The Grendel Project project is an attempt at creating a solid, fast, and stable MUD server codebase.
Operational features include IPv6 support, a plugin architecture, enhanced scripting, copyover, and numerous other features.
Here are some key features of "The Grendel Project":
· GMC, or Grendel MUD C, is a replacement for the original (limited) mobprogs. It's a fully functional language based on C, which is compiled and executed in a virtual stackmachine
· Plugin architecture: code can be grouped and modularized in plugin modules, which can be loaded/unloaded during runtime
· Copyover system a.k.a. hot reboot, more info below
· IPv6 support: Grendel auto-detects and natively supports the new internet protocol, on all Linux machines with an IPv6 enabled kernel, and on NT4/2000/XP machines with the proper software installed
Requirements:
· Glibc version 2.2 or higher
· a recent kernel
· Borland Kylix 3
· GNU make
What's New in This Release:
· The server can now be run as a service on Windows NT/XP and as a daemon on Linux.
· The SMAUG area convertor was re-enabled.
· Generic server and console classes were added, a brand new version of the manual was added, some race conditions and memory leaks were fixed, and numerous other bugfixes were made.
