I’m pretty new to Multi-User Dungeons so i’m not sure this question makes sense. It seems like every MUD engine i’ve seen that mentions a day/night cycle makes no mention of localized time, or it being day in one part of a large world and night in another part at the same time.
I’m considering trying to make my own MUD, and this (along with localized weather) is something i’d want it to have. If no engine supports this, how hard should i expect it to be to make this work in an existing engine?
Is there anything else i should know, since i currently don’t have much experience in anything more complicated than Inform6?
I used to play a modified circlemud 3.0
Iirc different “zones” could have different weather, though I can’t remember if the they had different day night cycles, but even if they didn’t that doesn’t mean you can’t make it work the way you want it to.
Not sure what you are planning but I may have a bunch of old zmud maps, and I have a spreadsheet and a .TXT document with a while bunch of items statted out that I would be willing to give to you. I might even be able to connect you with someone who last hosted/ran the one I played. Would have to see if they are still around
