Greetings, Many of you might have heard about Alter Aeon, an online text-based rpg game, also known as multi-user dungeon, mud in short. AA is an epic fantasy based, multiclass mud with lots of areas, classes, quests, gold and equipment, and a large community of both blind and sighted players alike. For the last three or so years I have been working on a huge sound pack for alter aeon which works with MushClient, called mush-z. Some of you might be asking why I chose mush-z instead of vip mud or other blind clients. The answer is simple. Mush-z allows us to do much easier complex scripting and in a programming language that I already know, instead of having to learn vip mud commands. Mush-z also has an output window, just like vip mud does; so you can review any text on the screen. It is all explained in the readme file taht comes with this MushClient distribution.
There are two versions of mush-z. Lite and full. The full version has all the sounds, which is about 300mb, while the lite version doesn't have area music or ambience, which cuts it down to 65 megs. We have an update system,which knows the version that you have and will notify you of any updates that are available when I post them. Mush-z comes packaged into an uncompressed inno setup installer. I decided to leave it uncompressed so you wouldn't get any creepy virus warnings. If you can't download large files, or for some reason you can't use inno setup and would rather have a zipped, portable version of mush-z, please email me at ogomez.s92{at}gmail.com replacing the {at} for the @ symbol. A note of warning. The updater program for mush-z has been written in the AutoIt scripting language, and some virus vendors might see it as a worm. I have provided the source to it so you can see by yourselves it is harmless. If your antivirus reports update.exe as a worm, you will either have to exclude it from the annalysis list, or ask for help in game. Here is a link to the readme file for mush-z, so you can read it while you download the client. It's an html file that should show up in your browser. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2142080/mush/readme.html The links for mush-z are as follows: Mush-z Lite (65mb) http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2142080/mush-z%20lite.exe Mush-z full (318mb) http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2142080/mush-z.exe Source for update.au3 is here, in autoit script format. This is not needed to run mush-z. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2142080/update.au3 --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.
