Sounds like fun, to bad most MUD engines use a very different stat/skill system than ADOM (though most allow for considerable modifications)... You could still make monsters and areas with ADOM names, but it just won't be the same unless you could make (most) skills/spells/items work in roughtly the same way as in ADOM. Idealy it should also support somewhat randomized item stats and so forth. Can't think of any engiens that match those critereas straight off. Would probably be a good idea to obtain the permission of the creator befoing getting to involved in such a project though. ADOM is copyrighted after all. Jan Erik Mydland HoF admin |

The real problem about making Adom into a mud i think would be the wilderness travel and Chaos/time considerations. |

the skills system, as in percentages, there are muds with that kinda system. the skills should be modified though. also, the dungeons should be generated anew for every boot, thus making the game more versatile than most. just a thought. |

This thread's fairly old, but I just wanted to say that I have some experience working MOOs and MooCode and I'd be very willing to start work on something. Ah, MUX.... I have fond memories of vicious attack penguins, burning bridges, hidden cameras, and invisibility. >:) > Sounds like fun, to bad most MUD engines use a very different stat/skill system than ADOM (though most allow for considerable modifications)... That's why, if this were to happen, I think it would be best built from the ground up--from a MOO ideally, as I have quite a bit of experience programming in MooCode and know very well how flexible MOOs are. > The real problem about making Adom into a mud i think would be the wilderness travel and Chaos/time considerations. Why would that be a problem....? Increase variable increment.... I assume most of the functions, like health/mana regeneration, hunger etc. would be based as a function of energy points i.e. time, and.... well, time would be more individualized while in the wilderness, I'd certainly imagine. Anyway, this is my two cents. |
