Client Parsing?

see stuffs changed a lot here... cant seem to work out HOW to connect to my mud from here now though! Unless im being completely brain dead!!!

I can't either; I click on the game name and it does something, but when I click on the actual play button, nothing happens. It just sits there. How do you make the client start the connection?

glad its not only me then

It seems to work when I'm not logged in, but when logged in the big connect window doesn't show up. I'm currently using Firefox 23 on Ubuntu.

I have to leave for an extended period of time; sorry if I don't respond further for a few days.

Alter Aeon MUD

appears to be working now for Chrome also!!

I'm getting some strange results with colors on my game now. Here's a screenshot:



You can ignore the names (aside from a description of approximately what color they should be), since those are just my internal tags for them. The issue is that some show up, and some don't at all - they're just default text color.

Also, should MXP clickable links be working yet? Specifically something like this: #<send href="help combat">COMBAT#</send>

If you want something to test against, you can check the 'colors' and 'areas' commands.

Of course, it's possible that some of these issues are on my end. I have a somewhat complex client negotiation process on connection. I saw that you added a TTYPE response to identify the MUDPortal client. I haven't added any special code to handle that yet.

The xterm256 colors on 7th Plane look MUCH BETTER now. Thanks.

As for MXP clickable links: the 'areas' command. However, I think the issue is that MXP still isn't getting negotiated correctly. I'm going to run some tests on my end, and I'll get back to you about that.

Are you going to ever make background colors work? One of my test muds, which i originally added 256 color to, replacing all other versions of color refuses to show background colors. Also MXP links dont seem to work there.. (they used to) the muds not listed on this site, but the address is godwars.net port 2770...

Would also appear that the client is reporting its self as MUDPortal Client 1.0, when it should be MudPortal Client, and have 1.0 in the version field, you can see this when you type "FInger (yourname)" in the mud. Also MXPVersion is not being set, not sure if this is an actual requirement or not.

I like hades_kane, have a "colorlist" command which pretty much works exactly the same as his, theres some wierd stuff happening with the background colors, with random characters appearing in there....

Also i am seeing strange characters when the MUD is trying to detect client, this MAY be due to the way i have my client detection working...

Am pretty certain clickable MXP linkes USED to work, but they werent actually ending properly.. so it was making everything an MXP link after being set!

The Client is coming along nicely, theres just a few niggles left, but seeing as its only been 2 weeks since its been active, good work! Can't wait to see what else you are going to be doing with it

Yeah, MXP isn't getting negotiated for 7th Plane. I'm still not sure why. It's possible the issue is partly on my end, but it works fine with all the major desktop clients that support MXP.

Also, when I connect with the MP client now, I get an extraneous 'U' above the client detection line. I'm not sure where that's coming from.

Lookin good, just a few background colors not working 100%, and also Background 256 colors not working at all!! Coming along really nicely tho, MUCH MUCH MUCH better than the FMUD client that people were using to connect to MUDs via websites!

i think its the white colour code being regarded as a dark colour thats causing it to not work properly, as with ansi cant use dark colours with background ansi!!

Test MXP negotiation for 7th Plane now?

Still no. The extraneous 'U' character is gone, though.
