Disabling MXP/Pueblo ?

Is there a way to disable MXP/Pueblo so that there are no hyperlinks? I also don't want to have to look at html code.

Do you mean enable MUSHclient to process them, or disable MXP so the MUD doesn't send it?

In the MXP configuration tab you can disable MXP/Pueblo, but you shouldn't be seeing HTML code in any case. It sounds like the MUD is sending MXP but you aren't recognising it. Maybe you need to set MXP to "always" if it is sending MXP stuff.

Disable it so the mu* doesn't send it.

Seems to me that what you are asking is if you can disable a single 'type of tag'. The specification for MXP does not allow that any more than HTML allows you do disable tables because you don't like them.

The best you could do is to write a script that captures each line (with 'output' disabled), processes the tags you do want and uses world.colournote and world.colourtell, etc. to reoutput it the way you want, without the hyperlinks. This however would be really complicated to impliment. Disabling such individual tag types and elements is and should be handled by the muds, not the client. If they don't provide a way to do so, then you are probably out of luck.

One thing you could try is see if you can change the settings 'on the mud' for your terminal type and disable all MXP/Pueblo there, but then you also lose any advanced color settings and the like by doing that. I have found however that many so called MXP muds insist on using underline, bold and hyperlinks to make the world look ugly, but for some idiot reason insist on using standard ansi for the colors, so you may not be losing much if you disable it completely. ;)

When you say you want to disable MXP and 'don't want to look at HTML code' it sounds like you want to stop the MUD sending MXP.

Try looking at the MUD help files (there should be a command like 'MXP OFF').

Also in MUSHclient configuration, MXP/Pueblo tab, you can turn off MXP 'negotiation' so that it rejects attempts by the MUD to turn on MXP.
