# RiftsMUD2 / RiftsMUD2

> slug: `rifts2` · browser status: `playable` · native port: `40255`

A DarkeLIB/Nightmare-lineage LPC mudlib (adm/obj/master.lpc credits 'mudlib.n and lil', author zortek@trekverse) whose character generator was reskinned onto Palladium's post-apocalyptic Rifts tabletop RPG (MDC/SDC/PPE stats, OCCs) -- but an honestly early, unfinished build, not a full Rifts world: chargen currently offers exactly one race (Human) and one occupation ('Coalition Grunt'), and the explorable map behind the reskinned city square and post office is still the base engine's ORIGINAL DarkeLIB fantasy content -- a virtual day/night outdoor wilderness grid stocked with jackrabbits, panthers and wolves, plus leftover quest files literally named 'dragon', 'orcslayer' and 'imp_crown' -- rather than anything Rifts-specific like MDC armor or energy weapons. Melee combat's own damage function is a literal stub (unconditional `return ([]);`, its file's own header reading 'Started over almost for Rifts - Parnell 2018'), so no fight can currently run to a real kill without admin intervention. Not a duplicate of grav1tyzero/rifts-ds, an unrelated Dead-Souls-lineage take on the same tabletop setting.

## 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 `rifts2.zip` from the URL above (or clone
   `https://github.com/fluffos/mudlibs` and use `libs/rifts2/`).
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 `127.0.0.1:40255`.

- 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.
