new mud client and stuff

[Chris Sprague]

im working on a new mud client with a buddy of mine, itll be givin megamud the boot.



its an open source (like, you dont pay for it, and you dont have to look at stupid ads either) project and will run on any linux/unix with ncurses



i know some of you are interested in scripting on linux =p



cougar let me know about you guys



smiley faces and shit:

:afire: :lol: :sad: :cheesy: :wstupid: :rolleyes: :hump:



hehe



so yea. ill probably be posting here a bit more in the future.



we'll be accepting "beta testers" soon so let us know if you're interested

[Reckless]

what's with the linux ports??? Not many people use linux...make it portable!!!

[Chris Sprague]

well im always accepting suggestions, at least we're a development team that's accesible (as compared to megamuds)



and our code is available aby CVS, you get the most current version (current as in hourly current)



we intend to put in web based script checking and SMS messaging



of course thatll be months in the future

Yeah, no shit.. Nobody uses linux nowadays. Espesially for playing major mud.

you should cooperate with Abaddon, Chris...



he's got a good thing



do you have any screenshots? or are you talking about the same project?

[Relorian]

Make it few Windows.....

[Chris Sprague]

the point is to be able to put the client on a remote server, or run a server with the program as a daemon so you dont have to have your computer on all night to script. the program is run in text (ncurses) so you can telnet into the server from a mac or windows if you wanted. making another client for windows is kind of overdone...



can somebody post the url to this other fellows linux efforts?

bah screw linux..everyone who's willing to make term progs has linux..that blows.

[Abaddon]

I am the author of the Linux terminal that was mentioned. It is very similar in look and feel to megamud, but with a number of improvements. The combat, spellcasting, and message/response systems are much more sophisticated. It is in the 'beta' stages, check out the these threads:
