# 小雨西游utf8 / Light Rain Journey to the West (UTF-8 Snapshot)

> slug: `xyxyutf8` · browser status: `playable` · native port: `40168`

Another independent archive of the Xiaoyu Xiyou / Xiaoyu Xiyou II engine, its filename flagging that it had already been pre-converted to UTF-8. Though it shares an engine family with this project's xyxy2 and xiaoyuxiyou snapshots -- including the same Aolai Kingdom newbie zone (safe sparring, an NPC-taught two-step skill-learning flow, a starting-inn shop and message board) -- a content-hash comparison shows it is not a byte-for-byte duplicate of either (8,753 vs. 11,149 .lpc files); it's a snapshot from a different point in the game's development, not just a re-encoding, so it was processed as its own distinct archive. Beyond the shared newbie content, this build layers a level-gated spell/dungeon progression under daemon/class/spells/40/, numbered in tiers players "break through" as they level.

## 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 `xyxyutf8.zip` from the URL above (or clone
   `https://github.com/fluffos/mudlibs` and use `libs/xyxyutf8/`).
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 `127.0.0.1:40168`.

- 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.
