The first release of the Kingdoms of Ahln Mud Server (KAMS) is here! Being the first release, it probably has all kinds of problems. The documentation is poor. Lots of things are probably confusing. I am working on putting a nice, fat manual together, though.
You can head on over
here to download the server code.
If you are interested in checking it out, here are the steps to follow (slightly more verbose than the README):
- Install Ruby. If you have to use Windows, I recommend the One-Click Installer
- Install EventMachine using RubyGems This just typically means typing "gem install eventmachine"
- Download KAMS and untar/unzip it somewhere
- Open up conf/config.yaml and edit appropriately. Most importantly, set the admin name to be the name of the character you plan to use
- Run ruby util/setup.rb file to initialize the storage. This is necessary because different platforms and Ruby versions do things differently. If you are using the One-Click installer, you can just double-click the file. When it asks, "Are you SURE?" type "yes" and press enter
- Run ruby server.rb. Again, if you are using the One-Click installer, just double-click it. If you see "Server up and running" then you are set
- Connect to the address and port you set
- Create a new character with the name you set before
- Now you should be ready to make your own little world
Any issues can be discussed here or on the "Admin and Development Help" board.
