Re: [Audyssey] off topic sendspace.
I don't use XP or IE here, so can't guaranty this will work, but one option might be to change the user agent of IE8. If you do this, SendSpace will think you're visiting using the browser you've set your user agent to, and will serve up their pages optimized for that browser rather than IE8, so stuff might display oddly. There's not a GUI option for this in IE8 so far as I could tell, so your two options are either to modify it using Regedit, or use an addon. A quick Google search turned up the following tutorial to grab a free addon, seemed straight forward at a glance: http://www.techmansworld.com/2012/09/how-to-change-your-user-agent-in-ie8.html I'm sure you know this already, but a big site like SendSpace dropping IE8 support is a clear sign that time is marching on, and it'd be worth familiarizing yourself with a different browser even if you're choosing to stick with XP as an OS.

Hi John. Ah, I sort of assume that with the number of Ca players on this list an the fact that announcements were made about the mud's events and so on there was more by way of actual adaptation, eg, removal of ascii art, combat fixes, easy mapping commands etc. Unfortunately that does mean I can't give the mud a page on audiogames.net, sinse the site db just exists for muds with some sort of in built access changes, this is also why wayfare1444 hasn't got a page.

Re: [Audyssey] Cyber assault mud
My personal recommendation is to gag out any line of text you don't feel like seeing. Without knowing your client there's not much more specific advice I can give you. I will say though, that I've gagged a couple hundred lines - ranging from ascii art to visual separation bars to spammy attack miss sends. If you've got more experience with your client, you can probably trim some of the messages so you only see the important bits (damage amounts only, instead of the whole sentence, for example). There's a monkey term client specifically made for CA, just as mush-z is for Alter aeon, but I've no personal experience with it. -- From: "dark" Sent: Monday, July 06, 2015 5:12 To: Subject: [Audyssey] Cyber assault mud Hi.

Re: [Audyssey] Does anyone play Avalon mud?
I’m not sure about combat. I chose to become a druid, which is a nonviolent guild. I can’t even pick up a weapon.

Re: [Audyssey] Cyber assault mud
Hi Greg. I did see the hp and cp commands, but when I tried to set my prompt off it didn't seem to work, which is a pest because the combat timer seems very fast in the game. I'm actually surprised with all the interest people have shown in the mud there isn't a screen reader page on the cyber assault wiki or similar. All the best, Dark. - Original Message - From: "Greg Wocher" To: "Gamers Discussion list" Sent: Monday, July 06, 2015 2:55 PM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] Cyber assault mud Hello, You can set your prompt to %n which will make it not appear. You can then use commands like hp, cp and mv to get your hit points, psi points and movement points. You can also use commands like units to get the amount of currency you have. Those are the main things I know about. Someone with more experience in the mud might have others. Regards, Greg Wocher On 7/6/15, dark wrote: Hi.
