# Nightmare 3 / Nightmare 3

> slug: `nightmare3` · browser status: `playable` · native port: `40208`

One of the oldest and most historically influential LPMud mudlib families, an ancestor of the TMI-2 lineage. This fork (fluffos/nightmare3) is already updated for modern FluffOS. New characters pick a race in a genesis void room before rolling stats and entering Praxis, the mudlib's own shipped example domain — a full town with shops, a bank, a graveyard, mountain caves, and an orc valley — built around a central Monument Square, with five playable classes (fighter, cleric, mage, rogue, kataan) and three joinable guilds (druids, philosophers, witches). Unlike the rest of this collection, content is in English, included deliberately for its historical importance to the wider LPMud family tree.

## 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 `nightmare3.zip` from the URL above (or clone
   `https://github.com/fluffos/mudlibs` and use `libs/nightmare3/`).
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 `127.0.0.1:40208`.

- 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.
