MUSHclient

Fast and compact

Written in C++ for speed and compact size! Fastest MUD client available for Windows

Easy to use

MUSHclient uses the "standard" Windows look-and-feel. Connecting to a MUD is really simple. Just select "Quick Connect" on the Connection menu, fill in the MUD's IP address and port number, and click OK!

Extensible

Add plugins to your world to extend MUSHclient's functionality! Over a dozen plugins are supplied with MUSHclient, plus you can download more from the plugins web page, and from other plugin authors.

Plugins are related groups of triggers, timers, aliases, scripts and variables. They are easily installed and removed.

Enhance your MUD experience with:

• Aliases (command shorthands)
• Triggers (auto-reponse to keywords)
• Timers (send commands at intervals)
• Keypad-navigation (use numeric keypad to go North, South, etc.)
• Tab-completion (press to have a word completed from recent MUD output)
• Speed-walking (quickly move by typing speed walks, like 4n 5w)
• Auto-say. Having a long conversation? Let MUSHclient put "say" in front of everything you type.

XML file format

MUSHclient files (world files, plugins, triggers, aliases, timers, variables) are saved in industry-standard XML format.

You can copy and paste triggers, aliases, etc. from one world to another.

Actively supported

The MUSHclient forum is a place for getting help, tips, asking questions, and generally getting support for MUSHclient.

Scripting

You can use scripting to enhance the way that triggers, timers, aliases react to events, and also do additional things as required, like automatically reconnect, send "socials" randomly, and so on.

You can script in any of the following languages:

• JScript
• Lua
• PerlScript
• PhpScript
• Python
• VBscript

There are over 300 script functions and properties that can be called by scripting routines.

Recent versions support in-line scripting, so that triggers, aliases and timers can "make decisions" inline without having to use a separate script file.

There is a built-in editor to allow you to write scripts from within the program, which offers quick access to the help file entries for all script functions.

MXP and MCCP support

MUSHclient supports MUD Client Compression Protocol, versions 1 and 2 (MCCP), and Mud eXtension Protocol (MXP)

Proxy server support

MUSHclient supports connecting via Socks 4 and 5 proxy servers.

Chat system

MUSHclient has a built-in chat system that is compatible with both MudMaster and zChat protocols. You can use it to both make and receive chat calls to other compatible clients (including MUSHclient of course!). This includes the capability to send files, snoop their output, send commands, and more. The chat system is fully scriptable.

High-capacity

You can have dozens of worlds open at once. Each one can have up to 500,000 lines of recent output saved in memory. Each one can remember the last 5,000 commands you typed. There is a search facility for quickly finding individual items.

Multiple worlds support

You can even enter a single command and have it sent simultaneously to all, or selected, worlds.
