I'm on a Mac

Some contingent questions:

1) Anyone else?

2) What clients?

3) And, any scripting/reflex/coding suggestions or help (BioSci background, so coding is not a strength).

P.S. Don't bother posting if you're going to bash RE MAc VS. PC. Or if you're going to be a troll-jerk-psycho-nerd-fromhell

I'm using Atlantis, but I don't like it very much. I miss Zmud. I might actually try running Cmud via Parallels Desktop from my Windows partition. No idea how fast that is.

Rapscallion

Rapscallion? Where from? Couldn't find a working mirror to download it from...

One of my professors has recommended Savitar to other people in the past. I've never used it, and I know pretty much nothing about it, but you can take a look at it if you want.

Edit: Link for Rapscallion. Don't know if it's a proper version or whatever; I'm not on a Mac,

Rapscallion is slower than Nexus, and has WAY harder scripts.
Iocun
I never tried it, but - slower than Nexus on a Mac? Because Nexus is a real pain on my Mac.

If you're using Nexus on Macs, run it on Safari, not IE or Firefox.
Iocun
Wow, why did I never think of that? Thanks.
Trevize
I don't know why, but I had a lot of trouble running most java apps on Firefox on macs. Don't know if it's any better now but it used to lag all to hell and freeze whenever I opened the composer. IE was better, but not by much. For some strange reason, though, it ran perfectly when I used Safari.
Iocun
The only reason I'm using Firefox are the addons. Otherwise I'd always use Safari.

Mudlet, when it's ready, will be available on macs also.

Rapscallion is way too old, and I'm not even sure it runs under the current OS (or the previous 2 for that matter).

Atlantis is fabulous.

Nexus runs like - no matter what broswer I use. Savitar is also ancient, but it may work. I think it may also be OS9 only though.

Mudlet looks like the new Atlantis rival, but having obviously never touched it, and not looked at it in many months. I suggest using Atlantis.
Iocun
My main issue with Atlantis is the poor documentation. It might have the most powerful scripting in the world, but if I can't easily look up how it works it's no use to me. And I don't like asking on some forums for every little thing.

There is that. Although searching the forums for it should suffice instead. I asked a ton of questions, and answered a fair share too. Although that's not much of an improvement I suppose.

I just managed to run Mushclient on my Macbook pro using the emulator Crossover. I only did a quick test, so there can be hidden problems or stability/speed issues with it.

Zmud didn't work using this.
vadimuses
Zmud should work, as Crossover is the commercial version of Wine and is quite similar.

From what I have read, it seems that crossover for linux can run zMud, but the mac version can't. I will maybe try it with some wine mac-version later on.
