Just not getting it to work was created by arholly
Ok, I followed the instructions in the tutorial (script renamed PFMUD-init.js) and replaced your ports and such with mine. However, it is not appear to be doing anything since the background is the same no matter what game I login to. Am I doing something horribly wrong or just being an idiot in some way?

Thanks,
Arholly

It looks like a typo in the hostname in the metakey field of the script: it was "themudthost.net:9080". I changed it to themudhost.net:9080. If that's correct, your private script should now load when you hit www.mudportal.com/play?host=themudhost.net&port=9080 .

Did you figure out how to view your browser console log?

Wow, that made me feel like a moron. :)

Yes, I've got firebug, so I knew how to get to the console, but it wasn't giving an error, so I was confused.

The error in this case is that you're not seeing the script load message described in the step-by-step.

In your Firebug > Net > Javascript tag, you will see a URL like this one:
www.mudportal.com/index.php?option=com_p...=themudhost.net:9080

If you view the contents of that URL, you will see what customizations are being loaded. If the script / code you expect is not in there, then something in the link-up has failed.
