Clients! Clients everywhere!

For client discussion. (Mud clients, not "clients". As in being part of the thief guild. And having clients. Such as Yanna.)

ZMUD and CMUD are, sadly, the only clients I like. I've tried about a dozen or so others and none of them are even remotely usable compared...

I personally use mushclient (except that circumstances have forced me to use telnet as of late). I think I am somewhat of an enigma, though - I do not actually use any of musclient's features. The IG alias system is enough to do everything I need to.

I played another mud before where the norm was triggers and aliases for everything. It was a sickening experience.

I use ALClient, don't know much about others, but this does all I need it to do.

I've been using Portal for a long time now and it has everything I need.

Huge giant fan of tintin++. It's just a command line prompt that remembers aliases and triggers.

In practice, I use it like a telnet that isn't stupid and works with backspace/up key. But if I need to write an alias, I can just type, say "#alias wash {unpack fur;put fur in vat;scrape fur}" and it's done. I can then "#write tanning" and save the aliases I've made.

(Really, for geas, I only have about 4 multi-line aliases set, mostly so that doing alchemy stuff doesn't break my fingers right off. It can be a bit wordy.)

Have been using tf since I first started mudding in '91. I use it on Windows, Linux and OS X, depending on where I mud from. ;)

Tintin++ is amazing! With a bit of coding know how, you can get some pretty advanced stuff going. I had numkey walking that took into account if I was climbing trees, macro keys that would set them self to the most appropriate function (so for example it'd change between a "climb down tree" or "flickup" depending on if I was climbing trees or not), toggles for wielding and unwielding weapons and so on. Gags are very useful for blotting out repetitive text, highlights are good for adding a bit of colour (I had all the health levels going from green, through yellow, orange then red, handy for at a glance statuses).

It has quite a good mapper too. I get terribly lost in my own head :D

In just a few days, with luck, I'll be buying CMUD permanently. So, until then, I'm gonna be gone still.

A rather nice new client is also Mudlet. http://www.mudlet.org. It is free and open source and heavily customizable via LUA. The mapper it has could be better, but can be programmed quite freely.

Tried all of the clients recommended here, mudlet included, and none of them feel comfortable enough to play. Sorry guys.
