Historical Yampmud snapshot of the Distortions of Chaos source and world tree, with additional and modified source, original credits and component license notices.
About this resource
Original DoC-Fixed-yampmud-master.zip containing the yampmud-master source tree, world data, configuration and documentation. It includes additional and modified source files and empty .noprune placeholders. The filename's Fixed label is not proof of safety, modern compatibility or a documented upgrade path. The patch maintainer is not established by the inspected documentation; do not attribute every later change to the original DoC author. Credits Carl F. Otto III (Distortions): most DoC changes. Special thanks to Justin Thomas (Samoth) and Nicole Sativa Kurlish (Khaos). Preserve the DikuMUD, Merc, ROM, RoT, DRM, source, area and individual contributor credits. The snapshot also includes src/LICENSE.FD, copyright 2000 by the staff of Fatal Dimensions. Its component redistribution terms require preservation of the copyright, conditions and disclaimer; they do not replace the whole-package inherited licenses. License warning Preserve doc/DoC.license, DRM.license, license.doc, license.txt, rom.license, rot.license, rom.credits and all README documents. These layered terms include inherited noncommercial restrictions, source and area attribution, login-screen and help credits, applicable notification requirements, and identification as both a RoT 1.4 and DoC derivative in MUD listings. The DoC license refers to rot.txt while the included document is named rot.license; this historical discrepancy is retained. Archive availability does not itself establish that all redistribution conditions have been satisfied. Historical contact addresses may no longer work. The snapshot also includes src/LICENSE.FD, copyright 2000 by the staff of Fatal Dimensions. Its component redistribution terms require preservation of the copyright, conditions and disclaimer; they do not replace the whole-package inherited licenses. Compatibility and safety warnings The README describes C source optimized and cleaned up for GCC 3.1, with default port 7200 configured in src/start-doc. DoC describes this as an alpha public release that may contain bugs, with no promised updates or support. Older inherited Merc build instructions may not apply to this snapshot. Modern compiler and operating-system compatibility are unverified. Neither package was compiled, boot-tested, malware-certified or comprehensively security-audited. Review startup scripts and historical configuration/state text before use; do not execute them blindly. No compiled ELF/MZ programs or nonempty player-save, board or log files were identified in this inspection, but that is not a safety guarantee.
Compatibility
Historical RoT/ROM-derived C source; README targets GCC 3.1. Modern Unix/Linux toolchain compatibility unverified.
