MudOS v22.2b14 has been released. See the download link to the right.
To answer a few questions that have been popping up repeatedly recently ...
- Is MudOS GPL?
No, and it most likely never will be. An attempt was made several years
ago to get the major contributors to sign-off on changing the license to
GPL, but in the end, nothing could be done because not all of these people
could be reached. I've no plans to make another attempt.
- Does MudOS work on Windows?
The short answer is yes; the slightly longer is yes, but it doesn't work
well, and it's a pain to even get it working minimally. MudOS was written
for Unix with no intentions of ever porting it to Windows (remember, MudOS
is now many years old, and at the time, Windows simply was not built to act
in any way, shape, or form as a server). Your best bet is to get yourself
a copy of Cygwin and build MudOS in that environment. I will not support
MudOS on Windows AT ALL. Sorry.
- Does MudOS work on Mac OS X (Darwin)?
Yes, the version released today will build on Mac OS X Panther (10.3), and
should also build on older versions as well, though I haven't personally
tested it on anything other than Panther. Patches to make it work on older
releases are welcome, but I won't be testing them myself.
- Why don't your answer my email?
Most of the questions that are directed to me personally can be better
answered by sending the questions out to the appropriate
mailing list. I will
not respond to email sent to me that should be sent to the list, and
more often than not, they can even be answered by reading the material that
comes in the MudOS distribution. If you can't be bothered to read what's
written, then I can't be bothered to do anything except hit delete.
