# Discworld / Discworld MUD (FluffOS bundle, v3)

> slug: `discworld` · browser status: `playable` · native port: `40206`

The official Discworld MUD's mudlib, as redistributed by Cratylus (Dead Souls' maintainer) in a self-contained "Discworld Bundle" paired with a matching FluffOS build (dw_fluffos_v3 is the latest of three snapshots this project holds; v1/v2 are independently converted as libs/dw_fluffos_v1 and libs/dw_fluffos_v2). One of the longest-running, most-studied LPMuds in existence (running continuously since 1991), set in Terry Pratchett's Discworld. New characters start in the famous circular Discworld Room in Ankh-Morpork's Cabbage Warehouse Rooming House, guided in by a wandering "womble" NPC. Uses a directory-based command dispatcher (a verb like `look` resolves to a file `cmds/living/l_ook.lpc`, the underscore marking its minimum abbreviation) layered under a `drunk_check()`/`lower_check()` eval-cost and command-queueing throttle.

## 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 `discworld.zip` from the URL above (or clone
   `https://github.com/fluffos/mudlibs` and use `libs/discworld/`).
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 `127.0.0.1:40206`.

- 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.
