Chat program

In the mud i play, many ppl use chat, like on MM or MM2k, to keep in touch. As MUSHclient doesn't feature this does anyone know of a standalone program that does the same thing? I don't know how the MM chat works so i don't really know what to look for.

Apparently no.. I did a bit of nosing around on google and as near as I can tell MM and MM2K have there own chat setup and don't feel like telling anyone how it works. However I think I can guess. I think it may be possible to make it work using mushclient scripts. To do so you would need to get your hands on something like a javascript telnet client, like this one:

http://javassh.org/download/jta25b-src.jar

and take it appart to find what makes it tick, then build a script for mushclient that uses this and the syntax from MM to chat.

Some potential problems though are:
A) if the above can be converted at all (though it should be possible).
B) if MM an MM2K use ssh, instead of normal telnet for chat.

I am not sure where you would even begin at this point..

MudMaster chat is documented, and it is on my list of things to do to add it to MUSHclient.

Nice... I couldn't find the documentation on it, but then looking for that sort of thing through google is a nightmare. lol

In the mean time zugg apparently has one at:

http://www.zuggsoft.com/zchat/zchatinfo.htm

which claims to be compatible. Assuming that zMud's plugins employ some sort of COM interface it may even be possible to get mushclient to talk to it directly through scripting, but it will run as a stand alone program as well.

I have it somewhere on my hard disk, but that isn't saying much. I have tens of thousands of files there. :) Not remembering its name doesn't help.

Try the MudMaster site.
