New Muddriver

2024-08-01 · simon

  So most of you probably heard about 3k working on migrating to the new 
  muddriver. 
 
  Well, so are we.
 
  We've been in talks with Thor about this for about a year (actually, in a 
  week it's exactly a year). He's been doing a ton of hard work to bring us 
  up to the state where we're at, which is basically that the mud is booting. 
   
 
  There's no reasonable way to do a time estimation of when we'll be done but 
  until then quite some of our time will be spent there rather than develop 
  things here.  
 
  To put this into perspective, we're on LDMud 3.2.15 which is a patched 
  version of 3.2.13 which was released in November 2005.  
 
  So, why are we doing this?
 
  Well, there's plenty of good features, changes and bug features with the 
  more modern driver. Support for 64-bit is something that's mentioned a lot 
  on 3k but the programming language (LPC) has also developed a lot which 
  gives us improved tools to create more wild stuff and develop the mud even 
  further. If you're interested and want to know more you can read the
