Shattered - Mud and Scripting Languages

What is this?

Shattered is a language which derives from LPC. LPC was a language originally devised for programming LPmud (Lars Penj|). Since 1990 we have continued to develop this language for both mud and general scripting use. Internally Shattered is based upon our own stack machine, compiler and runtime support system.

The Source Code

The Shattered source code is available under the GNU Public License: swlpc-1.9.1.tar.bz2. The source comes with a "micro" mudlib of its own; enough to get started. Extra game packs are also available, these should be untarred into the top level mudlib directory:

Documentation pack - doc.tar.bz2 (251K)
Character Generation pack - char_gen.tar.bz2 (18k) (needed if you want to create new characters)
Guild base pack - guild_base.tar.bz2 (40K) (required for guild packs)
- Cult pack - cults.tar.bz2 (26K) (player owned/operated organisations)
- Demon Summoner's Guild - demon_guild.tar.bz2 (27K)
- Healer's Guild - healer_guild.tar.bz2 (23K)
- Thieves Guild - thief_guild.tar.bz2 (26K)
Economy pack - economy.tar.bz2 (70K) (shops, stores, banks, real estate, required for city packs)
- Basic Village - village.tar.bz2 (10K)
Law Pack - law.tar.bz2 (34K) (legal system support and associated rooms)
Blood Pack - blood.tar.bz2 (18K) (blood bank, clinic, first aid, bandages)

Linux (Redhat 5.x, 6.x, Mandrake 7.x, 8.x)
FreeBSD 3.x
