# 侠客行2017 / Ode to Gallantry 2017

The Story of Hero, MudOS v21 lineage — part of the same core codebase family as this project's xkx100 and xkx2000zxb, visible at a glance in the structure of combatd.lpc and quest.h. It shares that core codebase but with a noticeably more compact map: the major sects (Huashan, Wudang, Shaolin, the Beggars' Sect, Emei, the Ming Cult, and more) are all present, but it lacks xkx100's frontier settings like the northern steppes, Kazakhstan, or Taiwan, reading more like a streamlined remake. Unlike its sibling xkx2000zxb, admin privileges here use the standard wizlist text-file mechanism with no site-IP lock, making it simpler to set up.

## 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 `xkx2017.zip` from the URL above (or clone
   `https://github.com/fluffos/mudlibs` and use `libs/xkx2017/`).
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 `127.0.0.1:40145`.

- Admin / wizard login: `fluffos` (password documented in README)
- If you host this on a public network, change the published default
  admin password before opening the port.
