The Magma MUD Codebase

The Magma MUD codebase is derived from UltraEnvy 0.87j by Vasco Alexandre da Silva Costa (also known as Zen). He continued to develop his codebase, eventually releasing GreedMUD 1.0 gold.

The parentage for Magma is:

DikuMUD --> Merc --> Envy --> UltraEnvy --> Magma.

Magma was originally used for Basternae 2 MUD, which was in operation from 1999-2005. Magma is based on the codebase as it was in 2000.

Releases

The current version of Magma is 3.04. Older versions should not be used.

There have also been some crash-related fixes. A download is available HERE at FindMUD. With this version you should be able to build, boot up, and play the game without any additional work needed.

11-24-07: A minor update to the Magma codebase, version 3.02, was released today. It's essentially just been updated to build with modern compilers. A download is available HERE at FindMUD.

Keep in mind that this is not the same codebase that is being used for Basternae 3. Magma is what Basternae 2 was built with.
