| Hello, I'm using coffeemud to build a mud and I am wanting to have a mushclient package available on the muds website that includes a pre-made world and a pre-made map basically like aardwolf. I am wondering where I would start with this. | Top |

| Does CoffeeMud support GMCP? Or at least allow you to add such support? That would be a starting point for a mapper "like Aardwolf".
Basically you need to be able to do Telnet subnegotiation to send down things like room names and numbers to the client.
It is possible to make the mapper work without it, but it can be tedious, mainly because you need to be able to distinguish one room from another. |

| CoffeeMud now supports GMCP according to CMUD and Aardwolf specs.
I am a pretty big newb to all of this, so if there's any step by step instructions I could look at, it would help me a lot. | Top |

| I don't have any step-by-step instructions for CoffeeMud. I'm not sure how much research you have done, but you need to dig up the GMCP specs and find out about the telnet negotiation part, and also what messages are needed to be imbedded inside that negotiation.
I'm no Java expert so I can't really offer to help. |

| I appreciate your answer, you gave me a clear place to start and for that, I thank you. If I ever get it figured out I'll be sure to post it in the plugins section. | Top |

| Here's what GMCP DEBUG showed me regarding room.info
"message"="room.info"
"data":
"terrain"="city"
"num"=31092412
"name"="Cadigan Street"
"zone"="Little China"
"id"="Little China#17"
"exits":
"W"=31092498
"S"=31092413
"N"=-276091683
"details"=""
"coord":
"id"=0
"x"=-1
"cont"=0
"y"=-1
When I get some time I'll study your two links more closely...I looked over the aard_GMCP_mapper trying to find the basic parts for a simple, functional map...bits of it are understandable but I honestly don't have much of a clue where I'm supposed to start with making the plugin...I do feel confident I will get somewhere now thanks to this DEBUG feature and your links, thanks again! | Top |

| I already have an ATCP mapper (effectively ATCP amd GMCP are much the same), so writing the plugin / mapper shouldn't be your big worry.
The thing that mapper needs to know is your current room (so it knows where you are) and preferably a bit of detail like the room name and where the exits go. The room info you quoted above has that. The "num" is the current room, the "name" is its name, and the "W", "S" and "N" are the exits, and where they lead. |

| The ATCP mapper comes with the MUSHclient installation. |

| I've been looking through the ATCP_Mapper and ATCP_NJG...I'm not sure where to change it so that it recognizes the info sent from the mud. I installed them and tried reconnecting. I tried 'mapper trains' and it says 'I don't know where you are right now - try: LOOK', ofcourse typing look doesn't change anything. There's also no mapper window popping up. | Top |

| If nothing is happening it is hard to know where to start. Are you testing on your MUD or one of the IRE ones?
You can always modify the ATCP_NJG plugin to show debugging information, eg.
function OnPluginTelnetSubnegotiation (type, option)
print ("Telnet subnegotiation:", type) -- debugging
if type ~= ATCP then
return
end -- not Achaea subnegotiation
print ("ATCP:", option) -- debugging
local command, args = string.match (option, "^([%a.]+)%s+(.*)$")
if not command then
return
end -- don't seem to have a command
local f = handlers [command]
if f then
f (args) -- call handler
else
BroadcastPlugin (0, option) -- other, just send whole message
end -- handler
end -- function OnPluginTelnetSubnegotiation
Add lines in bold and see if anything shows up.
(Re-install the plugin afterwards to make it re-read the code). |
