# 笑傲江湖 XO / Xiao Ao Jiang Hu XO (The Smiling, Proud Wanderer)

> slug: `xajhxo` · browser status: `playable` · native port: `40069`

Based on Jin Yong's novel The Smiling, Proud Wanderer, "XO" is this version's own codename (the login banner reads "THE SMILING PROUD WANDERER"), descended from the TMI-2/ES2 engine lineage and rewritten by "Falcon." This collection also holds two other snapshots of the same bloodline, xo (Mini Edition) and xo_final (Final 1.2), plus a fourth relative, xajh2, with which it shares the same underlying "XO mudlib" world template — though a file-level check found the two only 18% byte-identical among shared paths, confirming each was independently rewritten rather than copy-pasted. It runs a trimmed subset of that shared sect roster (Shaolin, Kongdong, Kunlun, Qingcheng, Wuliang, the Duan-clan palace of Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils, plus the Beggars'-Sect-adjacent Yipin Hall) alongside its own exclusive Nanyang region, complete with a bandit mountain stronghold. New characters are dropped into one of several random starting scenes, such as the Dragon Gate Inn, and each weapon discipline (sword, blade, fist, qinggong, whip, polearm) levels independently; quitting within 30 minutes of character creation forfeits the save by design, not bug.

## 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 `xajhxo.zip` from the URL above (or clone
   `https://github.com/fluffos/mudlibs` and use `libs/xajhxo/`).
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 `127.0.0.1:40069`.
