# Mortal Remains / Mortal Remains

> slug: `mortremains` · browser status: `playable` · native port: `40231`

A classic English-language LPMud, admin'd by "Cyanide" from 1997 to 2000, running the public-domain-released TMI-2 ("The Mud Institute") 1.4alpha mudlib base. A ~13,500-file archive of real 1997-2000 wizard-home content across dozens of authors (Cyanide, Chronos, Nightmask, Spooner, and many more). New characters pass through a full TMI-2 registration (password, email, real name) and a menu-driven race/gender/handedness/alignment stat-reroll wizard before landing in Decatur, the starting town. A newbie helper NPC, Alucard, stationed at the Intersection east of the town center, points new players toward starter equipment and directs them to any of five class halls scattered around town: a Pit Fighter's guild and a Sharpshooter's guild for warriors (joining awards a class-marker item, "A Pit Fighter's Scars"), a mage hall, a rogue hall, and the Temple of Talos for priests. The preloaded channel daemon makes a real outbound socket-connect attempt on every boot to a real (now long-dead) 1999-era Intermud-3 router address, reflecting the mud's original era of live inter-mud connectivity.

## 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 `mortremains.zip` from the URL above (or clone
   `https://github.com/fluffos/mudlibs` and use `libs/mortremains/`).
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 `127.0.0.1:40231`.

- 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.
