You know, if you guys do try and do this, I know of someone who offers free mu* hosting. I've never spoken to him, but I did (used to) have a paid account with his service, and it was very good. I saw his +finger on Gateway (its a mush which serves to advertise mushes, sortof like a mudconnector, but...for mushes)

This is his finger:

As he notes, the site is http://www.isunlimited.net/index.php/hosting/shared

I don't really know why he'd offer free mu* hosting though, and I think someone else earlier said they had hosting. I'm just in favor of Dwarf Fortress, so I thought I'd point (the above) out, since I happened to  notice his advert while looking about for a mu* to play on.

I think I could host easily enough, and I'd rather maintain control if at all possible. I have nothing against having someone else host, but it would be good if they were also the admin. Anyway, there are enough free mud hosts out there that that shouldn't be an issue.

I managed to compile and run Dead Souls, but my copy seems to be missing a few important commands and helpfiles. It all works fine on the demo mud, so I'm going to try an older version...

Okay, I got it compiled and it's running. It all seems to be working... Awesome.
If anyone's interested in learning LPC and helping me with this, I think this would be the way to go.

 I'll take a stab at it, but expect me to generally just dick around in the MUD with pre-built commands.

I would bet money Andrew has edited things retroactively, except I can't prove anything because it was edited retroactively.

Well there are some prebuilt building commands. I'll end up adding some skill-based building, crafting, digging, and whatnot, commands, at some point, if I actually get around to this. I'll have to balance this and my zombie action-roguelike, now... Oh well.

If anyone's interested, I guess you can telnet to 192.168.1.4 port 1050. I'll be up for another two hours. I'm interested in hearing if anyone can connect, actually.

Hm. I'm not terribly surprised...

Give me a half hour. I'll figure this out.

EDIT: Huh. They suddenly updated the download page to show that the one I was using previously was completely unsupported, and the one I'm using now is a bit behind, so I'll try compiling the latest stable release.

EDIT2: I stand corrected. The one I was just using was an unsupported alpha... Huh.

192.168.*.* is a private address. It's also what many home routers use as the default range. Check out WhatsMyIP to find your external address.

Thanks for the tip, Mephisto. All right, try 12.183.160.30 port 1050...

It's giving me a connection refused error when I try it... Something's wrong here...

 Yup, same error from me.

 Although I have to go to bed soonish. If you can get it working within the hour, I'll be on.

It would be nice to figure this out. I've never had any luck with networking, so that's probably the biggest hurdle, right now...

According to all my googling, this should just be working. Help?

Edit: All right, I just realized that my router is probably the issue. Now I need to dig up the tiny piece of paper I have its info written on...
