For >> those >> of you who do not know what a Mud Client is, it is a communications >> program >> which allows you to communicate with on-line multi-user games on the >> internet. >> >> In the past such clients as the following were used: >> 1. GMud. More or less accessible, but not usually right out of the box. >> Its main weakness was that it had no scripting capabilities, and in my >> opinion not too much better than a Telnet client. >> 2. TinTin+ - an Unix text -based client which is an excellent program, >> but >> it was only available for those accessing the internet through a Unix >> shell. >> 3. ZMud - Another excellent program, but almost totally inaccessible. >> Mush Client - A reportedly good client supported by Jaws scripts, but it >> does not work right out of the box. Certainly it is not as powerful as >> TinTin+ nor ZMud. >> >> >> >> The VipMud client that I always wanted would do the following: >> 1. work right out of the box without having to download scripts or make >> many >> setup option changes. >> 2. Work directly with Jaws, Window Eyes, and MS Sapi. >> 3. Be able to use multiple voices concurrently, and be able to mix MS >> Sapi >> speech with a screen reader voice. Also have different voices assigned to >> different activities such as incoming text, command entry, script >> editing, >> system messages, and so on. >> 4. The gamer should be able to play multiple characters on a single Mud >> or >> on multiple Muds at one time, and the characters should be able to work >> together using triggers, aliases, macros, and other scripting commands. >> 5. Support for.Wav, .OGG, and .MP3 files. These files should be played >> as >> background, or when an event is triggered such as when you kill a monster >> or >> you sustain an injury, or to indicate low stats such as energy, mana, hit >> points, and so on. >> 6. The scripting commands should be voice oriented. For example, you may >> want to stop speaking spam, but you may want it still displayed on the >> screen for future use. Or you don't want something displayed on the >> screen, >> but you want it spoken. >> 7. Lots of accessibility aids. An example of one is let's say a >> character >> name Xandiavier asks you a question. It is a painful and time consuming >> experience to first find his name on the output screen, if your client >> allows this, and then cut and copy it to your entry field. inStead you >> could type: "Tell X", then press control-space to complete the word with >> the >> client doing the work by finding it in your recent output info, and then >> finishing with "how's it going?" The End result is "Tell Xandiavier >> How's >> it going?" Other shortcuts are needed as well, such as quickly finding a >> previously entered command by typing one or more of its leading >> characters >> and pressing, say Shift-space. Another helpful tool would allow you to >> extract hard to remember place names, character names, spells, and >> weapons >> from a built-in list of names and phrases which you maintain with just a >> simple keystroke. >> 8. Be able to support powerful scripting capabilities to give you >> complete >> control of your actions and environment. >> >> VipMud does all of the above and much more. It is almost completely >> written >> and is going into alpha testing. Beta testing will start in the summer >> sometime, and it should be coming out early fall, and so stay tuned. >> >> Regards, >> David Greenwood >> [EMAIL PROTECTED] >> http://www.GMAGames.com >> >> >> >> >> >> --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ >> You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups >> "GMA Games Talk" group. >> To post to this group, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] >> To unsubscribe from this group, send email to >> [EMAIL PROTECTED] >> For more options, visit this group at >> http://groups.google.com/group/GMAGamesTalk?hl=en >> -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~--- >> > > > _______________________________________________ > Gamers mailing list ..
