| Following on from recent comments that some people would ditch Windows "except for running MUSHclient", I have had more success today in running MUSHclient under Wine (in Linux). The screenshot below shows that it seems to run OK *without* the /wine option, that is, in full operational mode. Even VBscript works, as you can see from the example ColourNote on the screen, and the fact that I installed the Chat plugin and got it to work.
The screenshot shows MUSHclient running, with its normal toolbars, a notepad window in the background, the command history, an example script command (world.colournote) which worked, and a chat session. |

| Good question.. The version is rather important.
Of course an even better one would be how the heck you get Linux to talk to a damn WinModem. Sadly, this is the one issue still preventing me from really trying to see how well it actually works. Sigh... | Top |

| The version is the latest one from the winehq.org (as at a couple of days ago). The file I downloaded was:
wine-20040505-1fc1winehq.i386.rpm
I initially had problems, however version 3.50 seems to run OK. The MUSHclient installer doesn't seem to work, nor does the VBscript installer, however by copying an installed directory (of MUSHclient) and the vbscript.dll into my MUSHclient directory on Linux, it works OK.
The version of Linux was Red Hat Linux 9, I think. |

| Here are some more interesting screenshots. Earlier versions of MUSHclient had some rather bizarre misalignments of the configuration screens under Wine. I have tracked down this problem and fixed it. This is what they look like under version 3.50 ...
Also, strangely enough, the spellchecker works. It seems Wine supports Windows DLLs, which is all that the spell checker is. Here is an example ...

You don't. You need a LinModem <grin>.
Modem's are cheap aren't they these days? Maybe time for an upgrade. Or, try searching for a solution. Maybe start here:

| Yeah. I know. Apparently a few do have drivers of some sort. The problem is that the firmware is loaded from the windows driver, not built in, which is why it doesn't even appear as a device for Linux. The major problem is that almost all modems are WinModem types. :( This includes apparently the new US Robotics one I got for the other computer a while ago to replace the one that died in it. Unfortunately if I had the cash, there are dozens of slightly higher priority things to buy/upgrade, before worrying about trying to get Mushclient to run in Linux. This includes a bigger HD, so I even have some place to install it. lol | Top |

| Because Wine is a work-in-progress, you may find that under Wine MUSHclient is not as reliable as under Windows. Yesterday, for example, it just exited when I was playing with the colour picker. However I could not reproduce it.
Still, once something works it should continue to work.
If you are using Wine I would recommend saving your changes (eg. after adding triggers) fairly often in case it crashes. |

| Ok I have fought with this for a while now... it seems to come up and run just fine but whenever I click on the # it is asking for it just shuts down with this error....
err:seh:setup_exception stack overflow 0 bytes in thread 0009 eip 4039aa8b esp 40641000 stack 0x40640000-0x40740000
I know that I dont have the client registered or anything as of yet.... bad me I know.... but I would like to get it running under redhat before I pay for it since with my MS box I use Zmud instead and I am using this program under advise of a friend on another mud. | Top |

| You should be able to test it before you register. :)
There *does* seem to be a strange problem with Wine, in that if you start it up initially you get the "stack overflow" you describe. I can't quite see why, however I have a fix for you.
You need to edit your "registry" and add the following lines.
You will probably have a .wine directory under your home directory, and in there a file user.reg.
- Edit the file ~/.wine/user.reg
One way would be to type this:
vi ~/.wine/user.reg
- Go to the end of the file.
In vi you can type "G" to do that.
- Paste the lines below.
In vi type "o" (lower-case "oh") to add a new line at the end, and then paste the lines below, and then press the <esc> key to exit Insert mode.
- Save your changes.
In vi type "ZZ" to do that.
Now when you start MUSHclient it should not crash.

You might want to back up your user.reg file before making any changes. eg.
cp ~/.wine/user.reg ~/.wine/user.reg.bak

| Alternatively, and a bit more simply, save between the lines here into a file called "mushclient.reg" ...
REGEDIT4

Note the difference between this and the text above, this has single backslashes, and the word "REGEDIT4" at the start.
Then, in Linux, type this:
regedit mushclient.reg
That should import those registry keys into your Wine registry. |

| I've installed MUSHclient 3.50 and I did have some problems which the registry info you gave helped. There's one problem now though. I find that every command I send to a MUD returns the same message to me that I get when I connect to the MUD--that I've connected and I'm not using a registered copy of MUSHclient. The command sends just fine to the MUD, but four lines of that stuff can be a bit much. And sometimes it even sends it twice to me. Is there some registry setting to get around this? | Top |
