FMud is a simple web based Flash mud client.
A running demo, feature list and installation instructions are available on the FMud project page.
Version 0.7
Released on 7th November 2008.
- Fixed major bug when using FMud with Linux
- Removed display_height parameter. The dimensions of FMud are now calculated automatically from the height and width set in the embedding page
- Added policy_port parameter. This allows you to specify the port where the socket policy file is served. However, this file will be ignored if there is a master socket policy file on port 843
- Added support for aliases, triggers, macros and scripting with javascript. See this post for details
- A log of the output window can be saved in plain text or HTML format
- Updated README and FMud.html files
Saving and loading features require Flash player version 10.

I have to say that support for scripting is just great. I wasn’t expecting that at all. Keep up the good work!

I will hopefully install and test this out tomorrow, from all reports this is looking to be a great release. You never know Matt, i might just drop Portal GT all together and do what we had spoken about a long time ago.

Heh I don’t know if I can drag you away from Portal 😉
But sure get in touch if you want to do something with FMud. I’ll be doing another release soon that fixes a few more socket issues and hopefully will include some more customisation options.

A mud client in Flash. Nice!
I currently have one Java Applet client and one Javascript client set up. A third Flash option would be cool too, especially since this one looks like it has a good number of nifty features!
Looks like a great job you’ve been doing here, but a couple of things disturbed me when using it. These are things you may or may not want to consider:
– Background ANSI colors do not work.
– No option for input in UTF-8. (This is the default on Mac and Linux.)
– Command history places the caret (inconsistently?) before the first character. Isn’t it more natural to place it last?
Cheers and good luck!

Thanks for the feedback, as to the points you raised:
1. I hope to include background colour support in the future, I just haven’t gotten around to it yet as it’s not that straightforward to implement.
2. Input used to be encoded in UTF-8, however in the latest version I had to make some changes to fix a problem with the linux flash player.
3. The history scroll doesn’t work quite right – as you say the caret position is not intuitive and also it stores blank lines. I’m going to fix this in the next release.

This is pretty neat, but for the life of me I cannot figure out how to save/load scripts. Clicking “save” just does nothing for me.

If the load/save buttons aren’t working it’s most likely because you do not have Flash player version 10. The client will work fine with version 9 but 10 is required to access the local file system.

Hello,
I was checking out this script to see if I could get it working with TW 2002… It’s not a MUD per/say but it too runs via telnet.
What I was wondering is if there’s a way to change the “New Line” charature the client uses. Currently it sends a # but I need it to send a true “NL”
Once I can get that to happen it will probibly work great for this application.
Thanks in advance,
La Child

I am not sure what you mean – the client sends /n for a newline.
