Does anybody have a copy of the med sourcecode? Ideally not the 1996 buggy version but the later version which was out there somewhere? Source Code, as the name suggests, it is the source of a program, the file original which is written by the programmer. The line above is sufficient if you are looking for a definition of the Source Code, adding to this, the following points will help in a better understanding of the topic.

FAQ Frequently Asked Questions • The code you've reviewed is Medievia III, not Medievia IV! On the, Vryce states that 'Medievia IV used our new HoloCode module that created a vast interactive real wilderness of 4 million rooms'. Well, the version of the code which I reviewed contains the holocode system and associated commands - don't believe me?

It was originally from the that I downloaded the source code which I reviewed on this site. Hadees in kannada pdf download. Within about a day of the site going up, it had been pulled down again - but now it's back, along with the fax from Vryce which requested that the site be taken down.

Because it was distributing 'Medievia version 4.1 C code and libraries from 1996', signed 'Michael A. Krause' (Vryce). He has now actually admitted that the code is Medievia IV! Here is a copy of the fax (although I recommend you also take a look at the to find out the full story):,. • But not all the messages are the same as Medievia IV The code I reviewed is datestamped 4th Februry 1996. That's over 4 years ago - more than enough time to change a few text messages.

For example here is a comparison of the 'bless' spell:: 35 lines.: 34 lines (60% stock).: 34 lines (46% stock).: 21 identical lines.: 21 identical lines.: 16 identical lines. I know it's only a small example, but I've only had access to a very small part of the current Medievia code. Still, it's enough to prove the point. • If someone has a mud with a (whatever) base, and over time rewrites the underlying code so that it no longer bears resemblance to (whatever) base, then it seems to me that it clearly no longer is (whatever) base. Fredrik Lnnergren says 'Eh.so, with your line of reasoning, if I bash an apple into a curved shape and paint it yellow, it's a banana?

When does an apple cease to be an apple? When you flavor it with banana taste? When you add a banana peel? When you slap on a 'Chiquita' label on it? 'Is' and 'appears to be' is not equal'. • But they give credit to the Diku team! AxL says 'If you had bothered to read the license you would know that it calls for the 'credits' command as well as a listing in the login sequence'.

Angela Christine says 'Credit is given, but it's what my grandmother would have called a 'backhanded compliment' a slap in the face paired with a compliment. Credit is given in the form of 'these guys did great work a long time ago, but it has nothing to us.' ' • Vryce doesn't make any profit, the donations are just to cover his expenses. I don't know how much Vryce's connection costs, but Inetsolve charge $535.00 setup and $1620.00 per year for a dedicated machine. I believe Vryce only started charging players in 1995, so that would work out at (($535/5)+$1620) $1727.00 per year to keep the mud running. Now according to the description of Medievia that Vryce wrote on, there are 18,000 active players on the mud. Having spoken to some Medievia players, I've discovered that the most commonly purchased item is a talisman for $50.

If less than 0.2% of Medievia's active playerbase bought one $50 item per year - that's a total of 35 such items per year - Medievia would be making a profit. Quest for fire youtube. An ex-Medievia player (who wishes to remain anonymous) says 'The way the Medievia donation system is setup now, in order to have top-of-the-line stats and abilities (special abilities ONLY available via donation items), a player would have to lay out an initial investment of $300-400 (1 mana talisman, 1 hitpoint talisman, aura, blessing, charm, chime, container, focus, and shrine @$300, add $100 for an additional set of talismans - many players buy 2 of each), followed by a $160 yearly fee to keep everything except the talismans from becoming ineffective. One year of EQ/AC/UO requires an initial cost of $35 or so, and 11 months of playing time at approximately $10/month (these games all have the first month free). So, it'll cost me around $145 to play a commercial, graphical MMORPG the first year, then $120 each additional year.

And I get to make monthly payments. Medievia will cost $300-400 for the first 'year' (whenever I choose to donate), and $160 (or $13.34/mth) for each additional year, if I want to have the best stats and abilities. In order to make the spammy donation message go away, I *must* spend at least $50 for a talisman.From personal experience, I do know people who have donated well over $1000 to the game during their length of play. 'I've visited his home - a divorced programmer (with no college degree), paying child support can't afford a new Chrysler Seabrig convertible (complete with leather seats!), a rather nice townhome in a suburb (he's moved since this - if I recall, he bought a house), original artwork on the walls, and a taste for mary jane like he has on just his work income. That's not to say he absorbs all of the extra just taking care of his needs, anytime someone hosts a Medievia party that he attends, he usually shells out a few hundred to help defray the costs'. • If Medievia is so bad, why do so many people play it? A big part of it is the duration that the mud has been around, although I'm sure the advertising helps (even the flames often help, unfortunately, because many of todays younger players simply don't care if they're playing a mud that violates the appropriate licenses).
