Title: MUSHclient plugin to prevent random disconnect (and one other question)
Post by: Gilgamesh on July 19, 2016, 12:24:13 PM
I just started playing up again after a while. Just waiting to store my old character and add in my new one. I can't wait!

Anyways, my search-fu is weak, and I need some help. Is there a MUSHclient plugin to prevent the game from occasionally disconnecting you if you idle for too long? I have this problem with most MUDs I play.  I have a similar client for Sindrome but the codes are much more different.

And the other question is that, is there a temporary description option, and what is it? I remember something like this and I can't remember what it's called. I'll have to learn the code and syntax all over again for the most part. This temporary description option is often used for things like makeup and hairstyles. And what is the syntax to use it?

Don't know about MUSHclient, but the temporary description command you're looking for is tdesc and is described under "help tdesc" :) Welcome back.

Thanks! It's good to be back! I'm so excited. I can't wait until someone in the Gaj stabs me. Such nostaglia!  :P

Yes, welcome. I can't say I've had that problem, once I have entered the game. Most of my idling is at the bar though, where soldiers pass through.

This probably isn't the solution you're looking for but I have a similar problem with mushclient, I fixed this by setting a timer to enter something into the output every so often. Simple fix for the short term.
