ah now i got it :). sorry i misunderstood "not terminal based" so i thought about there will be some real graphic or sound with an gaming interface or similar. So wanted here is an terminal embed into an GUI with some settings helper and quick functions. So "not terminal based" does not mean without terminal but no command line only application.
i assume the application needs to use VTE and best GTK then to be accessible then.

i asked yaourt and got the following hits maybe you can try:
- kildclient: A powerful MUD client written for GTK+ and support for Perl.
- ggmud:  GTK2 mud client inspired by tintin and sclient.
- mudmagic: A GTK2 mud client with automapper
- sclient: A small GTK-based MUD client for X
- Papaya: GTK mud client for Linux/Solaris/Windows

sadly i cannot tell you how active, dated or accessible they are. but since they are based on GTK it may be worth to give a try.

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There is another project for Empire MUD, but it has fallen a bit out of date.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