FMud version 0.9 released
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 0.9
Released on 16th June 2009.
- Client can again be resized by altering the height and width parameters in the embedding page
- More improvements to ANSI colour handling, removed bold text
- Removed embedded font due to Flash Player display bug
- Font can now be selected from any installed font
- Added option in preferences to disable the keep last command feature
- Added new parameters; font, font_size, hide_password, name, pass
See the included README file for an explanation of the new parameters.
I’m still hoping to rewrite some parts of the client for a 1.0 release, time permitting, but hopefully this release should be an improvement in the mean time.

Forgot to add, line breaks should now be sent correctly from the editor window!

Hey there,
I installed version 0.9 today and it worked great at first but now it seems to only make connections to your site no matter what I enter as fields… bc-dev.net 4000. Anyone else having this problem and know of a workaround?
19th June 2009 at 17:32
Hmm, it’s possible I uploaded the testing version by mistake, I’ll double check!
19th June 2009 at 17:45
Yep, sorry about that, 0.91 is the fixed version.

Changing any colors resets the font.

Just a few questions:
- When you hit enter with no input it just scrolls the window down a small amount. Is this intentional?
- Would it be possible to have an extra button for the edit window that sends the contents without closing? It would be handy for making small edits without reopening/pasting. Thanks.

Found a bug - using a ; causes the line to split into two or more lines, so when you try to do this:
@dig House=North;n,South;s
it creates a one way link North, and then tries goes “Huh ?” at the n,South command
Other than that, it’s superb :D

@Foz, that’s not a bug. Uncheck command stacking in the settings.

That’s awesomeness!
Is there a way of setting the defaults first time in?

Can FMud support change language none En ?

hmmm. so if we dont have root access to our webserver, we are screwed? Trying to get security policy setup :-)
9th October 2009 at 08:31
@Bill You can specify which port to check for the policy file in the embedding parameters. If you serve the policy file on a port > 1024 you shouldn’t need root access. The other alternative is to ask your hosting provider to serve a master policy file which allows all access.

After going with the perl script (since we have an older version of python), I got the client working, sort of. The client doesn’t work in IE8 (haven’t tried older versions), but works in Firefox. I get a security error in IE8 even in compatibility mode, and I am using the newst version of flash. Please help.

@Chris can you access the demo running on this site? It works fine for me in IE8.
2nd November 2009 at 22:58
Yes, your demo does work in IE8. I’m not sure as to the problem, then. When I try to connect, it takes a few seconds, then says “Unable to connect: security error.” I get no connect attempt on the server, yet it works just fine in Firefox, like I posted before.

Dear Matt,
This is an awsome work! :) Is it also possible for us to edit or develop fmud? i downloaded adobe flex builder 3 tried to have a look in but nope..eh.. if not, is it possible for you to add a full screen button to FMud? I’d really appreciate that..
Thank you & Best Regards

Hi Matt!
Love fMud. Can I get the output to to extend more than 80 characters? Is that a mud server setting, or your client setting?
Thank you for releasing this!

ok - I should of looked around more before asking this. I understand now what I need is the right default font. Andale Mono works well, but what is a really common font that is truly monospaced? This issue is:
[repeat(=,90)]
looks very different than
[repeat(-,90)]
Thank you!

Dear Matt,
For some reason we’re getting all the commands echoed back as asterisks as if they’re passwords.
It happened:
in FF3.6/Ubuntu
in FF3.6/Windows
in IE8/Windows
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Roman

@Roman
The client turns the asterisks on and off in response to WILL ECHO and WONT ECHO from the server so I guess you’re not sending WONT ECHO after the password is entered.
If you email me the sequence your server sends/expects for handling passwords I can look at incorporating it in the client.
In the mean time use the hide_password paramater to disable it (see the README for details).
22nd February 2010 at 20:32
Dear Matt,
I asked our Gamedriver team to provide the sequences. However when I tried to set hide_password to 0, the asterisks remained.
Only the commands of the initial connection, until the password prompt are echoed correctly.
Thanks again for your time,
Roman.

Addition:
Our gamedriver sends the options
RCVD IAC GA
with each output stream.
RCVD WILL ECHO
SENT DO ECHO
RCVD IAC GA
for password
RCVD WONT ECHO
SENT DONT ECHO
RCVD IAC GA
after password
RCVD IAC GA
afterwards at any output sent
R.

I think I see what the problem is, I’ll put out a new version with a fix soon.
28th February 2010 at 19:53
Any news? :)
