Mud Master is a 32bit mud client designed to run under Windows' console mode. The console mode is text based -- if you are looking for a graphical client with menus and a mouse-driven interface, MM isn't for you. When it comes to scrolling text, the console mode generally does it faster than the windows GUI. (Yes, I know there are exceptions.) Anybody familiar with Tintin should have no trouble getting used to Mud Master. I used Tintin for a while before writing Mud Master and have modeled the syntax after Tintin's. With some minor adjustments, particularly to aliases, you should be able to load Tintin command files. Most importantly, Mud Master is FREE. The client is not crippled in any way, nor does it nag you to register. If you find the program useful you are welcome to use it all you like. Mud Master has been a hobby of mine for the last few years. I work on it when I find the time or get the urge. Sometimes this means it won't change for a lengthy period of time and sometimes there might be several updates in a week. |
