# Dock 9 / Dock 9

> slug: `dock9` · browser status: `playable` · native port: `40266`

A small English-language LPC mudlib built on the same LPUniversity/Sapidlib teaching-engine base as this project's lpuni -- a full login/registration/security/command-dispatch/help/mail/news/channel/Intermud-3 engine, with a small but genuinely original starting area: the dock town of Trepi, an island city trading across the Trepi Strait with Nulens, a 'relatively recently discovered continent' now being colonized by the empires of Erplak, an old continent from beyond the Besling Ocean. New characters start on Dock 9 itself -- 'one of the more magical places on the world,' where 'for as long as anyone can recall, people have appeared, lost and confused' -- among a network of numbered docks (7, 8, 10, 11, 12) connected by piers, cargo warehouses, and a customs house. A helpful greeter-sailor NPC welcomes each new arrival by name and, on request, teleports them to a separate floating-island training area (Make); a second, wandering 'unsteady sailor' NPC demonstrates subdomain wandering while visibly drunk on Nulens's lax law enforcement, name-dropping a place called Calliet. There is no combat/stats system at all. Also makes a real outbound Intermud-3 network connection at boot, same as lpuni/imud/tmi2/skylib.

## 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 `dock9.zip` from the URL above (or clone
   `https://github.com/fluffos/mudlibs` and use `libs/dock9/`).
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 `127.0.0.1:40266`.

- 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.
