Pueblo-enhanced servers |
Tribe is Chaco's hypermedia 3D multiuser virtual world server. It coordinates multiuser animation, voice, and location information in real-time, and can accommodate up to 500 simultaneous users per server computer. It is especially suitable for use with Pueblo, Chaco's multimedia client application. It can also be used with other multiuser client applications.
Tribe runs on Windows/NT, Windows95, and Unix platforms.

We also provide instructions so you can modify your MUD server to support Pueblo. It is very easy to modify most MUD servers to systematically display exits and object as hyperlinks, so a user need not type "north", or "look snake". Our patches are very careful not to change the look-and-feel of MUD servers when a user connects through a plain-text client like telnet, so you don't have to worry about locking out non-Pueblo users.
Adding multimedia to an existing MUD is also easy. We suggest that you add multimedia piecemeal, after you've converted your MUD to display hyperlinks.
