MUSHclient Worlds

General

• Multiple worlds can be open at once
• Provides MDI (Multiple Document Interface), with each world appearing in a separate window
• You can automatically connect your character to a world (name and password)
• After connecting, one or more extra commands can be automatically sent (e.g. WHO)
• You can have multiple windows open per world
• All configuration options (triggers, aliases, etc.) are saved on a per-world basis, to allow for configuring for different types of MUDs
• Each world has a free-format "notes" area for making note of anything you like that you may want to remember for next time you play on that world
• Context-sensitive help is always available to explain how to use configuration screens, and other features
• Details for an entire world, or just one of triggers / macros / aliases / colours / strings can be saved for re-use later
• Toolbars are resizable. The "game" buttons are on a separate toolbar. The program remembers the toolbar positions and restores them next time.

  

Connections

• Connections are "asynchronous". This means that MUSHclient doesn't hang while awaiting connection to a world. You can connect to multiple worlds, and then wait for each connection to complete, or time-out, as the case may be.
• You can specify one or more worlds to be automatically connected to as MUSHclient starts executing.
• You can disconnect a session without closing the world.
• You can abort an attempt to connect to a world, without waiting for it to time-out.
• You can reconnect a session without having to close and re-open the world.
• You can open a world without necessarily connecting.
• When creating a new world, you can use an existing world's settings as defaults (colours, triggers, aliases and so on).
• The position on the screen of each world window is remembered and restored next time you use the program (including the size of the command area).
• The status line shows the duration that you have been connected to the current world.
• You can optionally close a world without being asked to confirm the close.
• The program correctly handles Telnet negotiation sequences, thus allowing you to connect to a host that requires the Telnet protocol.

Activity toolbar

• Shows activity on windows by showing window number in red. Also current window has the button depressed.
• This toolbar shows activity on the first 10 open worlds (you can have more than 10 worlds open, but only the first 10 show on the toolbar).
• Any world with new activity has its number in red (see example below). In the example, worlds 2 has new activity.
• The current world shows as a "pushed" button (see example below). In the example, world 3 is the active world.

  

• The toolbar can be "docked" (ie. tied to the top, bottom, left or right-hand sides of the screen), or "floating" (ie. anywhere on the screen you like). It can be resized to be vertical, horizontal or a square shape (see example below).

  

• You can switch to any world by pressing Ctrl+n where "n" is the number (eg. Ctrl+2 switches to world 2). You can also click on any button to go to that world.
