<p class="intro">If you want to look at the DalekenMUD server this is the
page where you can find source code and all of the server data for quick
download. You can find instructions on <a href="install.html">how
to install and run DalekenMUD here</a>.

This is the complete Daleken release, version 1.12. The file is in
<a href="#bzip2">bzip2</a> format so that it takes as little to download
as possible.
<br></br>This file contains the following components:
<ul>
<li>Source code.</li>
<li>All data files, inc. original area files.</li>
<li>Extra documentation and help files.</li>
</ul>
Note that previous versions are still available on request.

This binary is compiled for people using Windows 95, 98, NT or 2000.
Note that I have modified the code so that
<a href="http://www.inprise.com/">Borland C++ Builder</a> can compile
it, so this file doesn't require that you have Cygwin1.dll!
<br>If you wish to run Daleken under Windoze, also download the complete
release and follow the instructions <a href="install.html#windows">here</a>.

This is a powerful block sorting compression program that compresses text
to around 60% of the size that zip or gzip can. Windoze users will
need this file in order to extract the <a href="#all">complete
distribution</a>.
<br>Most Unix like operating systems have bzip2 available, if you don't
have a copy, visit the <a href="http://sourceware.cygnus.com/bzip2/">bzip2
homepage</a>. This site has source code and binaries for most
operating systems.

<h3>Clients</h3>
<p class="intro">There are many clients available, but I have been using
TinyFugue for quite a while now and I feel that for a purely text based
client it is good, perhaps better than the majority of clients with fancy
interfaces. The features list is quite impressive and recently I have
added support for Mud Client Compression Protocol, which couples nicely with
the support that the Daleken server now has. If you have zlib and you want
to reduce your bandwidth use in mudding, try this client.</p>

The compression code and protocol are the work of Oliver Jowett, I just
patched them in and made a few modifications, you can read more at his
homepage <a href="http://homepages.ihug.co.nz/~icecube/compress/">http://homepages.ihug.co.nz/~icecube/compress/</a>.

<h3>Snippets</h3>
<p class="intro">DalekenMUD contains a large number of ideas that could be
applied to other MUDs that are loosely based on Merc or Envy. However,
the code has been sufficiently modified that extracting code and manipulating
it so it could be simply patched into a stock MUD isn't too easy.
Thus I don't include many snippets on this page, instead I encourage people
to download the code, run the MUD and find features that suit them.
If you find a feature you like, you can then extract the relevant code from
Daleken yourself.
</p>
<p class="intro">If you find a feature that you can't seem to figure out, I
will be willing to help you find what you need, just mail me the
details. If you want to turn something into a snippet, please send me
a copy so I can put it here.
</p>
<p class="intro">Oh, and credit where credit is due please, check with me if
you aren't sure who is responsible for some things if you have to.

This snippet adds alias support to your Envy 2.2 MUD, any other style
of MUD may require some modifications. This was written a while
back but the code has been extensively tested.

<th class="left" width="30%" valign="top"><a href="trade.txt">Secure
Trading</a></th>
<td width="70%">
This snippet adds a secure trading system to your mud. This
system is particularly useful when players wish to trade but do
not trust the other with their precious items. A trade deal is
arranged first then a two stage approval process ensures that no
cheating occurs.
