Well I forget but mush z is just a shoved together mushclient portable
with a bunch of extras for alterian.
It is actually possible to use the interface for whatever you want.
It is also possible to update mush-z with the latest mushclient portable
or install if you extract the latest from mushclient ftp and transfer
most of it over.
Now its been ages since I bothered with muds.
I used to play miriani and such but quit after a bit because a, I don't
have time for constant playing.
And b, I am in the wrong timezone.
For the us and europe I am seriously in the wrong timezone.
On top of this I don't know any local players and never really got
anywhere major.
But if you can use mushreader and get used to loading the mcl word file
with the right xml files of which I have completely forgot you can in
theory play any mud with the mush-z interface if you load mushclient
then your own game, compile all the stuff into the lists and save the
right mcl file and login with whatever you have.
However I haven't mucked with muds for ages and ages.

Hi Devin,
Mush-Z rings a bell actually. That's probably the client I got a
screenload of errors on. Didn't dare touch anything after that. No
idea what I did wrong but my computer went and acted like the universe
had fallen in or something.
It has been updated since, so I suppose I could have another shot,
though I very much doubt I got a dodgy version, so needless to say I
am extremely nervous.
Cheers.

I'd look into Erion, or Alteraeon. Both have blind-sepcific clients,
which are just configured versions of a mainstream client, have good
sound packs, and are already ready to go.

Alteraeon: https://mush-z.com/

Hi,
I've seen a lot of messages here about muds. I'm getting the
impression
that, given that not many audiogames are made any more, seems
like muds
are the way forward if I want to try anything new.
I don't know a lot about them, in fact I thought "mud" was a
game, but
based on messages that I'm seeing I'm getting the impression they're
merely a type of game.
The only think I really know is that you need a "mud client",
suggesting
that they're online based. That makes me think of things like
QuentinC
and RS, but even that doesn't quite sound right somehow.
Years ago, I tried to use VIPMud but got nowhere, then was told
that it
wasn't supported so I should go use this other thing (which was
apparently better anyway). My teacher then Enthusiastically got
me to
press loads of buttons, only to discover that I got a whole
screenload
of errors, and then they didn't know what to do with themselves and
clicked off. So bang went that idea.
That was the last I heard about muds for a while, up to now.
So I'd be interested to know how they work, how I might go about
trying
one without embarrassing myself, which client I should try, which
game I
should try, etc etc.
Even better, if someone has any free time and would be willing to
actually sit and go through it with me step by step privately on
a call
or something, that would be amazing. Especially since the one
lesson I
learned from my disaster of a session is that it's not a case of
download, launch, play, like most audiogames are.
It'll probably turn out to be one of those things that sounds overly
complicated now, but in a year I'll be a whiz at it. Hopefully.
Cheers.
