DGD-Compatible MUDLibs

(Have you already read the DGD FAQ section on MUDLibs? You should.)

  • Phantasmal is built on top of the Kernel MUDLib, and shows off cool DGD features like compile-in-place, object tracking and LWOs. It works only with recent experimental versions of DGD.
  • Melville 0.9.1, a minimal but quite usable MUDLib tested with DGD 1.1. It includes a sould, channeld and mud mail.
  • GurbaLib's page is still up, but the library is no longer under development. GurbaLib has the most features of any current MUDLib. It has rooms, creatures, guilds, and basically all the expected high-fantasy MUD trappings. Download it instead of 2.4.5 :-) It runs on a nonstandard, modified DGD 1.1 base. You can download version 0.40 here .
  • The Kernel MUDLib is extremely well-written and secure, but also very, very minimal. It's distributed with any recent version of DGD
  • The Reload MUDLib is a restructuring of the Kernel Library to use a different directory structure. Better? Worse? You be the judge.
  • The LPC 2.4.5 MUDLib has been adapted for use with DGD 1.1. It's sloppy, it's outdated, it's unsupported -- but it does give you a game from the get-go. You can download it here.
  • MudOS alike for DGD (MudOSa4DGD) isn't really a MUDLib but it's meant to be a good basis for one or for adapting MudOS MUDLibs to DGD.
  • I think this is an old version of the Xyllomer MUDLib, but in any case, PBLib is way out of date. There's a patch that may bring it sufficiently up to date. Then again, it may not.
  • John "West" McKenna's Inferno MUDLib was never really released. It's mostly without documentation, and is based on an (also-unreleased) chat server called Flame. However, one more example MUDLib is never a bad thing.
  • The LPMOO MUDLib is a nifty idea -- MOO implemented on top of DGD. The current version is extremely out-of-date. There's a patch to update it to DGD 1.1, which is at least closer to modern. You can download version 1.2 here

Still in Early Development / Not Yet Downloadable

  • Whedimer MUDLib on SourceForge.
  • Macrocosm MUDLib on SourceForge.
  • TWG(m)LIB MUDLib on SourceForge.
  • Arantor MUDlib hasn't put anything I can understand (i.e. anything in English) on their SourceForge page, but they seem to be a DGD MUDLib, probably still in the planning stages. The text seems to be in, like, Danish or Swedish or something. Sorry, I'm one of these Americans who speaks nothing but English and a little Spanish, so I can't tell anything useful except that it's DGD-based and written from scratch.
  • Herator MUDLib doesn't seem to have gotten very far, and the discussion is in Swedish, but it's nice to see other people playing with DGD. They may be related to the Swedish MUD in the MUD list.

As of this moment, none of the "Still in Early Development" MUDs have made much anything public. But hey, these links will be around for awhile so they may have more information available when you click on them.
