How can I make a "package" like Aardwolf's client that will load my plugins and settings on another computer as it was on mine? When I copy my MUSHclient folder onto another computer, it doesn't work, which makes me think that MUSHclient saves settings somewhere else on the computer.

Can you be more specific about the envisioned scenario?

Could you put it online somewhere? I'd like to see it.

This is wrong, though.

I am going to guess at what your problem is. MUSHclient does not preserve relative file paths. When absolute paths change, it does not know where to look. When making the package, I force the world file to contain relative paths.
