# 侠客英雄传 III / Legend of the Chivalrous Hero III

> slug: `xkyx3b` · browser status: `playable` · native port: `40036`

A small (~3,800 files), independently built wuxia MUD running on an early home-grown domestic MudOS engine (classic adm/obj directory layout), with an unusual crossover premise stated right in its own login banner: a world set against Jin Yong novels, Western European medieval legend, and manga. New characters pick a race from six options -- human, dwarf, elf, fairy, dragonkin, or orc -- a mechanic rare among this corpus's wuxia archives. The archive even bundles a Record of Lodoss War-flavored lore document (a multi-kingdom fantasy backstory) under d/lodoss/, though that zone's room files are only unbuilt placeholder stubs, not a completed area. The tutorial is unusually polished for this corpus: six connected starter rooms walk a new player through movement, looking/picking up items, eating and shopping, asking for help, and a scripted practice fight against a wild dog, before dropping them into the Central Square to start the real adventure. It doesn't share a codebase lineage with any other lib in this collection.

## 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 `xkyx3b.zip` from the URL above (or clone
   `https://github.com/fluffos/mudlibs` and use `libs/xkyx3b/`).
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 `127.0.0.1:40036`.

- Admin / wizard login: `fluffos` / `Mud@2026`
- If you host this on a public network, change the published default
  admin password before opening the port.
