Mud client?

[Lutagar]

What mud clients to you guys use?

Is there one inparticular that's easy to alias spells for?

[Sephiroto]

I've used MUSHclient since 1999.  You can do a lot with triggers, perhaps even alias spells.  I always used Arm's in-game aliases for spells.  As limited as they are, they can help in a pinch.

[Fujikoma]

I use MUSHclient. It's free and it has a lot of alias and trigger options, not that I ever use them... Kinda like to work on my typing skill while playing.

[Patuk]

MUSHclient does support magick aliases well, in fact. I use it too, even if I don't play gemmed.

[Riev]

I'm one of those old men that refuses to use any of your newfangled colors and triggers and menu bars.

There is very little I CAN'T do with GMUD, and the only thing I WOULD want from it is a built in timer system, but I can build that myself. I don't need automappers, and fancy colors, and whatnot. A few triggers, aliases, and being able to JAM on F1 - Disengage in combat clans, and I can do the rest.

Mudlet for me.

[Gunnerblaster]

Used SimpleMUD for the longest of times.

Then switched over to Mudlet when I found out that SimpleMUD had a limit to aliases/color triggers/etc.

After some fine-tuning and tweaking, though, I've definintely come to rely on Mudlet.

I use Mushclient, but it's behaved weird since the last time I downloaded it so I've been checking into other possibles myself...

However Mushclient more or less works great for me. Just beware what you alias and what word you use to set them off. I killed one of my absolute favorite, and longest lived characters, by having a spell aliased and accidentally typing the alias instead of the command (by the same name).

The intention was to mount my beetle. Instead I started casting a spell. In the stables. In Red Storm. I didn't even have time to process what happened before *BEEP*. Yeah.

The moral of the story... Just be careful with your aliases. Also, I use Mushclient.

I use RoAClient

It has an alias feature, but also something called "Nicknames" which is what I use for spells

[hatchets]

I use AL Client. It can be downloaded for free from www.ashavar.com It was a mud game at some point, that I dabbled with a bit but loved their client. The client is pretty simple and allows you to ultimately customize most things about it as you learn to work with it. I have used it since... sometimes in the 90' it feels like forever now.

[Dakota]

I use Atlantis.

[X-D]

Mushclient.

I freely admit I started using it because I, at least used to PVP alot and it is faster then any of the other clients.

But I stay with it because it is free, very easy to use and somebody already made a nifty infobar, which has its own thread.

[Ben Arie]

I use Atlantis, it's pretty decent, but I haven't looked into any of the fancier features, so I couldn't tell you how good it is for those.

Alots exist in-game?! I would have liked to find out IC!  http://goo.gl/DliZr

I am just kidding.

[Maso]

Hyperbole and a half is my favourite blog.

Also Mudlet. Because I like the logo. I haven't figured out how to do anything with it. I can't even make my prompt into colors. Can someone come over and set this shit up for me please?

[Lutagar]

Because I have the dumb -- I can't figure out how to use MUSHclients aliases. Is there a guide for this somewhere?

[Barzalene]

I prefer cmud for two reasons:
1. Split screen when scrolling up
2. Live spell check

[Desertman]

I've used GMUD for years. Highly recommend it, but then again, I'm very accustom to it.

[DustMight]

Cmud.

Easy triggers, alliasing, spell-checking (huge important one for me - and why I use CMud over Mushclient - could never get the spell check figured out).

[Barsook]

Mudlet has spellcheck too.   But what...

[Barzalene]

Most have spellcheck, but I find that it's easier to have a spellcheck that points out the errors as you type.

[Barsook]

Mudlet has that.

[3kanks]

Dude!
Definitely worth considering then. Is it cheaper than c-mud? Are triggers easy to set up?

I'm an old fart who can't stand mud colors and fancy menu bars too. But I use MUSHclient. The only time I ever use triggers is if I'm playing a mage. But I always keep my spell spreadsheet open when I'm playing a mage, to see "at a glance" which spells I have, what their combos are, whether or not I need a component, which component I need, and what "power" I have the spell at. So for me, it's no big deal for me to type out the spell manually since it's right there to the side of my game screen.

Check it out and see.  I didn't really set any tiggers up, only like six keyboard shortcuts for walking commands.

CMUD. It was hugely popular with the first MUD I really played, although I'm not sure I'd recommend buying it now as it hasn't been updated in over two years now and the guy officially abandoned the project. It supports the infobar (although there's a huge problem with it that I can't get around) and has a nice mapper.

Looking forward to switching to Mudlet or TinTin++ at some point.
