Translation engine is more or less completed. It can be found HERE.

This will be accessible from within the game as I want to encourage players to sprinkle their speech with vocabulary from their racial language. I would appreciate some input on how the syntax should work. I'm thinking "translate <from|to> <language> <text>" but that might be a little unwieldy.
I might end up tying this into the existing language system, so you can codedly learn elvish, and then have access to that language's dictionary.

Anyway, it looks like the next thing I want to get done is crafting, and I'd appreciate any help I can get with that, if you guys are still interested.

im very interested in this!

if i were able to get a crash-course in coding i'd LOVE to help you guys!

Earlier this year, I tried make a mud on my own with the Deadsouls mudlib. I started after having played a bit of Wurm and thinking I wanted something better. I got as far as player built walls. After that, I quickly went mad trying to make them removable as the Dead Souls lib had extra dummy objects spawned in the rooms bordering on a wall which I couldn't get rid of.
I've decided that a project of that scale is too much for me, but maybe I could make a function or object for you.

Oh, and if you actually have a couple of dwarves living in your fortress, can I try to snatch your babies?

[Jakkarra]

how exactly is the MUD going?

do we have an internet based client? likethe hellmoo's CHARON?

You could use the Java client, but using a real one works much better.

I give up, working on a MUD is too arcane for me.

Is this project still alive? I tried to connect to it, and failed, and the website seems to be down.

[Tahin]

It's by no means entirely dead. I hate to promise anything at the moment as I've been rather sidetracked lately, but I've been thinking about it and I intend to get back to working on it regularly at some point.

[moocowmoo]

This is cool beans.

[PTTG??]

Hey! Tahin! Get back to work on this or make that zombie game! You have been warned!

[Jakkarra]

Zombie games?

Hey! i'm planning one of those! (In C++, Awwwwwwwww, yeeaaaaaaah) I just need to learn C++.

[eerr]

Tahin, have you considered switching projects?
this one...

Isn't going places fast.

[Tahin]

Well, that tends to happen when you stop working on something. Hehe.

The server is back up purely as a reminder to myself to work on it at some point, and I likely will as most of my present distractions are rapidly losing my interest.

[eerr]

Have you considered that this project was too abitious?
like toady making the first version of dwarf fortress in 3d.

[Dakk]

Is this dead? I haven't given up in a DFey hellmoo yet.
