Clients tend to have more options than java scripts and using telnet. Here is a list of recommended clients that most of our players play with.
JMUD – Similar to zMud, JMC supports unlimited player profiles for any number of accounts, aliases, trigger actions with complex pattern matching using wildcards, custom key assignments for user-defined macros, variables, speed walking, auto map generation, extensive built in and user-defined functions, ANSI color, word wrapping, wave sound support, built in Winamp integration commands, advanced logging in textual and HTML formats with customizable style sheets, full scripting support for total customization, advanced COM object support to enable the external control of JMC functionality, and much more! Best of all, it’s totally free! How awesome is that?
WinTin – Wintin 95 is a ‘mud client’: that is to say it is a program especially designed for playing text-based multi-user dungeons. It is a fully graphical multi-windowed program which will run under Windows 95 or Windows NT.
TinTin – TinTin++ is a console mud client for any type of text mud or bbs. The mud client’s main assets are an easy to learn scripting language, triggers that can contain regular expressions, and a split screen interface to separate mud output from client in.
The connection strings for the above clients is to type in: #connect tibernas.tzo.com 9100
The above mud clients are free. However, you can use other mud clients that are for paid.
