Mudlet - The MUD Client

Beta-15 is available for download now.

We are getting much closer to our first stable release now.

downloads: here

Beta-10pre8 has now color triggers, milliseconds timestamps, improved easy user buttons and menus and a number of other new features.

We are glad to tell you that we have finally found somebody who was able to build a Mac OSX installer for Mudlet beta-10pre8. This installer package works with Mac OSX 10.5.x on Intel processor systems. 10.4.x does not work with this installer. However, users of older OSX version can still compile Mudlet from source code.

windows version can be downloaded from here.

GNU/Linux version can be downloaded here.

There is a whole bunch of new features.

1. a new user definable border around the main display. All 4 sides have user defined values. This is what is colored pink on the pictcure. The reason for the border is to give the user free choice to customize the gui e.g. but buttons, mini displays, pictures, clickable images, micro displays etc.

2. new gui elements:
a) clickable labels:

• they can be given a call-back function to handle click events in Lua scripts
• they can hold html formated text
• they are fully scriptable
• they can be positioned anywhere on the screen including the main display e.g. buttons on the main display, or micro variable displays anywhere
• the user can specify the level of transparency
• they can be moved, resized, recolored, hidden, shown, have their text/picture changed via user scripts
• they can have background colors e.g. you can use labels to easily make stats gauges by defining a background color and resizing them according to to current stats

b) fast mini conole text displays (identical to the main display including a split screen:

• freely positionable
• moveable
• resizeable
• colorizable
• custom color printing
• bold/underline/italics format
• font and font size can be set for each of them
• they have no more border so you can tightly fit them into a custom gui without any margins including overlap
• can be resized, hidden, shown or moved by scripts

c) (not yet implemented in the currently available beta-10pre2 for windows but will be in upcoming beta-10):
Buttons are easier now and are integrated more seamlessly into the rest of the gui. There is 2 sorts of buttons now:

• easy gui css stylable buttons that can be put in toolbars on all 4 sides surrounding the border.
• scriptable, fully customizable buttons or clickable images that can be positions anywhere on the screen

d) new features of the scripting api:

• create milli seconds stopwatches to measure time
• get network lag
• temp buffers

Tichi has contributed several Lua functions to the Lua api like myEnnemyTable = myEnemyList:split( “,” ), a table size function

e) icon sizes are customizable now (not fully implemented yet)

f) default trigger type can be chosen (not fully implemented yet)

g) command line tab completion has been fixed

h) telnet layer has been slightly modified to handle broken servers better

i) profile history:

Users can chose which version of their stored profiles they want to load

j) trigger filters:

the trigger only lets it’s match or capture groups (if there are any) pass on to its child triggers. This helps to break down complicated regex triggers into simple trigger chain. See an example of how to use this in the package forum (prompt detection demo package)

k) various bug fixes

An updated windows installer is available for download here.

This release has a ton of major usability improvements like autosaving, a status notification area to show Lua errors etc., error icons on items that need user attention as well as a number of other features and bugfixes.

The changes are quite drastic so there may be some bugs. If you happen to find something, please report it in our forum or our bugtracker.
