Multilanguage web
Date: May 7, 2020 Author:

Just a small note, we’ve made the maldorne.org web multilanguage, as you can see in the dropdown selector in the upper-right corner. Most of the contents (like this post) are written both in english and spanish, and you just have to change the language to browse the web the way you prefer or understand better.

By default the chosen language would be english (set when you visit the maldorne.org home page).

Updated 5th Nov 2021: now the web is only in english, with no dropdown and without multiple languages.

New web client
Date: April 5, 2020 Author:

We’ve recovered the web client which was available in the old ciudadcapital.net web page, and it’s now available in the play page, which you can find in the web header.

Some techno-babble:

It was difficult to make it work, because we had to update two old projects which did not work with secure web pages (https://). You can find both updated projects in github.com, just in case some of you would want to take a look, use them or suggest some improvement or change:

  • mud-web-client is the web client you can see in our web. It connects through secure web sockets (wss://) to a proxy between the client and the telnet mud.
  • mud-web-proxy is the proxy running in the mud server, that provides the translation between wss and telnet.

Comments are welcome, both in the github issues or through the House of Maldorne Twitter.

The new House of Maldorne web
Date: January 15, 2020 Author:

As you can see, we are building the new House of Maldorne web page. The previous one we were using was just a placeholder without much content, and we were already missing having a real web presence.

To begin with, we have a blog, and we have imported the contents from the old www.ciudadcapital.net web, the main game we host. All of these old contents are in spanish, but from now on every post will be written both in english and spanish.

Why abandon the old game web? For the last couple years, all the work we have been doing in the Maldorne organization has been focused in developing a new platform to host the games, called Hexagon, whose objective is to host different games inside the same environment.

We think it’s a better solution to group all the information about the different games, about Hexagon and about the Maldorne organization in the same place, so we could focus in just one web.

So, every post you could find before this one will be older (between 2009 and 2017) and will be focused in just one game. From now on, we will be writing about different things, and in both languages.

Actualizaciones en la web
Date: July 4, 2017

Podréis ver que se ha añadido un nuevo logo de Ciudad Capital en la cabecera de la web, y se ha mejorado todo en general para que sea más visible desde móviles, con unos tamaños de letra e imágenes algo más legibles, junto con un menú desplegable para ocupar menos espacio.
