DreamLand MUD: static web site pages and searcher app.

Local development

To start searcher app locally on http://localhost:8001, run

cd searcher.js
npm i
npm run start

To generate static HTML pages from templates, run:

cd website.js
npm i
npm run website /path/to/dreamland/runtime

To start simple web server that will serve static content, run these commands from the main dreamland_web folder:

npm i
npm run start

Website is now available on http://localhost:8000

Prerequisites

You will need some source files for the searcher to work:

/tmp/db_armor.json
/tmp/db_weapon.json
/tmp/db_magic.json
/tmp/db_pets.json

These can be generated by running searcher dump command inside your local copy of the DreamLand MUD server. Alternatively, you can request samples from the project admins.

You will also need some area files to generate Maps page of the site. You can grab them from the DreamLand World repo.

To generate News section, the following files are needed:

/tmp/news.xml
/tmp/story1.xml
/tmp/story2.xml

Again, either run webdump news, webdump story on your local server, or ask admins for samples.
