It's a beautiful client Nick and far stabler and lighter than that Zmud. I've been recommending it to our players for the past few months who are primarily GMud users. I remember releases 1.x and 2.x. It's nice that the default color config comes up quite similar to Gmud rather than those frightening pastels. ;-)

Sorry I didn't have time to read the current bug list or
feature list but I do have a few suggestions despite them probably being made before.

It'd be great to have Socks proxy support or any proxy for that matter. A big help for those of us mudding off lan setups.

I noticed that if you setup the auto-login pueblo detection doesn't work as the name/password is sent before the pueblo response string. Well that was in 3.17, I haven't tried the newest release. It is also entirely possible that I don't understand the pueblo spec properly and implemented it in my mud server wrong. ;-)

MCP support would be marvelous for us coders.

Images support for pueblo would be nice. That is I think it might be.

I was going to say that saving world files to My Documents by default was irritating as hell, but it looks like you grokked that one.

Thanks and keep up the good work

"My Documents". It's better than the old way, but still half-assed. If Microsoft were smart, they would have defaulted to a user-specific directory under a central "user" directory. They have that in the server operating systems, but they should have done that from the start.

Anyone who's used computers for an extended time should realize that it's highly beneficial to store all your user-specific files in a central place, seperated from the executable code. It makes backing up those files a piece of cake. When it comes time to whiping your system and re-installing everything (something I do at least once a year), you don't want to hunt through every program directory looking for your user files.

Indeed, I tried out Zmud for a very short time. As I do with all fresh software, I attempted to configure it to store my user files in my user tree. It barfed all over the place and crashed... and was just ugly as hell. Thank god, for I turned to MUSHclient next, and am happy I did.

Cudos to Nick for allowing user files to be stored where the user wants, without much fuss. All programers should do the same. I think it's beneficial to do so by default, even.

Constantly proving I don't know what I am doing...
Magnum.

What is your MUD site? I'll try it myself. Perhaps the Pueblo string is a bit different. I haven't changed that recently.

We're at lunar.betterbox.bet:2500

If you don't use auto-connect pueblo mode is entered.
If you set it up for Diku-style autologin pueblo mode isn't entered.

Now I am expecting the Pueblo response as the first response back from the client after sending the login banner which has the pueblo string at the top. The first response seems to be the username after sending the login banner.

Oh yeah, you should see an image placeholder if you enter pueblo successfully as well as our autoexits commands show clickable directions.

It does occur to me that I might be wrong here about the
spec and should support the request to go to pueblo at any
time.

The auto-login sends the name/password immediately after connecting. I'm not sure how it could wait - how long would it wait for? It can't wait for the Pueblo string, because it doesn't know it will get it.

I would change the server to accept the Pueblo response at any time (or at least, within the first 100 responses or so).

MUSHclient version 3.36 now supports proxy servers. See: MUSHclient version 3.36 announcement.
