style="font-weight: bold;">THIS SECTION IS INCOMPLETE SO DONT GIMME
NO GUFF<br>
</span><br>
This is a summary of currently-available <a
href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mudlib">libs</a> whose installation
difficulty level ranges from "easy" to "moderate". The point of this
page is to provide a convenient reference to those interested in trying
them out. These downloads are libs bundled with the driver (with
permission of the authors where required) for your convenience.<br>
<br>
There are LP libs of substantial historical significance that are not
summarized here, such as LPmud 2.4.5 and Nightmare IV. In the case of
2.4.5, the installation process on a modern OS is sufficiently
complicated that getting it to work rates as "hard", and I don't want
to set people up for failure. Nightmare IV, though easy to install and
historically important, has been withdrawn from distribution by the
copyright holder and is therefore not summarized here either. Some
libs, like Foundation, I just haven't gotten to packaging up.<br>
<br>
Other, more obscure libs are omitted due to being so closely related to
the libs here as to be functionally identical. Non-MudOS libs are not
included here simply because I have not yet tested them enough to gauge
their utility and/or recommend them.<br>
<br>
<span style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline;">Note
about
licensing</span>: Each of these libs comes with its own licensing
information. Do <span style="text-decoration: underline;">not</span>
assume they are public domain, or GPL, or whatever.<br>
<br style="text-decoration: underline; font-weight: bold;">
<span style="text-decoration: underline; font-weight: bold;">Note
about
intermud:</span> Most of these libs are designed or preconfigured to
connect to the <a href="http://dead-souls.net/router.html">yatmim
router</a>. Please read the router info and <a
href="http://dead-souls.net/router_rules.html">rules</a> if you plan
on making use of that communication medium. Also, note <a
href="http://dead-souls.net/ds-admin-faq.html#90">this FAQ entry</a>
on intermud security.<br>

Windows plaintext and UNIX plaintext differ, believe it<br>or not. If you use notepad for editing mudos.cfg, for example,<br>your mud is likely to just fail to boot. This is because it<br>can no longer read the "incorrectly" formatted file. <br><br> The other big problem with Notepad and Wordpad is that<br>they often add formatting and characters to text files that<br>make them very ugly and hard to read from inside the mud.<br><br> The solution is to use a text editor that can save in<br>UNIX text format. The following URLs point to editors that I<br>have been told will do a good job of this. I can't vouch for<br>them, as they are 3rd party apps and I've never tested them, but<br>I am assured they are very good for this.<br><br><a
