# 笑傲江湖 / Laughing in the Wind (nitan6)

> slug: `nitan6` · browser status: `playable` · native port: `40019`

One of the two largest 'nitan' (NT/Lonely) engine games in this collection, at over 23,000 files, based on Jin Yong's classic wuxia novel The Smiling, Proud Wanderer — and, unlike its larger sibling nitan170911 (the root of the whole NT/nitan lineage, which it shares its core F_DBASE attribute-storage architecture with), fully self-contained and playable start to finish without any external database. Characters are reincarnated from the Valley of Life into a full Jin-Yong-style jianghu of sects — Sun Moon Sect, Mount Hua, Shaolin, the Beggars' Sect, and more — building up internal power, lightness kung fu, fist skills, and weapon mastery, with gang prestige, military merit, marriage, and mounts all fleshed out. The Beggars' Sect even has its own quirky tree-hollow initiation ritual, and character creation ends with a one-time `washto` roll that lets a new arrival re-distribute their four starting attributes before setting out (a separate, literal `wash` command exists too, but it's just for washing dirty items with water).

## 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 `nitan6.zip` from the URL above (or clone
   `https://github.com/fluffos/mudlibs` and use `libs/nitan6/`).
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 `127.0.0.1:40019`.

- Admin / wizard login: `fluffos` / `Mud@2026`
- If you host this on a public network, change the published default
  admin password before opening the port.
