Hi Scott,
A mud client is a specific program used by some people to
play on a
mud. Usually, it has features specific to playing, such as
triggers, macros
and aliases that one utilizes for example, to abbreviate a multi word
command down to a few letters or just a number. In my case, I use
various
sound affects as feedback to tell me what is going on in the game,
such as
players logging in or out, messages sent to me, character deaths
and the
like.
One can use Telnet to play in a basic way, but from
experience, a mud
client simply offers a lot more features and customizability to
make your
gaming easier and better. Of course, if you don't play on a mud,
this is
all probably like a different language to you.

Stupid question, but what is a mud program. I understand its a
client, but
have't heard of a client referred to in thisway, but maybe I've
been asleep
again.
tnx

Hi Jane,
I'd be more than happy to pay for a working client. Please let
me know
how it goes, and, if possible, please pass along a link. I'd love
to try it
as well.

Have found one that has potential caled Nintius, or somethijng
similar. I am
going to email the developers, though and see if they will fix it.
It is
supposed to be able to speak, but of course it doesn't do this
reliablym and
I suspect VO has something to do with this and wondering if they
can fix it.
If they do, then I'll be happy to pay the $10 for it.

Hi folks,
This topic has come up a few times, but I'm tossing it out there
again.
Has anyone found a mud client for the Mac that works well with
VoiceOver?
I've been looking around and experimenting, but I've found
nothing as
of yet. Salvitar has potential, but the author didn't seem to
want to
give VO anything more than the generic accessibility lip service
response to my
inquiry about it. My coder for the mud I run suggested, Mud
Walker, which
he uses, but it isn't really accessible either.
Thus, as an admin, I am really looking for a client that does
more
than, let's say, telnet. Getting Telnet to work with speech
feedback
would be a start, but the use of triggers and other events one can
customize in, let's say, gmud or zmud, would be more useful. If you
know of any that either don't work or partially work, I'd be even
interested in that, as I am not adverse to contacting authors
directly.
Thanks
