Gannin Posted March 4, 2006 Report Share Posted March 4, 2006 I know that muds aren't nearly as popular as they used to be, especially with free projects such as Planeshift floating around, but I was wondering if anyone could suggest a truly good Linux mud client? Thanks :). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianw1974 Posted March 4, 2006 Report Share Posted March 4, 2006 Not something I've used, or heard of until now, but check here: http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&q=lin...le+Search&meta= If you find any of these look good, you can do this to see if it's available as an rpm install for mandriva: urpmf --name appname substitute appname with the name of the mud client to see if it is listed. You'll have to have made sure you have set up easyurpmi repositories for main, contrib, jpackage, plf-free, plf-nonfree and updates to ensure a good result, or at least a chance for a good result.

Gannin Posted March 4, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2006 (edited) Thanks for the reply. I've done that search before, and it doesn't really produce anything I consider worthwhile, so I was hoping someone would have some knowledge of something good that perhaps doesn't readily appear on Google. It seems like the only three mud clients that are still actively developed are MudMagic, which just doesn't work right for me, even after compiling it for myself, gmud, which is for Gnome and I use KDE, and Jamochamud, which has some quite annoying bugs. In the mean time, I've been using kmud, but it's quite old and still relies on QT 1. If someone knows of anything that I've overlooked, I would love to hear about it. /* Edit */ I take back what I just said. Apparently Gnome mud can be made to work just fine with only gtk+ installed, without needing any of the extra Gnome-specific libraries installed.
