# 金庸群侠传（2008 加强版） / Legend of Jin Yong's Heroes (2008 Enhanced Edition)

> slug: `jqxz2008` · browser status: `playable` · native port: `40082`

In-game titled 金庸群侠传 ("Jin Yong Heroes Gathering"), running on the "ES II" engine (credited in its own Readme.txt to author Phoebus.suny's 1998 Tiancao-Diguo release) — the same core confirmed byte-for-byte, via direct md5sum comparison of the raw archives, as this project's jqxz2008std (a leaner, earlier '2008 Standard' content cut with fewer quests and shorter room text), jqxz2008dlx ('2008 Deluxe,' its own sect-NPC/combat-tuning/map additions), and jqxz2015 (seven more years of added zones) -- one server program, four separate content builds, not independent games. A later file comparison found the lineage extends beyond that four-way family too: this collection's xiakexing3 (in-game self-titled the same "Jin Yong Heroes Gathering" despite its archive name) shares 91% of its files byte-for-byte with this build, and xiakexing2017 shares 80-84% with both xiakexing3 and this build -- two more content snapshots of the same base game (not separately re-checked against jqxz2008dlx/std/2015). New characters land at a roadside tea house run by 店小二 (Xiao-er) and can join the Beggars' Sect through an organic passphrase-gated tree-hole hideout at the Central Square, training under 左全/Zuo Quan, or the White Camel Mount sect via a separate stat-gated recruiter NPC; real combat death against a 黑无常 (Black Gargoyle) NPC leads into the full corpse/ghost/reincarnation ritual at the death-gate inn. The Mingjiao zone's nine "yuan" NPCs carry a running numeric-curse naming gag (一伤/二败/三毁.../八衰 -- "one-hurt," "two-defeat"..."eight-decline").

## 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 `jqxz2008.zip` from the URL above (or clone
   `https://github.com/fluffos/mudlibs` and use `libs/jqxz2008/`).
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 `127.0.0.1:40082`.
