    Today I returned from an unscheduled week-long vacation from Achaea, at the end of which I was handed a $230 paperweight.

    "Nothing could be salvaged."

    Someone helpfully suggested that maybe this would be a good time to finally switch to mudlet. There was an attempt. A hilarious one. There may or may not have been a tear. Possibly two.


    I'm a little on the fence, though. I'm a bit worried that I'm going to go through all the quirks that come with getting used to a new client only to find out that people find mudlet better because it's free and they have easy access to ready-made systems, two things that aren't a factor to me because I can do a hell of a lot with cmud, am not eager about systems to begin with, and already have a license. If you are so inclined, PM me your thoughts?

    If you're starting fresh on a new client, go Nexus, all the GUI stuff is set up already, serverside curing is a thing, so all the grunt work of a system is already done, you can then take your time coding up your own scripts for the Nexus client, learning as you go.

    The Nexus client is awesome and makes it so you don't -need- mudlet or any other third party client, but the sheer number of things you can do in Mudlet (and the relative ease of doing them after a little know-how) still wins out in my opinion.

    And you won't understand the cause of your grief...


    ...But you'll always follow the voices beneath.

    I'm still on CMUD, as well. I find it hard to switch over - CMUD has some really useful options that make MUD gaming easy, like permanent variables and MUD-specific functions. I'm sure that stuff can be setup in mudlet, but it feels a lot harder to do as a newbie to mudlet.

    For example, in CMUD I have a script that tracks notes I set about people, stored in a simple database. I can view and modify the variable easily by just opening my settings, or via a quick little alias. It was a script that was easy to write and is easy to tweak, but I have no idea how to even approach doing something like that in mudlet as variables don't persist between sessions :/
  • PenwizePenwize
    Making things persist in mudlet is actually really easy, but you're right that it's not automatic.  Instead, you have to save and load stuff yourself in code.  That's best tied to events like connect and disconnect.  Assuming you're keeping stuff you intend to save/load in a table (which you probably should be), saving and loading looks like this:

    Saving:

    table.save(getMudletHomeDir().."/buffConfig.lua", stuffToSave)


    Loading:

    stuffToSave = {}
    table.load(getMudletHomeDir().."/stuffToSave.lua", stuffToSave)


  • JonathinJonathin Retired in a hole.
    The hardest part about switching from an outdated client like zmud or cmud is getting used to the syntax and logic-flow of decent Lua implementation rather than the shoddy band-aid stuff from Zuggsoft.
    I am retired and log into the forums maybe once every 2 months. It was a good 20 years, live your best lives, friends.

    Naw, it's not. I suspect many people view us old holdouts as dinosaurs who don't understand tech and can't code and can't even hope to comprehend basic code - I've been directly told that before, just because I don't use the same client as people. That's an ugly and mean view (not saying you have that, just saying it happens, and it's ridiculous). 

    I work in tech. I am not a coder, but I work with code enough, everyday, that I'm not a newb with it. I'm just tired and lazy when I get home from work and having to learn something new is ugh- learning new stuff is hard and tiring. I'm prepping for grad school and I do external work to improve my job skills (eg coding a Selenium task to order me pizza :P) so I don't much have time - I really appreciate CMUD in that it just lets me go do stuff with minimal setup. Yes, I could be better and more streamlined and fancier with mudlet shit - but I also just want to play the game. 

    Sorry, perhaps a personal issue coming out, but it's so annoying that everyone assumes people not on mudlet are incompetent. Some of us have just been playing MUDs for a long time - I remember when switching to CMUD was a big deal! Sometimes it's just easier to chug away with what you have.

    Killed Ophal, figured I would try Lafrin.

    Someone decided to control him and have some fun with it. 

    Apparently I'm now a chicken, because I taste good.

     @Atalkez the real question is whether you did, in fact, last longer than a virgin at a doxy house.
    - (Eleusis): Ellodin says, "The Fissure of Echoes is Sarathai's happy place."
    - With sharp, crackling tones, Kyrra tells you, "The ladies must love you immensely."
    - (Eleusian Ranger Techs): Savira says, "Most of the hard stuff seem to have this built in code like: If adventurer_hitting_me = "Sarathai" then send("terminate and selfdestruct")."
    - Makarios says, "Serve well and perish."
    - Xaden says, "Xaden confirmed scrub 2017."

    @Qwyn: I actually used CMUD for a very long time before switching to Mudlet.  It was a big hurdle, losing everything and rebuilding in Mudlet, but it was worth it in the end I think.  It's certainly more performant and flexible these days, at least.

    Yeah, I can see its worth. I'm at the point where I've been playing IRE games for a decade and I don't even know if I wanna bother with PVP in my new IRE game. If I do, I'll probably switch. I'm very much on the fence because of Aetolia - the automated combat there really killed my desire and I haven't done MUD PK since.

    Eating a chocolate to see if it'll give me an advantage when hunting...

    You eat a delectable heart-shaped chocolate with gusto.
    The world suddenly seems to grow all around you - you have been turned into a toad!
    (UNTOAD to revert to a non amphibious form.)
    Your race is now that of Toad.

    ... thanks, chocolate.

    That's pretty much how it went for me too. Except no one turned me into a chicken. (?)

    Nice of you to assume without knowing. I wonder if @Atalkez sees it like this as well.

    Nah, he tentacled me once so we dueled.

    As for how I got him? Trix! 

    They aren't for kids, either :(

    I am really enjoying how much money I made off the gift bags! Received 6 (1 was a bonus) bags, gained 1 potted orchid, caches, 4 heron feathers, 6 clay chips (20 bound credits trade-in=120), ethereal shroud, & 7 cerulean life stones. Gained about 140 credits off the sales of the orchid/caches. Definitely not a bad deal for credits I was going to buy anyways.

    Edit: Did not win the big prize yet. Here's to big hopes! Also was very amused that the demand was so high for the orchid it nearly sold as much as the cache. 40 credits was what I got offered for the orchid/50 credits each for the caches.
