A client shouldn't force their desired behaviour on the game. A client isn't a Cause, it's a viewport to the information and it should represent it as faithfully to the anticipated output as it can.
I don't want to give up on MUDlet, it looks amazing and it works and shows a lot of hard work. I want to promote MUDlet to the players of my game. It's cross platform. That's beautiful. It means I don't have to say "For Windows use this for Mac use this" and all the options will work regardless of what platform, that's heaven and it lets players help each other. I was close to promoting MUSHclient for our Windows users, but stopped short because I ran into some confusing arrogance. They don't let you do aliases with variable (0 to X) number of arguments. The answer: users should script it. That's ridiculous. I have no idea what level of tech savvy other games enjoy in with playerbases, but ours ranges from 18 years old to 60+ a FEW of whom might be able to write their own scripts, but most would just copy/paste code and would have no idea what to do beyond that and as a game administrator, we don't want to support clients, we want to support the game. Again, I really want to promote this client, it looks awesome and I think it can work, please is there not something that can be done in the build? If it's a technical limitation (like, is it a drawing issue?) I can accept that even though I've never encountered this before. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Mudlet Makers, which is subscribed to Mudlet. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1099688 Title: does not resolve the \t character Status in Mudlet the MUD client: New Bug description: Mudlet does not seem to support the \t character (tab). On muds where this is used, Mudlet prints nothing. It does not indent at all. What is expected is either showing the tab character or 8 spaces, but neither happens, and things that are aligned using tabs make things look all wonky, like maps, etc. Mudlet: 2.1 OS: OSX 10.8.2 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/mudlet/+bug/1099688/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~mudlet-makers Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~mudlet-makers More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
