I havn't fiddled round with this but there are several ways to make some
of this work.
Its not alegal but its a bit hack and slash.
Firstly you will need 7zip from http://sf.net/projects/sevenzip/files
The direct link is.
https://sourceforge.net/projects/sevenzip/files/7-Zip/19.00/
Choose the right version and download the .msi file.
Install that.
next locate 7zip file manager, hit right arrow and choose run as admin.
go tools then options from the menu bar, tab to the list of files, and
highlight the first one.
hit shift tab and hit space.
hit tab, then hit down arrow and repeat till it says all users 7zip and
hit ok.
The user buttons are not labled but they are basically first shift tab
from file list all users and then your current user account.
Once done hit ok and then alt f4.
The manager is also usefull to access protected drives without fiddling
round with file attributes so be carefull.
However if you need to do something adminny and don't give a hoot with
the shell in windows I use this rather than fiddling round with settings.
Just be aware that if you delete any system files, or anything critical
it will delete without much effort and I am not responsible if you need
to reformat because windows didn't start.
Oh and I have done that once so I know it does work but you really don't
want to because it will wreck your life!
The next thing you want is mushclient.
The website never has the latest version but gammon doesn't encript
their files folder so.
http://www.gammon.com.au/files/mushclient/
You may want the help file.
http://www.gammon.com.au/files/mushclient/mushclient_help.zip
and the api file
http://www.gammon.com.au/files/mushclient/mushclient_api.zip
Depending what you want.
The latest version is
http://www.gammon.com.au/files/mushclient/mushclient506.exe
But just select the highest number in that folder.
Now unless something has changed, you should be able to extract that
file somewhere.
right click and choose extract to mushclient<version> then hit enter.
You will not need $pluginsdir or uninstall.exe however you will be able
to extract that and it will work.
Next download mush-z and then transfer the latest mushclient by opening
the mushclient folder you extracted and doing an control x or c to copy
or move then go to the mush-z folder and paste things in there.
After that you should be able to open mushclient and its settings, and
inside world settings I think, you can go to global, I forget but global
is where you need to be I think its called global plugins or you can do
this for each world.
mush reader, and a few others should be selected, I forget the pluggins,
just look what plugins are set with alterian, then copy that
configuration exactly without selecting the alter ian spaciffic plugins
and you have leveraged the mush-z engine for your own uses.

Any accessible but portable mud client on windows?

Thanks for your reply.
I am just looking at MushClient edition for Alter Aeon
Then I would say MUD are all accessible, but some are more blind
friendly.

Hi all, I would like to answer the initial question of this
thread, which was if MUD is text and screen readers read text why
some MUD games are said to be more accessible than others.
First is the technical issue of how they handle all the
miscellaneous text symbols you get with ASCII in the game text. Like
with maps and signs and other such things. Some games have very
good handling of this where it'll say like "the inn is west and the
guild is south" and others will have a whole bunch of symbols there
which to us using screen readers, well it sounds like a whole bunch
of punctuation with no meaning. And some games have an easy and
explicitly stated and eplained way to turn things like those maps
off which you find from the get-go, others have it where you can
find it eventually, some where you have to ask around other players
or the admins. Least this has been some of my experience over two
years of playing a whole lot of MUD games and settling on a small
handful, and mainly sticking to one you folks here told me of
(that'd be new worlds Ateraan these days).
Then I have run across some games where IDK if is my screen
reader (Voiceover on IOS) or my client (mudrammer) or who knows, but
I have found some games where the game seems to lag no matter how
fast my net connection is, and combat can be a pain to a nightmar
depending.
Then there is the helpful-ness of players and admin folks.
I have found most games have good friendly environments where
people are more than willing and often happy to help blind and
visually impaired people out. Though I have found a couple where
other players were impatient jerks and even one where an admin
busted my chops so unercifully for not being able to follow
directions clearly for the fully sighted and that admin was such a
jerk I am still tempted to just bad-feedback the game to hell.
Luckily such has only been the one for me. But I do judge a game by
how well is a blind newbie treated. A truly positive experience was
my first moments of lensmoor, which is why I am still trying to get
folks to play it, besides that you can create/craft/restring pretty
much anything and everything there, the main draw was that in the
opening five minutes I was there two longtime players found me and
said "you don't want that crap starter equipment, if you don't mind
coming with us?" And their second question was "you seem having
trouble with that map junk, do you mind us asking if you use a
screen reader/are blind" and I knew it was a game I would spend near
a year in cause everyone there has been like that, least everyone I
met.
Then is how many blind/visually impaired people play the game.
Is there any kind of blind resources as a dedicated part of the
game. While I wish Ateraan had more flexible crafting option for
non-merchants I will say that a huge percentage of the players
(actually like half the folks I know among the group my character
Danya has met) are in oud blind players channels.
So if you're on Ateraaan try finding me as Danya and if you get
to lensmoor look for me as Rythia or as Vyra. But I do hope I have
given some ideas as to why if MUD is text why some are said to be
more accessible than others.
