To build for muds you dont need to know anything about how to code.

The question you might need to ask yourself is, what do you want to build? And on which game?

To be fair, that does kind of depend on what kind of progging requirements a MUD might have for areas. I know our progs have progressed in complexity to the point that being a good builder implies that you can do some cool stuff with our prog scripting language.

Right, there's definitely no digging into C necessary in our progs, at least. Even coding for the game itself doesn't require any C knowledge since you're doing it in Rapture's scripting language (which I'm told is C-like, but as Rapture's scripting language is the only coding language I know I can't personally say). The mobprog language is a language built using Rapture's scripting language. Rapture is written in C, but only one person (our CTO) ever touches the actual Rapture C-code.

I also wouldn't separate 'scripting' and 'building'. Instead, I'd say that 'building' may (depending on the requirements of the MUD) encompass design, writing, and scripting as tasks.

However, in an LPC mud, building is coding of sorts.

Some MUDs are willing to let you learn to build on-line on their MUD.

Ours for example. Look at the advertising for staff entry from us entitled "Ancient Chaos looking for literate builders.

Our MUD is SMAUG based and full building manuals and how- to building notes are readily available.

If, after you read our ad, wish to persue investigating learning to build with us, drop in and say hi.

At Perished Lands - we are trying to rebuild our staff - and are looking for people willing to learn. If your interested - stop by - ask for Travestin or Bris, or Guelqwen. You can have full access to our building Server and if your up to the task - give you a place in the game.

You can visit our Website at

We are SMAUG based, and we have been running the game for 5 years.
