# DeadSouls-FluffOS2019 / Dead Souls 3.8.6 (fluffos/dead-souls fork)

> slug: `deadsouls_fluffos` · browser status: `playable` · native port: `40207`

The fluffos GitHub org's own actively-maintained fork of the classic Dead Souls 3.8.6 mudlib, pre-adapted for the modern FluffOS v2019 driver branch (tracked as a git submodule) rather than a legacy archive dump -- a separate, independently-sourced snapshot from this collection's other two Dead Souls entries (ds386, dshakkard), already carrying its own AUTO_WIZ registration, a websocket listener, and a www/ web client. New characters begin in "The start room" near the Praxis campus, then `enter town` to reach the main city; playable races are dwarf, elf, half-elf, half-orc, halfling, human, orc, and poleepkwa. The town/campus/Praxis/amigara/learning/Ylsrim/cave/examples domains are Dead Souls' own official "how to build an area" teaching material, and AUTO_WIZ lets a new registrant answer "creator" instead of "player" to get builder access immediately, with `read chapter 1 in handbook` as the suggested first step.

## Run natively with FluffOS

1. Build a current FluffOS driver from https://github.com/fluffos/fluffos
   (native `build` / `build-debug`; see that repo's docs).
2. Download and unzip `deadsouls_fluffos.zip` from the URL above (or clone
   `https://github.com/fluffos/mudlibs` and use `libs/deadsouls_fluffos/`).
3. From the unzipped lib directory, ensure `config.fluffos` points
   `mudlib directory` at this tree (the checked-in file may contain a
   maintainer-local absolute path — edit it to your extract path).
4. Start the driver:

```bash
/path/to/fluffos/build/src/driver config.fluffos
```

5. Connect a UTF-8 MUD client to `127.0.0.1:40207`.

- Admin / wizard login: see this lib's README (no seeded account recorded)
- If you host this on a public network, change the published default
  admin password before opening the port.
