Grendel Project is a MUD server codebase designed to be stable, fast and reliable.
One of the main features of The Grendel Project is Grendel MUD C (GMC), a powerful replacement for the old mobprogs. With GMC, you get a fully functional language based on C that is compiled and executed in a virtual stack machine, providing unparalleled flexibility and customization options.
In addition to its scripting capabilities, Grendel also boasts a sophisticated plugin architecture that allows you to modularize code into separate modules that can be loaded and unloaded during runtime. This makes it easy to add new features and functionality to your MUD without having to restart the entire server.
Another key feature of Grendel is its copyover system, which allows you to perform hot reboots without interrupting ongoing gameplay. This is a huge convenience for both developers and users, as it minimizes downtime and allows you to quickly make and test changes to your MUD.
Of course, Grendel also includes support for the latest internet protocol, IPv6, and can auto-detect and natively support it on all Linux machines with an IPv6 enabled kernel, as well as NT4/2000/XP machines with the proper software installed.
To get the most out of The Grendel Project, you'll need to satisfy the following requirements: Glibc version 2.2 or higher, a recent kernel, Borland Kylix 3, and GNU make.
In the latest release of The Grendel Project, several exciting new features have been added, including the ability to run the server as a service on Windows NT/XP and as a daemon on Linux. Additionally, the SMAUG area converter has been re-enabled, and several bugfixes have been made, including the resolution of some race conditions and memory leaks.
Overall, The Grendel Project is a must-have for any developer or user looking to create a fast, stable, and reliable MUD server. With its advanced features and user-friendly interface, it's a great choice for anyone who wants to take their MUD to the next level.
