Mushclient Project Update – bigmap Lasher, July 1, 2008July 1, 2008 Small post, but this is worth sharing. Nick Gammon has written a ‘bigmap’ plugin to go with the default Mushclient install for Aardwolf. Others have done similar in other clients, but keep in mind this will be available in a single download and install to completely new players to the MUD. Combined with the stat window and small map window – this puts it light years ahead of the standard interface for new players whether that is the java client, fmud, telnet or even a mainstream mud client that hasn’t been configured or had plugins added yet. The video itself is rough, but gets across the idea. The link below is a short movie file showing movement between a few areas and Mesolar with the bigmap plugin on. Notice that it shows the continent name at the top, coordinates at the bottom and minimizes itself when you leave a continent. If you cross the border between one continent and another, the screen is updated with the correct continent bigmap. Aardwolf Bigmap Movie Development continues on additional plugins.

June 25, 2008June 25, 2008 The choice of MUD client for this project was always going to be a question and, sure enough, a few people have asked “Why Mushclient?” vs other clients. Usually, it is a cmud/zmud user asking the question so I’ll focus on that, but it really applies to any other client…. Read More
