Just a question. Just switched from SimpleMU* to Mush Client tonight, and have been trying to figure something out. In SimpleMU, they have an option that allows multiple connection to the same site definition, so that if you had three characters you wanted to login on the same game, you could hit connect, and the world three times and each would open a new window where you could login. Now i've been trying to find this option in MUSH Client, since the features list does state that it allows you to do this, but I've not been able to figure out how, outside of creating a different world file for each character. Any help on this would be much appreciated!

I think the feature list says "multiple worlds can be open" (which they can) but doesn't promise you can literally re-open the same world again from the same world file.

What you _can_ do is open another window for the same character, so for example, you can scroll back and read a lengthy message in one window, while keeping an eye on gameplay in another. But this is for the same connection.

The problem is that if you could have multiple connections open and then you changed one of them (eg. added a trigger) then the world files would get out of sync, and as they are the same file that would cause problems.

What you can do is, just have three different files (set one up the way you want, and then save it twice under slightly different names).

If this is a hassle because you keep adding triggers, changing colours etc. then you can use the "defaults" feature, which lets worlds share default triggers, colours, aliases, etc.

Thank you kindly for the quick response, and the answer! Here I was thinking I was just blind or something and completely missed the command!

Might be an option to think about for a future release of the client though, as I personally, do not use aliases and triggers and specialized colours for worlds at all, and a single world file would be ideal for me, rather than multiples for each world that are exactly the same, as they'd be created just to allow you seperate, simultaneous connections. Might be the case for others users as well. But -anyways- thanks again!
