Re: [orca-list] gnome-mud

Howdy,

Ah ok. I wonder if speech-dispacher  is available  on chromebooks? Or what speech API is available there?

Cheers Chrys

Howdy,
Personally, I  MUD from the console, using the screen reader Fenrir: https://github.com/chrys87/fenrir

I am the developer of the tintin-alteraeon pack, so everything is well tested on the console side of 
things. I do have some users who do everything from within gnome using Orca. So, I try my best to keep 
things working there too.

In fact, it should even work in Macs. I hear that voiceover's terminal support leaves a lot to be desired 
though. I think that TDSR is supposed to work on macs too though, so that may be an option. I'm sure Fenrir 
could be extended to work in a Mac invironment. It is designed to be easily extendable and will have 
terminal emulator support soon as well as being a full featured console screen reader.

I know there was some interest in porting it over to BSD too, but I'm not sure if anyone is still 
interested in doing that or not.

So, if you are interested in the tintin-alteraeon pack, or need help, feel free to contact me off list. I 
can also help with Fenrir setup if needed. The tintin-alteraeon pack should work just as well using Orca 
and gnome-terminal as it does in console though. You may want to disable the menu access keys for 
gnome-terminal though. This will let you use quick navigation keys as well as the setkey function in the 
pack.

Howdy,
Gnome-mud is sort of a graphical client. What it actually does, is 
wrap a terminal in a graphical box. It even had the old bug with VTE 
that caused the first character to be omitted . I'm pretty sure that 
bug has been fixed now.

If you try something like tintin++, it's pretty much the same thing. 
Tintin++, by the way, has much much better trigger, alias, macro, 
etc support than gnome-mud. It is what the Alter Aeon pack is based 
on, and all of the users seem to find it reasonably easy to use. The 
project is located at 
https://github.com/stormdragon2976/tintin-alteraeon

There is another project for Empire MUD, but it has fallen a bit out 
of date. Also, there is one for that other space game, Miriani or 
whatever it is called. I haven't done anything with that in years 
though, so I'm not sure where the code is for it. I just helped some 
friends start the project and I'm not even sure if they have kept up 
with it or not.

If you would like to have a graphical launcher for tintin, you can 
write a desktop file so you can just press enter on it and it will 
open a tintin++ session for you in a terminal. It will, in 
appearance, be just like a graphical client. Tintin++ is probably 
the best choice for mudding for several reasons, including it is 
actively developed, and is the only one I know of that supports SSL.

I believe, as far as accessibility goes, you will get the best 
results using gnome-terminal. It doesn't have that many dependancies 
if yo uare using a different desktop like mate. I haven't tried mate 
terminal in a while though, so it may be just as good.

Howdy,

Mate-terminal and launch Tintin?

But that is a terminal? Isnt also gnome-mud just a termial wrapper?
if you are on debian did you try:
aptitude search mud | grep client
or
apt-cache search mud | grep client
to search some in your repository? maybe you will find something
usefull if you dont like tintin.
In my Arch repo there is a big flood of mud clients. i tried several,
but those are all just show me an terminal with more or less clickable
gimicks to edit the connection information.

Howdy,

my girlfriend is using powwow. many people here are using tintin++
as far as i know. but those are for sure terminal based clients
(both are easy to use, free and powerful). what brings me to my
question:
Isn't a MUD a terminal only game? how do i play a terminal based
game without an terminal?
sorry for my stupidness ( i never played a mud by myself). i just
see what my girlfriend is doing lol and that seems not to be very
graphical.

cheers chrys
