Dev Features (copied from Roy's post on the cubedevblog)
*P2P Networking – All information is stored in a cloud. Models, maps, everything. No central server means that there’s no downtime, and no need to worry about which server your friends are on. Uses Free Pastry for communication. Although this is all independent of our Sauer mods, it's a big deal, so I had to mention it!
*Socket level control of Sauerbraten - We've spliced in a socket to communicate with Sauer so you can control the engine from any outside application that uses this protocol. We're writing our stuff in Groovy but you could make your own game using Python or what have you. This allows developers to use whatever language they wish.
*World of Warcraft style mouse handling - Sauers mouse handling is frightening for anything other than an FPS, so we've reworked it to be exactly like WoW's. You can even orbit the camera around your toon for screenshots. There are still some bugs/quirks with this in edit mode, but in general it makes editing Sauer maps so much easier.
*Randomly generated maze maps - Nothing too fancy, but we don't have many artists helping on the project yet so anything that up the appearance of content is good. Our sauer socket protocol has additional functions to allow external creation of maps.
*Importing of Dwarf Fortress maps - There's a popular indie game called Dwarf Fortress which uses old school ASCII style maps. We have an importer that can load these maps into Sauer using the same interface as the random maze generation.
*Custom models/costumes – I wrote a model importer that imports md2 and md3 models and creates the md3.cfg so you can load them into Sauer. We modded the engine to allow changing player models on the fly.
*Glass Pane Image Layer. Add in images and text to the hud on the fly.
!Upcoming
*Sandboxed, mobile code (attached to maps, libraries in the cloud)
~PCs can only perform limited actions without approval
* talking
* looking around
* walking within range of the current beacon
Actions requiring approval
* moving to another beacon
* shooting things
* moving things
* opening things (doors, chests, etc.)
When a PC is awaiting approval, it FREEZES
* it doesn't queue up multiple requests and overload the moderator
The hudgun will change based on context (i.e. where the cursor is)
* walking
* interacting with an object
* interacting with a monster
Interaction
* if there is one choice, indicate it with the hudgun
* if there is more than one choice
** indicate multiple with the hudgun
** pop up a menu for the player to choose an appropriate action
*Basic Interaction
*Networking
**Sauerbraten uses a high performance, client/server network layer.
**Since we are using Java to control Sauerbraten, we have the option of using one of several available p2p platforms instead of Sauerbraten's networking
**This may unacceptably impact performance, but we'll start off using [[Pastry|http://freepastry.rice.edu]] and see where that leads us
**Since MUDS are more social, they may not need such rapid interaction (the ones we wrote in the late 80s were certainly a lot slower than what we can do today).

What can you use a peer-to-peer network for? Messaging and file sharing. Duh.
How about a hive-mind?
We have a new feature now: Groovy code for maps. In Sauerbraten, your map is stored in a map.ogz file. Plexus stores each map in its own directory in your profile's cache. You can use textures and sounds just like you would normally, store in the packages directory and also from the current map's directory, using a variable that provides the cache directory which currently contains the map. As usualy, there is a map.cfg file, but there is also an important map.groovy file which you can provide.
Map.groovy can contain Groovy code which executes in a sandbox in the peer. This means you can load other peoples' maps with their associated Groovy code and you don't have to worry about their code accessing your files. We use the Java sandbox to restrict read and write access to only the map's directory (among other draconian restrictions). Please, if you are into this sort of thing, check out our Sandbox.groovy code to verify for yourself! So you have groovy code that can live in each map. We also provide a mapProps map (i.e. hash table) for you which you can use to store persistent map data. It's reinitialized when maps load, but map.groovy can save and load data with it. And we provide a globalProps map that maps can share with each other. We'll also provide some cloud storage access for stronger persistence.
OK, so you have code for each map. Now you can make brains for shop keepers, traps, etc. and of course you can use this to implement game mechanics. In the next weeks and months, we're going to implement "cloud libraries" which you can use in your map.groovy code. This will allow people to write game mechanics and other frameworks that you can use across different maps. We'll be upgrading the plexus cache to be a real Git cache (it already shares some ideas with Git anyway; it implements content-addressable files and directories) and you'll be able to configure your peer to back up selected parts of the cloud in your own private Git cache, for good measure. This will help protect the integrity of the cloud, since there is no central server.
That's all kind of a logical extension of what we have, but there's something more that I'm pretty interested in seeing actually run. We plan to allow distributed control of brains. The current idea is to make brains //relatively// stateless, so that each "tick," a brain "wakes up" and starts over (kind of like the movie Memento). This model allows brains to transfer around between peers. The peer in a world with an ID closest to the brain's ID will control it. This is using a DHT to arbitrate control over the set of available brains. When peers join or leave from a world, brains will shuffle around to accommodate the new state of the ring (Pastry nodes are arranged in a ring, according to their ~IDs). To help manage this, brains will have two "storage areas:" a local "peer area" for incidental bookkeeping and a global "cloud area" for major information that has to be restored when a brain jarringly transfers over to another peer.
All of the peers have the code for all of the brains because they come with the map but a given brain will only have one 'pilot peer' at a time. A world's DHT consists of only the peers in that world, not the full Plexus Pastry ring. Pastry doesn't have "subrings" right now that would make this easy to implement, but each world does use a SCRIBE topic for communication, so we can leverage that. My current approach is to use a cloud properties object (like the one that Plexus uses for players, maps, and costumes) to assign brains to peers. Maybe the topic root can be in charge of shuffling brains after a join or leave. Right now, cloud properties are not stored in PAST -- they are read in by the root peer and then managed entirely with SCRIBE and direct messaging (for booting), but that can change if it's not good enough.

!2008 6/19 Capture the Flag
Well, a new version of Sauerbraten is out: Capture the Flag (http://www.cubeengine.com/forum.php4?action=display_thread&thread_id=1782). I made a "dist" branch and put it in there and tagged the assassin version and that one (with date tags). I'll have to merge that into the main branch now. Let's see how well git's famous merging capabilities work...
[[Philosophy|docs/p2pmud-old/philosophy.html]]
[[Tutorial|docs/p2pmud-old/tutorial.html]]
[[Parser|docs/p2pmud-old/parser_tutorial.html]]
Here is a slippery topic. At the most basic level, peer to peer (p2p) used to mean that applications communicate directly instead of having to use a server (or several servers). Peer to peer has come to mean the use of an "overlay" network atop a conventional network. There is no central control in a pure p2p network.
!NOTE! THIS IS FROM OUR PREVIOUS PROJECT, ~P2PMUD, BUT THE PHILOSOPHY CARRIES ON IN PLEXUS

<p><h2>Basic design goals and philosophy behind the p2pmud project</h2>
<p>Read this if you're interested in developing with p2pmud
<p>p2pmud is written in a combination of XUL and Javascript. XUL is an XML based language used for describing UI
(user interface) and if you are a coding/scripting type of person you've surely heard of Javascript. Odds are
however, you probably don't really know today's Javascript.
<p>Javascript has silently evolved over the last few years. While it started out as a clunkly little scripting
language, it has blossomed into a very dynamic, full-featured language. Java may have gotten the spotlight
for a long time, but its going to have to move over and make way for Javascript sometime soon.
<h2>p2pmud is a layered system</h2>
Each layer builds or relies on the previous layers beneath them. You can choose
to pitch in and help out on the project at any layer(s) that suit you. There is a core layer, Level I, which
provides a foundation layer. The next layer implementing actual game mechanics, is called Level II. Sometimes
people are referred to by their Level, where Level here describes what they like to do. Someone who likes to
create adventures and populate them with monsters and treasure is referred to Level III. They may or may not
write anything in Javascript, they may just use what was provided by Level II. Level IV is considered a player
who doesn't code or build at all, they just want to play. Level IV's are not to be looked down upon, after all,
they are ultimately the ones we went to all this trouble for!
<h2 class="cmd">Level I</h2>
P2PMud at its heart implements mechanism, NOT policy. P2PMud is an enabling technology to provide the framework
to make distributed MUDs work. It provides the ability for each local mud to discover other MUDs and create dynamic
portals between them. We're not talking just instant messages here either. When your character steps through a portal,
they and all their inventory are streamed across the virtual network so they actually appear in the other MUD. It also
affords transaction base world persistence, meaning it continuously saves the state of your local MUD so it is *always*
backed up and can be restored from any point. No matter whatever happens out there, you are safe in knowing you can always
put things back the way they were on your own MUD. p2pmud provides access to all of this from a Javascript interface.
<h2 class="cmd">Level II</h2>
Since just a framework by itself is not very interesting, p2pmud provides a default game mechanics system (GMS)
written in Javascript. This reference layer can be used as is to create your own world, or you can modify it as you see
fit to build your own GMS! This is where all of the game mechanics are described and game policy is implemented. Love d20
rules? Start a project to implement d20!
<h2 class="cmd">Level III</h2>
Even a GMS by itself is not too useful to players. If your love is building worlds and adventures, just pick a
GMS that suits you and start building away. Each GMS will have a set of tools or commands you can use to create rooms,
spaceships, weapons, monsters, or whatever. They likely will come will entire libraries of objects you can use to build with.
If you get bit by the scripting bug, you too can use Javascript to implement that +20 flaming broadsword with whatever special
powers you can dream up! Whichever GMS you choose will provide an interface for game interactions your scripts can build on.
<h2 class="cmd">Level IV</h2>
If you're screaming that you just want to play already, the intent is that each GMS comes with a default world
that consists of a single house your character can live in. Install p2pmud and your GMS of choice. Once you've launched it,
you can use the peer discovery to create portals to worlds created by other people. Venture out through a portal into the virtual
world, kill the baddies and get the girl! Maybe some day you'll learn to understand why others love to build so much and choose
to expand your own little corner of the world!
<p>Objects created in one GMS are not likely to work in another, so we expect to see a number of different virtual worlds spring
up around each GMS. Since the GMS layers implement policy, these will likely start to develop around particular themes. For
example, one GMS might be more suited for space adventures, one for ancient worlds, etc.

P2PMud is a peer-to-peer multiuser dungeon with a [[long history|Reloaded]]
And it's The Killer App of the Future!
The //''P2PMud [[Reloaded]]''// project adds support to the fantastic ''[[Sauerbraten|http://sauerbraten.org]]'' engine to allow remote scripting and hooking in at deep levels, with the goal of minimizing changes to the Sauerbraten source code.
Part of this is putting in hooks for moderated play, for instance, chain of command-style hooks for weapon hits. You can register a hook that Sauerbraten calls instead of the normal hit code. The hook may invoke a "defaulthit" command to proceed with normal damage.
[[Here|http://repo.or.cz/w/SauerbratenRemote.git?a=blob_plain;f=index.html;hb=HEAD]] is the latest version of this document and [[here|http://repo.or.cz/w/SauerbratenRemote.git]] is the source code repository.

P2PMud traces its roots back to the murky depths history in 1988 when Roy Riggs first wrote a tiny multi-user dungeon in C, one of the earliest ~MMORPGs that ran over the Internet (while, maybe an MORPG, anyway.) It took only a matter of days, or perhaps even hours, for Bill Burdick to join Roy in this glorious endevour and together they formed the sinister TEAM CTHULHU!
Since that time, TEAM CTHULHU's MUD has metamophosed many times, each time shedding its carapace to reveal something bizarrely different from its predecessor.
You can even see a reference to TEAM CTHULHU in the CREDITS file of [[LPMud|http://www.genesismud.org/]]. We came up with an idea called "forwarders" for our original MUD which became "shadows" in ~LPMud. There's a fairly early version of ~LPMud [[here|http://ibiblio.net/pub/historic-linux/ftp-archives/sunsite.unc.edu/Nov-06-1994/games/muds/]].
!TEAM CTHULHU Timeline
#Fall 1988, Roy Riggs write a miniscule MUD in C
#Fall 1988, Bill Burdick jumps on board and we write a Franz LISP-based version, quickly switching to KCL
#Fall 1988, we switch to our own language, MOB, a multiple-inheritance, OOPL on top of LISP, with Smalltalk-like syntax in square brackets (ala Objective-C)
**over the next two years, we get 4 semesters of credit for enhancements to this version
#Summer 1990, we switch to Sean Barrett's excellent Sludge VM, which supports prototype-based inheritance.
#...
#Spring 2002, we start p2pmud in using JXTA and Kawa, a Scheme implementation on top of Java
#Early 2004, we switch to Mozilla and Javascript. The MUD lives entirely in one HTML file on your disk (like tiddly wiki). Your browser hooks up to other browsers via a PHP "switchboard"
**Several releases on the p2pmud.com website
#Fall 2005, we commission Steven Missal to create Lovecraftian art
#Spring 2008, we switch to Sauerbraten, Groovy, and Pastry (on top of Java)

*P2PMud is currently based on the Assassin version of Sauerbraten, which you can download [[here|http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=102911&package_id=110363&release_id=563483]]
*This repository is an Eclipse project, so you'll probably want Eclipse and the CDT feature for C/C++
Once you have the stuff, you need to:
*Build the project
*Copy/link sauer_client and scripts/autoexec.cfg into the top level of the sauerbraten directory (in the same directory as server.bat).
*Start the groovy command server in Eclipse (using the Cmd Server launcher)
*Start sauer (I find it's much better to start up with the -t option when testing, so it doesn't take over my screen)
