MUD Map v2

by Neop

A mapping tool for text-based games like text adventures, MUDs and MUSHs.

License: GPLv3 Use it at your own risk!

Consider MUD map unmaintained since I don't have enough time and motivation to work on it. It is usable but I likely won't fix issues (unless they are trivial) or add new features.

Requirements:

• a PC with Java JRE 8 or newer (tested with Linux and Windows)

Quick start guide

There is a quick start guide in the help menu explaining the basic features.

Keyboard shortcuts

You can find a list in the help menu or here: docs/keyboard_shortcuts.md

Building MUD Map

To build MUD Map from source you will need a Java 7 JDK and Maven. The following command compiles MUD Map and creates a JAR file in the 'target' directory:

mvn package

Note: The correct JAR file is 'mudmap2-2.x.x-jar-with-dependencies.jar', NOT 'mudmap2-2.x.x.jar'! The following description assumes that the former JAR got renamed to 'mudmap2-2.x.x.jar'.

Installation

You will need a Java 8 Runtime Environment (JRE) to run MUD Map and the MUD Map JAR file which you can download (see links above) or compile yourself. Place it wherever you like.

Starting MUD Map

If your operating system is set up to associate JAR file with Java you will be able to start MUD Map with a double click on the JAR file.

Otherwise call the following command on command line or use start_mudmap.sh (Linux). This might also provide more information in case of problems.

java -jar mudmap2-2.x.x.jar
