[Audyssey] Muds was Re: Cyber Assault with Mush-Z?
What other muds would you recommend, dark? -original message- Subject: Re: [Audyssey] Cyber Assault with Mush-Z? From: dark d...@xgam.org Date: 27/02/2014 7:49 am Hi John. I personally don't find muschlient as user friendly as Vipmud, not using sapi, indeed I only use it for Alter because of the pack and I wouldn't really be inclined to do lots of shenanigans with triggers and scripting and all those complicated things to try a mud out. I might try with Vipmud as bare bones at some point, though I do think a full pack would be nice and would encourage people to play the game a lot more, heck, with the alter pack alteraeon isn't really just a text game anymore, it's close to being a full on audio rpg. Beware the grue!

It works fine with mushclient. If you play alter aeon, you can import the mush reader, output functions and channel history plugins right into your new world. After that, its not very hard to start setting up triggers for sounds. I think it took me only a couple months to have a solid start on a soundpack for myself, if that. P.S: I can here the question already, so I'll say now that I won't distribute my pack, though I'm more than happy to help folks build their own. - Original Message - From: leo largel1...@gmail.com To: gamers@audyssey.org Date sent: Wed, 26 Feb 2014 15:00:22 -0500 Subject: [Audyssey] Cyber Assault with Mush-Z? Hi, Is there a way to play Cyber Assault with Mush-Z? I have always wanted to play it but I use Mush as my primary client.

Re: [Audyssey] Muds was Re: Cyber Assault with Mush-Z?
Hi Lindsay. to be honest I've not played many muds, since I tend to find if I am playing a game with descriptive text the real time elements get in the way of my appreciation of the game's atmosphere. After all, if you walk into the Dragon's laire and before you have time to read the description your typing commands like a demon and having your mud client saying the dragon attacks you for x damage you don't really get time to be ored. In fairness Dentin did stick in a really nice command the preview corpse command which gives you enemy descriptions after you have defeated them so that you can appreciate what things are like, but still generally speaking I find myself less attracted to muds than to other forms of interactive textual games such as gamebooks or browser rpgs. I also confess I'm a rather antisocial player in and am more interested in exploring and interacting with the game than with other players, for all I don't mind saying a quick hello. Indeed the Alteraeon blog had a very nice article a while ago which listed different types of game players, and the explorer type definitely fit me :D. This also means any mud with unrestricted pvp is a complete, absolute and very much major turn off for me, since frankly i don't care about fighting other players and don't want my game ruined by them fighting me. I'm also not personally interested in online rp with other players, (I prefer my rp live with a real human gm and a few friends), although i do't necessary mind that so long as there is plenty of solo stuff to do in the game as well. Of the mud's I've playedAlter has been my favourite and the one I've spent most time on. I tried out project bob but found it so stat heavy as to be rather confusing to play and rather thin on actual atmosphere, I also tried medevia, but the ascii maps sort of got on my nerves a bit which is a shame since I rather fancied the random content (though I have heard bad things about that game). materiamagica I have spent a reasonable amount of time withhowever at that point I got irritated with the quest system in the game since it was possible to level up and miss a lot of quests, and even to complete the newby area with things half done. Mm has however had some verye extensive changes recently to alleviate some of these issues, as well as to make accessible many aspects of the game. Actually their access fixes are very nice indeed, although I've not yet got around to giving them as much of a try as I really should. I'd love to try miriani, or another space mud with different planets, spaceships and exploration, indeed I've read several parts of the Miriani docks and online helpto get a handle on the game, however every space mud I've seen has either been so pvp it's ridiculous like Miriani, or run by Rp inforcement Nazis. I really in fairness ought to try more muds, and to spend some more time with games like Materiamagica, since I know there is more out there, it just seems whenever I am wanting to play a text game muds never really occur to me first, I'm more inclined to go and play a gamebook or a browser game where I can read the text and relax as I play. This might just be me or a matter of experience though. Beware the grue!
