Need some help.

Hi Everyone,

I'm new to this mud and trying to get started. I run on a Linux box and I have gMud installed. The issue i'm having is everytime I try to connect the screen flashes up for a moment then disconnects me. Am I missing something? I tried another mud and it works fine.

Cheers,

Mord

Mxp issues?

I just built gmud from this source and connected to AR
http://sourceforge.net/p/qtgmud/code/HEAD/tree/

I get no output whatsoever. I'm thinking it's more likely a gmud issue than an AR issue. Gmud is really, really bad and you should probably use a different client. I personally use tintin++

Gmud has worked for me in the past, not sure why it wouldn't all of a sudden unless there was a change to AR recently that makes it difficult for that hunk of shit program.

I also do not use GMUD anymore, btw. I used Zmud or Cmud, depending on what computer I am using.

I use CMud and ZMud too, no issues.

PS Welcome Mord!

I tried gmud on windows and connected to the game fine with it, another staff member has installed gmud on linux and seen different behavior (which is a bad sign for linux gmud).


Unless you feel particularly attached to gmud at this point I'd say just chuck it and get tintin++ which is in apt. This behavior isnt observed in tintin. Sorry for your inconvenience with gmud.

sudo aot-get install tintin++ IIRC

gmud doesn't use mxp so that isnt the issue

Let me know how it goes. Maybe we can contact the gmud writer about it

Alternatively you could probably just "telnet abandonedrealms.com" if you want the really bare bones experience, but tintin is pretty legit for linux.

[Faelon]

To be honest, with the in game alias system Telnet isn't as bad as it used to be. Especially if you don't use triggers/scripts to any large degree. Still, as previously mentioned, it is a very bare bones way to go about things.

[Vevier]

Using the client that's built into the website is a much better option than telnet.
