# 侠客行 (MUD侠客行2017完整版) / Xia Ke Xing — 2017 Complete Edition (Ode to Gallantry)

> slug: `xiakexing2017` · browser status: `playable` · native port: `40017`

Based on Jin Yong's novel Ode to Gallantry (Xia Ke Xing) in its own login banner, this archive is labeled the "2017 Complete Edition." Despite the shared name, its codebase is genuinely independent of this collection's xiakexing100 (only ~2-4% of files match by content). It is, however, a much closer relative of xiakexing3 and of this collection's jqxz2008/jqxz2008dlx/jqxz2008std/jqxz2015 "Legend of Jin Yong's Heroes" (Jin Yong Qunxiazhuan) family than either side's own description previously acknowledged: a direct file comparison found roughly 80-84% of the files it shares a path with are byte-identical to both xiakexing3 and to jqxz2008 — one server program and one base game world (adm/single/master.lpc core, tea-house/inn start, Beggars'-Sect-via-hollow-tree recruitment, Mingjiao's numeric-curse-named NPCs) produced across several separately-branded content builds, not independent games. New characters start at an inn, can apprentice into named sect teachers (e.g. the Beggars' Sect's 余洪兴/Yu Hongxing), and the game clock displays "Xia Ke Xing time," real Beijing time, and the lunar calendar side by side.

## 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 `xiakexing2017.zip` from the URL above (or clone
   `https://github.com/fluffos/mudlibs` and use `libs/xiakexing2017/`).
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 `127.0.0.1:40017`.
