Re: vip mud, first experience and soundpacks
@razvitasca, in terms of those fields you get when you hit the "add" button in the char list, you have two options. You can turn on sapi if you want the names read though to be honest they're quite doable with nvda.
The first field is "username" (which it will read), this is for the name you want the profile to be under, for example you might type "fighter" if you had a profile for a fighter character (I mostly just use character name but I tend to only play one char per mud).
Then is the quick connect dropdown, this will have in all of the details of muds you've played previously.
Myself I don't tend to create a char profile until I've been on a mud for a while, I usually use the quick connect option rather than going through creating a char first time, so the mud I want to create a profile for is usuall in there.
Once you've selected a mud the next two boxes will be filled in with the mud's na
me and port number.
Then the nexbox Nvda will announce as "edit multiline" that is your character name, and the one after that which is "edit protected" is for password.
You then have two checkboxes for auto login and simple script control.
I've never buggered about with the scripts, but autologin is useful if the mud has the right sort of login screen where it begins by asking username and password, though obviously not for muds like Cosmic rage which start with a numeric menu.
hth.
As regards soundpacks, the problem is that a lot of people start off with Alter and then assume every mud is like that and wo't play anything without sound.
In extreme cases people even complain that the muds like cosmic rage and materiamagica with sounds are bad because they aren't as complete as alteraeon. That is why I try to tell people that while Alteraeon is amazing with it's sounds, it's not a typical mud, indeed i
n some ways it doesn't play like a mud at all.
Btw, I am Thelok on Alter if you ever want to say hi.
