I wonder why MO has like 23 players and a really small PB while GS,
DR, and others have upwards of 200?

Subject: [Audyssey] playing Simutronics games via telnet
Hi, all. I recently was reviewing the archives of recent messages
and saw a
discussion of the muds offered through Simutronics. In case anyone
is not
aware, it is possible to play these games with your favorite mud
client of
choice. To do so, you first must have an account with Simutronics
for the
game you wish to play. Here is how I've been able to play these muds
through telnet in the past.
Once you have an account and have downloaded the Simutronics launcher
program and Wizard front-end, I'd also encourage you download a
program
called Simutronics game entry, which will allow you to log into the
game by
inputting your account name, password, and the game you wish to
play. It
may be called Ultimate Simutronics Game Entry now. Once you have
logged in,
the wizard program will load and put you into the game, and you'll
likely
hear some music to let you know you're in the mud. Then you'll have
to type
quit to exit the game.
Here's where the fun begins: playing through telnet. When you log
into the
game with the wizard, a file is put into the root directory of your
hard
drive, usually your C drive. The file is called gse.~xt. It
contains the
authentication login key you'll need to access the game, and as an
added
bonus, it contains the host name and port you will telnet into,
which I
think is something like gs3.simutronics.net 4900. Copy everything
after
key= to the clipboard, as it will be the login key you'll use
momentarily.
It'll look like a long series of letters and numbers.
Now you will run your mud client of choice and telnet to gs3.simutronics.net
4900. When you connect, your screen reader won't say anything. Now
just
paste the login key and hit Enter, then type the word JAVA, all in
caps, and
press Enter, whereupon you should see "please wait for connection to
game
server." Now you're playing the game using telnet.
If you log out and wait more than fifteen minutes or so, the login
key you
used to get in will be invalid, so you'll need to enter the game
using the
Simutronics Game Entry program and quit, following the steps I
mentioned
earlier, in order to play once again.
The other Simutronics muds, Dragon realms, Alliance of Heroes, and
Modus
Operandi, each have their own telnet host and port names, but you
can find
those by looking for the gse.~xt file in the root directory of your
hard
drive.
In case any are wondering, the Wikipedia entry on Gemstone IV
mentions that
using telnet to play Simutronics games is possible, and truthfully
has been
for years. I am not affiliated in any way with Simutronics, but
just wanted
to let players know that one can play their games through telnet and
how to
do so.
Hope you all will find it useful. Now if there was a way to make
the Wizard
client for Legends of Terris or Legends of Cosrin accessible with
JAWS or
Window-Eyes. Their wizard program behaves very similarly to
Simutronics'
wizard program, repeating lines of text and generally making the play
experience rather inaccessible. In case anyone is wondering about
these two
games and can work some technical magic through scripting, they can
be found
at www.legendsofterris.com and www.legendsofcosrin.com. As with the
Simutronics games, these two are also pay to play, around $13.50 per
month
if using Paypal.
Regards,
Chad
