to display exits from room automatically.

AUTOLOOT will make you loot corpses automatically.

AUTOSAC will sacrifice corpses automatically for some free shekels.

WIMPY will set you to automatically run from battle if shit goes south.

KILL or just K someone will start combat.

CONSIDER someone will appropriate the target's level.

More tips:

Don't fight the ghost

You can equip shit with WIELD or WI

Once you hit level 2 you can SAVE which will make the account permanent, if you QUIT before then you will be deleted.

You should kill the rats in tutorial area until you're level 2, go to first ghost and TRAIN CON, WIS and your primary attribute.

REST or R to regain HP and mana, STAND or ST to stop resting.

Look IN things, sometimes there is something useful in containers.

GET things. GET ALL in containers, too.

Once you feel confident you can proceed to end of tutorial area and go up to fight the first grill to get some starting equipment.

MUD!

>>239506 (OP)

So I see the players can get raped, but if a player is strong enough can they rape them back?

And can we make them our wives?

>>239575

>can they rape them back?

Not currently, I'm planning a brothel though.

>can we make them our wives?

Nope, sorry. You can marry other players if you agree on who's gonna be the little girl.

MUD IS OFFLINE UNTIL TOMMOROW

Have to fix few bugs I discovered. Thanks for everyone who tested.

>>239506 (OP)

What is a good MUD client for someone who is completely new to MUDs?

>>239627

Well, there's Mushclient. If you're a shitty apple faggot like myself, there's the Mudrammer app. Uh… The MUD I usually frequent has it's own client so I'm not sure what else there is, but those two have been fairly reliable.

Oh, and I think there's Torch or something for android mobile.

>>239627

Mudlet and GGMud are easiest and most feature rich in general.

I fixed most of the bugs and some area descriptions are now better, MUD will go online in few hours.

MUD IS ONLINE AGAIN

Same server, same port.

What's new:

- tutorial area has more trash mobs

- 0 XP bug was fixed

- HUNT and SCAN commands now work

- AUTOEXIT now shows doors

- some descriptions were fixed a bit

- training ghosts now talk

- warrior and thief passives work correctly

Things in development:

- dual wield for warriors

- mountain area + harpies

- furniture for Jolly centaur

>>239803

>implying you have a chance with kangz

Just give up.

More improvements:

- multibuy

MUD WAS REBOOTED

- multibuy is live, use it with BUY number item

- Jolly centaur barmaid now operates like normal shop, buy your beer

- barstools! They don't do anything…

- dualwield for warriors is in, equip secondary weapon with SECOND

- shopkeepers will tell you their opening hours when you say "open?" to them or any sentence ending with that

- few bugfixes

Can you play muds on a smart phone my comp died and im waiting on parts

I haven't played muds in a while it be cool to get on the ground floor of one

Off topic any mon approved os's?

>>239828

There are some mobile clients listed at http://www.avalon-rpg.com/connect but it obviously isn't pinnacle of comfort.

You should use Slackware, in Bob we trust

>>239829

Kk i connected for a little while but i need to sleep for my night shift ill play more tomorrow when i know i dont have to be up for work

>>239846

You managed to die and shit yourself, anon. You did well.

Mountains and first proper boss almost done.

Dev update:

- mountains done

- harpies and trolls

- boss fight that needs proper party

- MOTHERFUCKING QUESTS!

- small fixes to dualwield and multibuy

MUD will go for reboot in the afternoon, after that changes will be live.

>>239998

Slime and moth girls when?

>>240010

Slimes are already there.

Final progress update before server reboot:

- nocturnal and daytime mobs are in

- surge has been fixed a bit

- questing now awards either level OR experience

- small bugfixes

>>240010

Moths soon (TM)

>>240159

This isn't MUSH, no / before commands.

MUD WAS RESTARTED, CHANGES ARE LIVE

Beware of serious degeneracy in the mountains.

Anubis now offers one quest, SAY QUEST to learn more!

Shit crashed, it should be alright now.

Since I see time after time people dropping dead to the slime girl:

- when you start new character, use AUTOEXIT, AUTOLOOT and AUTOSAC commands immediately. You can turn that off later.

- LOOK at things, CONSIDER enemies

- go kill some bats, rats and roaches until you hit level 2

- at training ghost, TRAIN CON to get more HP

- REST or SLEEP to regain HP

- you can FLEE from combat

- you can ask some NPCs about quests by saying quest in front of them

- to cast spells that have multiple words in name use CAST 'spell name'

- you can improve your spells once you hit level 3, PRACTICE ghost is there for that

- slime girl is just above the practice ghost, she isn't too strong but hits harder than the small critters so be prepared

- once you leave through the small portal next to slime girl you can't return

- if you die your whole inventory drops so you have to make run to your corpse

- your character can't saved until you hit level 2, then you can use the SAVE command

Did quick reboot to fix one bug.

>>240159

MUDs really aren't like roguelikes. They're closer to text MMOs, honestly. Some of them are roguelike in nature, and some of them feature ASCII tileart like traditional nethack, etc. Generally speaking, though, the basis of a MUD can include roguelike elements if it wants to, but it's not necessary.

Also, I noticed the read command not working on some of the written stuff in the tutorial area, but I just chalked that up to the MUD just starting out.

>>240236

There's no READ, only plain old LOOK. This is Merc so basically only standard Diku commands + some extras.

Fixed few areas and did soft restart, if you get kicked out you can just relog.

http://www.raphkoster.com/2009/01/09/what-is-a-diku/

Nice article about Diku, the codebase Merc was directly derived from. Should answer some questions.

I see an Anubis at the temple, but I can't talk to her. I take it you can't talk to NPCs yet?

Is there a way to get back to the ghosts at all? Is there a way to restart your character from the beginning?

>>240312

If you are in the town and need to level up, you go to your respective guild.

How do I check my own stats? Because look doesn't show me what my stats are, and there's no way to check how much gold I have.

>croak in a battle

>try to get to corpse

>night time

>can't buy torches at night

>can't 'get' corpse or pick up items

Fucking hell dude.

Yeah, is there a way to delete your character? Because this has been frustrating experience so far.

There needs to be a way to edit posts. I also noticed that quests don't seem to work, I 'quest' NPCs and I get nothing.

>>240336

The command is score.

Help is a good command to get you started and will give you all the other commands necessary. Just try 'em all out. Don't worry about dying. I'm not sure there's a whole lot in the game right now to worry about losing it. Don't get too attached to your character, either, 'cause changes might come sooner or later. If you're getting frustrated by it, just grind up a bit while doing something else. I got to level 3 in the tutorial area while doing other things at the same time and trounced the slime girl.

The game's still in development, so give it a bit of time--

>pat Lamia

>"You pat Lamia on her ass."

>headpat Lamia

>Huh?

FUCKING GOD DAMMIT FIX YOUR GAME

I do wish there was some faster way to regain mana, though.

I died in the tutorial and now I am somewhere else please advise I am naked and alone.

>>240370

Redo your character and let's go exploring together. I'm a cleric. I think this'll be easier if we do it in a group.

>>240378

Okay I made a thief.

>>240282

She's the one and quest in game so far.

>>240360

Until level 2 character isn't saved at all.

Like the anon above said don't worry too much about dying at this point since there will be a wipe before the next area goes live.

And remember - this game is much closer to EQ than WoW, grouping - FOLLOW and GROUP - is generally a good idea and you will die A LOT.

Dev update:

- food and drink rebalance, now food and drinks fill for longer

- HEADPATS ARE IN!

- opened the boss cave

- low level grinding area just past the city gates

- more quests

- golem sells some torches now

Updates will go live in few hours.

Update goes live in exactly one hour.

Several quests, headpats, new area south of the western city walls one north and one west from city gate, easier grind and especially degenerate sex scenes!

MUD REBOOTED, LAST CHANGES ARE LIVE

Prepare for the unspeakable!

Few more bugfixes and changes about to go live soon, forest area is in progress now.

Fixed the headpats to actually work now, added the donation well to the city square, you can donate random junk with DONATE. You get few coins in return and the donations stay there until server restarts restarts are daily for now.

Had to do a reset so the new values propagate, if you had character - sorry, it's gone.

Ready for deployment:

- random rare loot

- fishing

- questing fixes

In development now:

- forest

- fish

Getting pretty close to the ideal of KOREA GRINDAN.

headpat ghost

You pat her head gently.

Ghost decimates you!

That really did HURT!

You sure are BLEEDING!

Ghost mauls you.

You have been KILLED!!

oh… ok…

>>240636

She saw straight through your degeneracy.

Fixed quests, random rares and fishing is live now but there's no fish.

Reminder:

GROUP up! Being Merc/Diku based, MonMUD is soloable but not solo friendly.

Damn this sounds interesting. I want to play it but I don't know how and am too lazy.

Maybe tomorrow.

>>240735

I'm just watching one guy driving around 4 characters, quite psychedelic experience.

So, I just type the commands and do stuff? I've never played this kind of game before, but it does sounds fun.

>>240743

Imagine Zork, or any text adventure. Now it's multiplayer. That's pretty much how it works.

Dev update:

- forest area with fishing spot will go online today in the evening

- river and boats in planning stage

- combat rape occurrence lowered

- bows and arrows in progress

- more quests

- more dialogue

- slum gang reduced to two slimes

- lamia sells fishing rods now

- random items are more random

- rare drops from monsters are rarer

Public well is now full of various equipment, you could say we have a working wellfare system now.

Going live in few hours:

- archery

- forest and pond

- combat rape reduction

- loot rebalance

- only two slimes at slums

MUD RESTARTED, CHANGES ARE LIVE

- SHOOT skill for thieves - archery!

- mobs in plains had their level reduced a bit

- forest is now live! Follow the road from city to the east

- fish to catch! Only one fishing session per area reset to prevent AFK farms

- combat rape rate reduced

- only two slimes in slums

- loot rolls for higher end loot

Extra quests and dialogue tomorrow.

Fixed the server crashing bug.

>>241089

what happens if you get raped?

>>241133

You will like it.

Since it seems to be needed - walkthrough for tutorial casuals:

- after making character, type in this order AUTOEXIT to see exits, AUTOLOOT to loot everything and AUTOSAC to sacrifice for more shekels also check the story with HELP STORY

- go south and SAY QUEST, anubis will send you to find sacred ashes

- you can get sacred ashes by going down and GET ASH URN, go back to anubis and GIVE ASH ANUBIS, this will yield 1000XP

- now go down and start grind, KILL bats, rats and roaches but keep in mind that they can gang up or run away

- you should hit level 2 in no time - use SC to see your stats, level, XP, gold etc.

- follow the path until you find training ghost, TRAIN CON twice and TRAIN WIS twice to get more HP and training points

- genocide more rats, bats and roaches, you should hit level 3 or get close to it

- REST or SLEEP when low on HP, FLEE when things go wrong in combat

- if you hit level 3 go to practice ghost and PRACTICE some of your skills, for wizard magic missile, for thief dodge, for warrior double attack and for cleric armour or faerie fire

- when you're rested and ready, GO UP from the ghost to face your final trial

- equip your rewards with WIELD and name of the equipment, you can also WIELD ALL to equip things on empty parts of body

- proceed north if you feel ready to leave, if yes then leave east through the portal

Congratulations! You did it! Since you're here you can buy fishing rod from lamia or go north to grind a bit. Next course of action might be buying food from holstaur, some beer in the tavern, torches from holstaur or golem and then going to cemetery to begin the true grind!

To train and practice more find your guild in the city, shouldn't be too hard.

>>241141

I didn't know about that anubis quest. My free EXP is dead.

Alright, after finishing most of the available content, here's what I noticed. This was playing as a warrior, named Corax.

Because of the level up ghosts, you can exploit the wisdom issue immediately by racing to the ghosts and spend the points needed to get wisdom to 17 immediately for more practice points.

When you stated that it's 1 practice point per 4 wisdom, it did not seem to follow that formula, it went more like: 13 wis = 2 points, 15 = 3 points, 17 = 4 points, 19 = 5 points. I confirmed the 5 points with a waistband that boosted wis by 1 since the stat cap is 18.

speaking to stat caps, are all stats capped at 18? I thought you mentioned classes would have a stat that would cap higher than most? War's strength capped at 18.

How weight is handled is weird, I raised con 13 to 14 and I went from 25 items to 32, then raised another point (15) and went from 32 to 33.

The game is dyslexic about seeing my own inventory during night time with no lightsource. Sometimes I get to see all items, sometimes 1 item, or sometimes nothing.

So far these's are the few rares I came acfross

Chest Guard of Strength and Protection from Evil

Spear of Mana

Wristband of Wisdom and Invisibility

I don't think the invisibility part worked.

Now for a question:

What is dexterity's extra role? Does it help with tracking?

>>241357

I might need to lock the train ghost to not work until level 2. But yes it's possible to exploit the wis bonus, I know and I've seen it done. I'll check the nightime inventory, but it's likely caused by something having the glow tag. Dex affects hit chance and some defensive and skill checks.

>>241409

I'm curious about the thief event in town, but I guess that's not fully implemented yet?

River area will go live tomorrow along with island.

Meanwhile in dev:

- corpses for low level players get sent to cemetery for easier gear retrieval

- tattoos for permanent stat boosts they're expensive

- bleeding now actually bleeds

- travel agents for teleporting between cities once second city is open

>>241590

It will be a quest eventually, for now it's just fluff.

After bit of testing - bleeding and tattoos won't be in, bleeding is way too lethal and tattoos way too powerful.

Was bleeding draining health at a very fast rate?

>>241636

More like it was possible to stack multiple bleeds and then they wouldn't heal at all.

Travel agents work now so moving from point A to point B can be solved by throwing money at it now. Dead nigger storage in cemetery is enabled for characters below level 5. I'll push it online in few hours.

When populating the river area I realised there's criminally low amount of sweetwater aquatic grills so I just made some new ones I think.

Look forward to carp mermaid, swan, cancer and oyster grill.

River will go live later today possibly along with the island there were some balance problems.

Prepare for all the fish!

REBOOTED

River area and new quests are live.

Squashed few bugs, island area will go live later tonight or early tomorrow.

Do not trust the Orcs.

>>242134

>not enjoying the snu snu

Wew

>>242143

It's called "saving yourself for someone special". And no, I'm not tsundere.

Island area will go live in the afternoon.

IMPORTANT DESIGN QUESTION

Do we want classic "raids" - as in contained dungeons that need party to clear?

You might need to poke into the meta thread to get a sample group to test the classic raid dungeon setup. But was that the original dungeon setup that was in MUDs?

>>242521

Varied wildly, some MUDs were basically nothing but group content while other were mostly solo friendly. Thinking of average group size of 3-4 people at most.

Server going for reboot, will be live in about hour

Changes:

- small balance fixes

- island area

- the boat can be picked up now

- random loot has rarity levels

- some grills have elite or boss tag that affects drops

- RUN command to move in straight line fasd

- fixes to some quests

MUD ONLINE AGAIN

- island is live, prepare for horrible rape and despair

- RUN command works

- small fixes

- more fish

Can we fug monster girls and one becomes an NPC companion to join on adventures and possibly help in some ways?

Goodbye surge 5 burning hands nuke. I'll miss you.

>>242723

No but you can get fugged by monster girls for now, later once second town is in you buy some as pets, and in third town you will be able to visit brothel.

>>242740

It had to go.

Server was rebooted, surge now consumes mana correctly, crab girls don't leave their designated area, boat weight was reduced to 100kg.

Brewing and scribing will be fixed on next reboot.

I just discovered this, but recall is a command which lets you teleport right back to the healer in Mongria for half your movement points. It can be used mid-combat, but has a higher chance of failure than flee and also consumes more exp.

>>242821

It was meant for newbies but since it has high failure rate and can't be used in combat I decided to leave it unrestricted. I compensate it by not having travel agent in first city.

>>242823

Help text says it can be used in combat.

>>242825

Maybe I didn't disable it. Either way it can end up with your level dropping if you abuse it so it should be fine.

Server shat the bed, I took the chance to do few more fixes. Brew and scribe were disabled it didn't work anyway.

Server's down at the moment again.

Also, the Scyllas keep taking the rafts. Damn tentacle maids.

>>242964

What was the last action you took before crash? Seems that one of the skills is causing it.

>>242989

I've continued using Burning Hands as my main offensive spell. I generally enter Invisibility in hostile areas after picking off one or two mobs. The last thing in my window log is selling random stuff to Sally, then checking my inventory before getting a thirsty notification, where the server cut connection.

Did a reboot, old characters were cleared, seems like there was problem with corrupted save table.

All the grind gone, sorry.

MUD REBOOTED AND STABILISED

Everything is fixed now, AUTODOOR commmand was added that will open doors by bumping into them when set.

In development now:

- marsh area - slugs incoming!

- second city

- first proper "dungeon" - party needed

MUD is now somewhat bugfree and stable, you can resume grind. New areas will go live tomorrow.

Spells don't seem to be working, each time I try to cast Magic missile, I only lose concentration.

>>243444

It depends on practice level, if your spells are trained below 50% they'll almost certainly fail in combat.

>>243459

When I went to practice though, I never had any points, how do you get these?

>>243464

You get few points every time you level up and you have to be at least level 3 to practice. Wisdom directly affects the practice points gain on level up so best course of action is to get to 17 wis ASAP.

Welp, seems like I have to do another new char.

Keep in mind that magic classes are quite horrible grind at lower levels until you have enough mana to surge and spam spells.

I see… Is there a way to find out what a spell does? Magic Missile is straightforward, but while I know what ventroquilate means, I have no Idea what it does ingame

>>243477

Most spells have HELP entry so just HELP spell name and you should get idea.

>>243476

It's less about mana and more about just grinding out straight levels. Having one higher level than the spell level reduces mana costs to 33m, and the next reduces it to 25m, until you eventually get to 15m or lower. Basically, you never want to put practices into combat spells until you're a couple levels higher than the spell. I don't know exactly how much better the higher level spells are, but you don't gain nearly enough mana per level to justify putting 50m into a spell you just got.

slist will give you a list of spells and their levels.

spells will give you the list of spells and their mana costs

practice will give you a list of spells and their appropriate practice level.

New areas are dragging behind a bit, I made that shit too big.

Dev update:

- marsh area done, sex scenes for grills in progress

- second city done, shops in progress

- dungeon in progress

- tower in progress

- more quests done

With bit of luck the update will be out before 31st.

>>245097

About time how monster girls are in the game?

Can you have npc companions?

Are there moth girls in the game

>>245099

>companions

Nope, only summons for mages at high levels. Technically I can make pet shop and rename it to mercenary agency.

>moths

There will be.

You can always check out current progress by logging in, the server is always up.

Is there a npc that provides an identify service in the game yet?

>>245165

Danuki sells identify scrolls.

>>245102

can you make a dating service?

>>245174

I'm making brothel it will be expensive.

>>245184

What kind of girls will the brothel have? Sounds like a nice place.

>>245186

That will be up to popular vote, I expect to have 4 gals in it.

>Kill an evil Orc of rape

>Out of nowhere comes a lightning and cuts my power

>Try to log in again but the character is already in the game

Send help. I'm probably being raped by orcs over and over again.

>>245361

You found your destined orc pussy.

>>245367

I just wanted to be a nice adveturer but got endlessly raped by Orcs. When I finally managed to beat one, she prays to Ammit to have me stuck ingame, where she and possibly her friends can have a LOT of fun with me.

Is this how my tale ends? Is this what's prepared for me?

>>245376

There are worse ways to go.

it coulda been ropers.

>>245102

I misread mercenary agency as marriage agency.

>>245553

Player marriages are actually in game already for all your ERP needs.

Road past gate and western wall that leads to cemetery will be nomob zones in next update, that should give the orc rapebait anon a break.

Marsh will go live today, tower and Monmon are still largely broken.

>>245855

>orc rapebait anon

Wooow. And for your information, I can succefully beat orcs now thank you very much. If they don't fuck up my computer, that is.

>>245893

Don't worry, I made some new exclusive rapemachines just for you.

MUD REBOOTED

Marsh area is live!

Prepare for death, despair and rape.

Monmon city will go live tonight.

I'm probably retarded, but how do you log back in?

>>246142

The same way you did before, use your username and password. If you didn't reach level 2 before logging out your account wasn't saved.

>>246145

Weird, it just said "illegal name" the first time. Works now, though, probably mistyped.

Small tips what to do once you're done with tutorial:

- go to graveyard for grind - one west and one south from the city just beware of night

- say 'quest' in front of NPCs, some might have job for you

- buy fishing rod

- go to temple to receive free buffs

- mages can SURGE to make their spells hit harder in exchange for higher cost

- thieves can BACKSTAB or BS to initiate combat with critical hit

- thieves can also use ranged weapons with SHOOT, check with your local guild

- warriors can dual wield with SECOND

- clerics are naturally tanky, just use all buffs you can

- mushrooms are good for you

…I want to be the monster.

>>246623

No John, you were the rapebait.

Update:

Monmon town with new shop, new tavern and travel witches will be going live in one hour, server is going down for recompile.

MUD REBOOTED

Monmon and travel witches are in.

You can use TRAVEL LIST command at witch to get list of destinations and TRAVEL BUY <destination> to travel there it's expensive.

Dungeon will go live tomorrow, it's meant for small groups so get your alts ready.

Dev update:

- dungeon and tower still in development hell

- 12 areas done

- 10 new grills ready

- update likely by weekend

>>247835

C'mon Anon, I hit the level cap waiting for the update.

>>248265

I'm trying but the initial design had broken exits and current one has problems with groups without cleric. I'll try to push it out by tonight level cap is 36.

>>239506 (OP)

I have no idea what a mud is, how exactly do we play this? Do we download something or another? How do I get into the game?

>>248333

You download a Mud client like Mudlet and connect to the server and you are in. Thats all there is to it really.

>>248333

In simple terms it's MMO in form of text adventure.

I think current dungeon design is pretty much good to go, there are still problems with bottom floor but it should be good to go in few hours. Prepare your anus.

>>248360

Isn't it supposed to be "Prepare your dick"?

>>248366

Why not both?

>>248372

May monsters have mercy on us

After doing balance test I have important question:

right now the dungeon absolutely needs 2 people to clear, should I just drop it in that state or try to make it soloable?

I'm so lost. How do you "talk" to npcs? Do you just use other commands in the same room? Are you fucked if you don't level enough before getting kicked out of the ghost place?

>>249300

There's never 2 people online at once anyways, anon.

>>249482

"Say quest" allows you to get quests, and if you can't grind off those slime thugs, yes, you're basically fucked.

Server is down for testing, dungeon will be live after it reboots.

Servers were shitting themselves for few days, everything is back on track now. Dungeon is live.

Im just waiting for a more stable verson op im still interested in the mod dont and im sure i can get me a a small group of like minded individuals to give it a shot is there a form group type thing in it? So we can share quests easily?

Also how rpg heavy are you planning on making it

im hopping you get a skilled writefag to help you make it REALLY rpg heavy lol

>>254564

It's not really RP heavy by necessity but all RP tools are present - variety of proximity chat, emotes, custom character descriptions, marriages. Groups are well supported, no guild system since it's pain to maintain. Quests are per person to prevent someone hogging all of them.

I wish I had some builders but right now this is purely one man show, I'll drop some fluff and decorative descriptions in once it's all done.

Tower is now in testing stage, volcano area is already in devhell.

NOT REALLY DEAD

Don't expect any major updates on server for few weeks, I plan to finish map all the way up to volcano and plains before I do another reboot.

Tower and new quests will go live next week and that will be it for a while.

Back on track, tower and volcano will finally go live this weekend. I fixed the server a bit so it doesn't crash at every turn.

Were you that guy on /v/ that did the MUD for a little while?

>>275008

Nope but I know who you're talking about.

SERVER GOING DOWN FOR REBOOT IN FEW HOURS

After it's up there will be:

- tower area - a "story" dungeon

- new cleric skill - mana transfer, use with MAMONO command, you can pump more mana into other people

- necromancy spell for wizards, reanimate, allows you to create zombie pet from NPC corpse with random stats based on the original monster

- few more quests

Delayed again:

- volcano area got serious balance issues there

- dialogue system technically works but it's buggy as fuck

SERVER REBOOTED, CHANGES ARE LIVE

Visit tower today, praise Kek!

Small fix to tower, bosses and elite mobs now properly drop better RNG items.

SERVER REBOOTED, OLD CHARACTERS DELETED

There was serious bug with saves that could end with people deleveling, your grind is gone, sorry.

With that said I found out that suffering levels weren't optimal so new changes:

- bleeding - yes you can actually bleed to death now

- you get full heal at level gain to compensate

- you can save someone who's mortally wounded by administering CPR command is CPR even if you aren't cleric

Nevermind about the bleeding, disabled it again, it makes melee classes nearly useless.

Improved the XP distribution in groups, if few anons want to stress test it and report result I would be grateful you can also just multibox few characters.

Still toiling away, eh? I'll check it out in a bit.

>>276409

nice, is the source available somewhere? are you planning to accept contributions?

Heavily interested

Area design has been on hiatus since I have to do some serious fixes to mob reset code, all the scripts piled into mobs started causing problems and not resetting properly. Summit is fine but volcano area is the problem still. I guess I'll be able to push it live by end of month, hills might or might not take longer depending on how my fix works.

I'll drop packaged source somewhere along with area files once I'm more or less done. It's basically stock Merc 2.2 with some common code snippets and few changes. If someone wants to contribute some areas, items or mobs in standard Merc/DIKU format I'm open but I won't be taking much in terms of codebase contributions until it's more stable. Still gotta make the brothel work somehow.

The server is up 24/7 most of time so test whenever.

I'll be logged in most of the day watching logs of mob resets so feel free to spam chat with inane comments.

I'll be on a lot more - especially whenever I don't have overtime

This brings back a lot of good memories. (I spam a lot of commands because I have occasional trouble remembering stuff) Also this >>290340 is me btw.

I was deliberately trying to make it feel like classic MUDs to make anons who like mudding more comfortable.

I can't speak for everyone else, but it definitely feels good being able to get back into a game like this.

Doing small fixes on server, it will be back up tomorrow.

PROMPT seems to crash the server

Noted, fixing it.

Did a small fix so just turning prompt on and off won't do anything wrong and restarted the server but having too many variables in prompt when using some clients can still crash the server. Gold and XP are the main offenders. I'll bugfix it some more but there's only so much you can do with 20 years old codebase.

apparently i crashed the server again

Server is now in testing mode for a while, seems like there's problem with move points variable in saves. I'll have it back up by next week.

Ded game?

<Nope, sorry.

You had me, then you lost me.

It's on backburner. While I do have two more areas ready there's serious problem with balancing the difficulty for solo player. I absolutely will finish it one day but it won't be soon.

Every possible companion system fails on the primitive AI.
