O.L.C.
Online Creation, or OLC is a type of software add-on
for Dikumud variant online text adventure games, written originally by the creators of Hidden Worlds and released publicly
as NiMUD by authors Christopher "Surreal" Woodward (deceased) and Herbert "Locke" Gilliland in 1992 and 1993, respectively.
It changed the way Dikumud worlds were created, providing an outlet for those who
wished to edit the game. The software's popularity continues to grow, as it has been ported to a variety of MUD softwares
and is currently included in at least 35 derived works. OLC became known as "EnvyOLC" and "ILAB/OLC" after Jason Dinkel ported
this work to other MUD softwares.
In 1996, SMAUG was released with its own completely
independent "Online Building" system, which was inspired by an older non-OLC online building system used by some SillyMUDs.
It was later revealed through examination that this software was, as well, similar to OLC and was probably "reverse engineered"
from the original OLC.

Tides of Blood Building Guide.
You know, I was going to design my own guide that explained all
the facts of building on a ROM style MUD. However, I find that the best one out there is at this site here. It's better than anything I could come up with.
Instead, I'm going to give the Do's and Don't of what I want to
see out of each of you. If you have any comments about this, be sure to email or note me.
The purpose of this text is to help Sirrion and Paladine
come to a consensus on building standards, and to lay out the building standards for those who wish to contribute new areas
to Tides of Blood.
Sirrion is responsible for keeping this up to date, and any
questions about the information on this site shall be referred to him.
Thank you for your interest!
