# 侠客新传98书剑 / New Legend of the Wandering Swordsman: '98 Edition

"New Legend of the Wandering Swordsman" v0.1b, MudOS v22pre11, by the Xkxz MUD Wizard Group, 2000-2001, maintained by jjgod. Despite carrying "Book and Sword" in its Chinese title, it shares no lineage with this project's actual Book and Sword series (sjecl/sje/sjplgfjxb/sjplii) — the resemblance is purely coincidental naming, likely a site version codename from that year. It is also unrelated to the other "XKX"/Xiake-titled MUDs (xkx100/xkx2017) despite the similar name; a byte-for-byte comparison of master.lpc instead places it in the "hell / Doing Lu" lineage (ES II to XKX to hell), sharing ancestry with zjdyaryl, zjdyzj, and hell. Its map notably includes a Miao borderlands region with Gu-sorcery culture and sect settings, a relatively uncommon backdrop among these archives.

## 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 `xkxc98sj.zip` from the URL above (or clone
   `https://github.com/fluffos/mudlibs` and use `libs/xkxc98sj/`).
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 `127.0.0.1:40126`.

- Admin / wizard login: `fluffos` / `Mud@2026`
