Hi all!

The new release is out. Check the RELEASE-NOTES for bugfixes and new implementations.

regrads,

First build of javamud 2.3 is here!
For the list of changes/new things see the RELEASE-NOTES

Build 2.2.5 of JavaMUD has been released. See the ChangeLog or the "RELEASE-NOTES" in the package for the things fixed or implemented.

The first build of the 2.2 version has been added to the file release system.
Some things that are new compared to version 2.1:
- Most of the texts have been converted (and somewhat tested) to XML strings.
- Modularized the wiztool object (most of the commands have been moved to separate modules).
- Fixed some bugs from 2.1.68 (which will be merged back at some point).

For more details read the RELEASE-NOTES of the packae javamud-2.2.1... read more

The CVS sources have been branched.
The new 2.2.x version will bring the development to a new level. All output to the client will shown using XML strings (including messages, room descriptions, object examinations, etc.), this way a lot more options and tags than with plain text like it was done so far.
For compatibility the old text sending will remain for a while, but they will be removed eventually.... read more

A new,fixed and stable beta version of JavaMUD has been released.

The two packages contain the sources only. You need to edit the $JAVAC variable in src/build-all.sh and run it. Type './start.sh' from the project's root to start the game.
This release fixes some incompatibilities between Unix and Windows filesystems. For more information, read the RELEASE-NOTES.

The IMC2 (Intermud Connection) protocol V4.00 has been ported from C to Java and added to javaMUD.
Version 2.1.61 contains the IMC protocol and sample config files needed to connect to an IMC Hub or network.

A new,fixed and stable beta version of JavaMUD has been released.

The two packages contain the sources only. You need to edit the $JAVAC variable in src/build-all.sh and run it. Type './start.sh' from the project's root to start the game. If you want to have the 'wholist' you need to have a writable 'wholist.html' in '/var/www/html'. This hardcoded setting will be changed in the future.

The package 2.1.24 contains the fixed version of the 'wholist.html' generation (2.4.21 has a small bug related to a "</table>" tag).

The project homepage has been redesigned and it's currently under heavy reconstruction.
Visit is and give us your opinion:

There is now a small documentation about the MUD API functions. This will be extended later.

Also an implementation document is on the way.

The BETA release of javaMUD is out. It still has some bugs however, luckily we can fix those in the upcoming months.
The release package contains only the class files. For sources please check out the CVS repository.
We are still looking for java developers, so if interested please email to the project admin "u_davis@users.sourceforge.net".
The new release's API is very similar to LPMUD programming, so lpc programmers will feel it very familiar. There is a draft programming guide at http://members.lycos.co.uk/javamud/springmud-manual.rtf ... read more

Latest version of JavaMUD was released together with a MUDLib.
Enjoy.

For questions email to distvan@hotmail.com

The latest version has been released on Sourceforge.
This includes all the required class files plus library files: zones, objects, mobs and player files.
This is the last version of javaMUD that uses test files for resources. In future releases all data will be in a MySQL database.

Finally the first version of the class files have been released!
