[Mudaid-devel] Trigger support

[James D. <ro...@ph...>]

I think I've figured out a way to do the triggers.. I'll go ahead and
write up a base functionality and diff it off 0.1a. Probably take a day or
two if I have the time I think I will.

[Mudaid-devel] Weird Characters

[Neil T. M. <moc...@se...>]

Currently, MUDAid displays some weird characters at password prompts, and
on some muds on the regular character prompt.  I'm not sure exactly why
this is happening...I assume these are ANSI characters and I suppose the
ZvtTerm widget isn't handling them correctly.  Also, on some MUDs with
ASCII art in them, the art is not displayed correctly.  This is, I guess,
a problem with the handling of ANSI, but I'm not quite sure how to fix
them.  This is a priority for usability, and I am devoting my efforts to
fixing this.  

Suggestions are welcome,

[Mudaid-devel] IRC Channel

[Neil T. M. <moc...@se...>]

I'll be hanging out in #MUDAid on irc.openprojects.net.  I may not be
there most of the time but its kinda neat to have an IRC Channel to
exchange ideas on.

[Mudaid-devel] Command Stacking Diff - Merry Xmas

[James D. <ro...@ph...>]

Okay, so it took me more time to learn to use diff than it did to write
the command stacking code.. here's something useful for ya =)

Being that I'm starting from near scratch with GTK, I'll go ahead with the
easy part and get a command stacking diff off the base 0.1a source out
within 2 weeks.

[Mudaid-devel] MUDAid

[Neil T. M. <moc...@se...>]

I'm just going to make an outline of what probably needs to be done.  I'm
not that great of a programmer so I'm not sure how to do some of the
things that need to be done, but I'm certainly willing to find out.  There
are lots of halfway finished graphical mud clients out there with crappy
interfaces, and I'd just like to make one that is nice that competes with
zmud for windows.

Anyway, I'd like to do a well thought out rewrite.  I think for a good
stable release we should implement, in order:

1.  The basic interface that correctly handles all ANSI characters sent
from the mud.

2.  Command Stacking

3.  Alias Support

4.  Action (Trigger) Support

I think that is a good start for now...adding features later will be
relatively easy.

Now I just need some opinions and suggestions about what is suggested, and
then we can start planning the actual coding of the client.  

PS
I wouldn't mind renaming this, unless someone actually likes it :P

Until next time,
