About this resource

Original sundermud-2.1.tar.gz. Historical C source, world data and release documentation.

Credits
Lotherius, Zeran and SunderMUD contributors. ROM by Russ Taylor and contributors; Merc by Michael Chastain, Michael Quan and Mitchell Tse; DikuMUD by Sebastian Hammer, Michael Seifert, Hans Henrik Staerfeldt, Tom Madsen and Katja Nyboe. Preserve all component and area credits. Additional contributors include Jason Dinkel, Talen, N-Atas-Ha and Erwin S. Andreasen. Newt, Oliver Jowett and Roger Libiez / Samson are also credited.

License and attribution
Bundled DikuMUD, Merc and release-specific ROM terms apply, including noncommercial restrictions, preserved notices, login/help credits, naming restrictions and applicable notification requirements. These are not unrestricted-use licenses. Historical contact details may no longer work; distribution permission remains for staff review.

SunderMUD is based on ROM 2.3, not ROM 2.4. Preserve SunderMUD login credits, naming restrictions and all inherited terms. The standalone 1.0 notice requires an email; the consolidated 2.x notice strikes that old-address requirement and requests notification instead.

Compatibility and safety warnings
Historical software, not compiled, boot-tested or security-audited by Mudhaven. Modern compiler, operating-system and save/world compatibility is unverified. Review all scripts and runtime defaults before deployment; no malware-free assurance.

The original setup scripts are documented as unreliable across systems. Review crypt/zlib dependencies, manual configuration and historical runtime files before deployment.

Compatibility

Historical ROM-derived C code and world formats; release-specific compiler, operating-system and data compatibility must be checked.

A download checksum confirms file integrity, not security or runtime compatibility. Review the source and included documentation before running unfamiliar software.

Attribution stays with the work.

License

Original contributor and inherited terms; licensing approval pending
