Re: [orca-list] gnome-mud



Best thing to do is download tintin-alteraeon and all of its dependencies. Once that's done if you're in a graphical environment like gnome, you get an alteraeon button on the desktop and can use that button to start alteraeon. If you hear some sounds from your computer speakers you don't normally hear when you start alteraeon up, you have clicked the right button so give it a few seconds then check out the screen. The alteraeon mud is nearly one of the first muds to come into existence and has had lots of support even up to today so it is a very large mud in which to run characters.

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There is another project for Empire MUD, but it has fallen a bit out of date.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
