Hi.
I am running it on windows 8.1 on two different computers, a 64 bit
Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro and a 32 bit Asus T100 tablet. It's best to install
Monkey Term itself, and MTScripts, both in your documents folder, so
saying you would open your documents folder, then open the monkeyTerm
folder and there would be all your mt stuff. This is because MT doesn't
know how to deal with admin limitations on new windows version (vista
and up). There are ways to get around that, but it's much simpler to
tell people to put it in a different folder where their account has full
write access. I'm not so sure this is something only MT has a problem
with, because when I installed mush Z a while back it also went into my
documents folder, and If memory serves me right, I wasn't the one who
chose to put it there meaning I didn't pick that destination during the
install process.
I have to tell people to install Monkey Term separately from MTScripts,
and to make sure they put it where it needs to be manually by selecting
the location to install in during the install process, because MT isn't
portable so I can't just wrap it up in my own installer, at least not
without knowing more about this stuff than I do.
That said, if it does get installed in documents, so far it looks to me
like it's quite nearly completely trouble free. It needs Visual c++
runtime 2005 redist 32 bit, even on 64 bit computers, but It's been a
long time since I had a computer that didn't come with it already
installed, and that includes my Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro and my T100 which I
bought just a few months ago. Sometimes MT crashes and needs to be
restarted, but it's nothing that I didn't see on Windows 7 and it only
happens maybe once a month. So yes it runs ok on modern computers. I
don't know how much longer it will run, but I'm going to stick with it
until I can't run it anymore, because I've put so much work into it I
just don't want to waste it all by giving up on it now. When there does
come a time I can't run it, I expect I'll switch to another client and
port MTScripts to it, laboriously. I just like MT for how simple it is
and how open it is to being made complicated while still maintaining a
very consistent and stripped down interface.
There's some discussion about notepad being awfully simple as word
processors go in relation to coding in BGT with it. Think of a notepad
window that you can add all the hotkeys you can think of to it, all the
aliases you can think of, all the actions, add more windows to it, make
it's status bar say what you want it to say. Adjust options in it's own
menu bar from the document window, etc. That's the way MT feels from
someone who messes with it the way I do. It's really powerful in some
slightly different attitudes than other clients. Although, at the same
time, it most definitely is antiquated, no longer in development,
written in a very old language, slower than other clients at processing
hundreds of commands, and it's remaining life is something we can't
really know until we install it on the next windows OS. So said, this is
one reason I like Microsoft, since in spite of their starting and
dropping support for stuff left and right, they do still seem to be
happy allowing you to run really old software written languages they no
longer support. MT has been out of development for more than 10 years.

To my knowledge there are people using MT on windows 8.1. And I myself
use it on a 64 bit platform.

Steven,
Monkey term supports cyber assault, and one of the game's admins was
working on a sound pack for it. You can download the client and I
believe the sound pack at http://valiant8086.com it's under games,
under muds iirc. Good luck.
