Old Server Software
Previous development efforts
- Indri
- Indri is a scriptable, threaded server designed to be easy to extend by
rule and world builders, using nothing more than a text editor, and with
a simple, clean API. Indri builds on many areas of the STAGE design, while
discarding others, to hopefully produce a consistent and scalable server.
- Brokerworld
- Brokerworld is a client & server designed to join the media, maps and
programs that make up worldforge. It's a system to enable world
designers to change any part of the game even while it's running. The
latest version is available in the worldforge cvs at
forge/servers/brokerworld. The design is based on the
law model.
- ChatWORLD
- A generic translation gateway. Originally started as a simple server,
this project has now transformed into a generic translation gateway.
This gateway is designed to translate different protocols to and from
each other. It currently aiming to support: Atlas, Cyphesis-Atlas, IRC,
ChatworldML, mcp.
- Pangea
- A broad-ranging effort exploring many areas with novel ideas, ranging
from event handling & server-server communication down to working
with various different development tools.
This is now being rewritten in java.
- QuADAS
- "Quick And Dirty Altima Server", a direct precursor to Qserver2 (along with Qserver1).
QuADAS helped to generate a lot of useful feedback to developers about how to create a
server and was succeeded by QServer2.
- QServer2
- Prototype server for demo1. This demo has been finished.
It was succeeded by BackStage.
- Backstage
- Intermediate prototype server that has been succeeded by STAGE development.
- STAGE
- STAGE is no longer under active development. STAGE is a quantum
leap from the foundations set by Qserver2. Whereas Qserver2 set out
to be an experiment in writing a server, STAGE will provide the
experience of creating a playable game. This means that STAGE will be a
valuable training ground for dealing with active players in a virtual
world with its own rules.
