| Well, installed MXP into my codebase after someone told me it could be used to do things like display room descs in a seperate frame/pop-up window. My problem is, I've read through the entire text at http://www.zuggsoft.com/zmud/mxp.htm , as well as the one here, and I still have no idea how to go about doing this, other than having a basic idea of *what* to do.
Help is greatly appreciated :) |

| My understanding is that frames are a fairly experimental feature and pretty much only supported by zMud. So I'm not sure how much gain you'll actually get by implementing frames and depending on clients supporting them.
Incidentally it's unfortunate that the MXP spec isn't strictly followed by zMud -- doubly unfortunate considering that the same person authored both!
Ah well. :-) |

| I think the only client that uses Frames is zMud, so you would be restricting players to that client. This therefore excludes all Unix and Mac players for a start, plus the Windows ones that don't use zMud.
You could implement some sort of "frames" idea in standard MXP by writing a plugin in MUSHclient that detects certain things (eg. <roomdesc> ... </roomdesc> ) - which you can inside a plugin - and sends the description to a separate notepad window. |
