Aardwolf Mushclient – r397 Lasher, April 3, 2011April 3, 2011 A new release of the Aardwolf Mushclient package has been uploaded to the website. Major changes in this release are: Xterm 256 color support. Players can now reliably replace movement between connected rooms (like opening doors) with custom exits in the gmcp mapper. Cleaned up gmcp mapper help. Added some new commands to the gmcp mapper. Mapper purgezone shouldn’t require quitting and restarting mushclient anymore. Mapper pathfinding status message now indicates the progress of the search better. Added the ability to not capture mob speech to the channel capture window. Added tick marks at good/neutral/evil alignment boundaries in the health bars plugin. You can now select arbitrary text inside the channel capture window and then copy with the right-click menu, instead of clicking on whole individual messages. Purging all custom exits and portal exits from the gmcp mapper now requires confirmation. Fixed a bug in channel capture that missed lines with hidden garbage or fake color codes. Fixed a bug in the gmcp mapper preventing finding rooms with oddly colored names. Fixed a bug in the gmcp mapper that blocked sending two identical custom exit commands in a row. Fixed an error on saving rooms when using the gmcp mapper without a pre-initialized database. Added manual mapper database backup command with zip compressed rotating backup storage. Added rolling automatic backups of the gmcp mapper database files. If left on and running forever, the rollover schedule approximately follows the pattern: today, yesterday, last week, last month, 3 months ago. Various other bug fixes and changes. The entire list of changes is available on the Aardwolf Mushclient Code Page. MUD News

GMCP in Aardwolf MUD July 27, 2010 In a comment on the previous post regarding GMCP and MSDP in muds, I stated that “I do fully reserve the right to turn around in 2 weeks time and declare that I was completely wrong”. Well, this isn’t quite that, but close. After experimenting more with GMCP and MSDP,… Read More
