OLC

Sunday, June 4th, 2006

Wikipedia has an article about Online creation which has my name in it. It also has a bit of inaccuracy about the derivation of my code from way back when. I corrected a bit of it, but I’m not sure I really want to wade in and change more - it’s ancient history at this point. Still, you can judge for yourself: here’s the version of the OLC that was in the CircleMUD version of Ultraviolence, circa 1998 or so, directly descended from the CircleMUD patch I released: iedit.h, iedit.c, redit.h, redit.c, and the never before released (by me) medit.h and medit.c. This code is definitely not pluggable into a standard CircleMUD distribution, since it obviously depends on a whole lot of custom crap from the original Ultraviolence (which includes.. guns and ammo, if you look at iedit.c. How prophetic). OasisOLC’s medit doesn’t derive from this either.
