VMUSH - A MUSH and MUD Platform for Python

WARNING: Early Alpha!

Pardon our dust, this project is still in its infancy. It kinda runs, but if you're not a developer intent on sprucing it up, it may not have much for you just yet.

INTRO

Building off the solid MUSH framework provided by PyMUSH , VMUSH is a working implementation of PyMUSH, meant to be the successor to the popular Volund MUSHCode Suite but with a few twists to make it suitable for MUDs as well as MUSHes.

OKAY, BUT HOW DO I USE IT?

Glad you asked!

You can install vmush using pip install vmush

This adds the vmush command to your shell. use vmush --help to see what it can do.

The way that athanor and projects built on it work:

vmush --init <folder> will create a folder that contains your game's configuration, save files, database, and possibly some code. Enter the folder and use vmush start and vmush stop to control it. you can use --app server or --app portal to start/stop specific programs.

Do note that VMUSH is built upon Django, so vmush migrate is needed to create the initial database.

Examine the appdata/config.py and portal.py and server.py - which get their initial configuration from pymush's defaults - for how to change the server's configuration around.

OKAAAAAAY, SO HOW DO I -REALLY- USE IT?

The created by --init must be filled with Python code and configuration changes fit for your game (or, alternatively, code can be put 'anywhere' as long as it's visible on the Python path), then any further changes needed must be implemented in MUSHcode. Be sure to keep backups of this folder!

What, that still isn't enough? Well...

VMUSH retains the extendability of the PyMUSH framework it's built upon. Because you can replace any and all classes the program uses for its startup routines, and the launcher itself is a class, it's easy-peasy to create a whole new library with its own command-based launcher and game template that the launcher creates a skeleton of with --init <folder>.

Not gonna lie though - that does need some Python skills.
