MudNet Help

 
   

MudNet is a robot, meaning a computer program that logs in to a player. It links several MU*'s together and allows players on all of them to do WHO, page, @mail, and +finger commands across all the connected MU*s.

Commands:

mnworlds
list of MU*'s that MudNet is connected to.
mnworld <wo>
mnworlds status display for worlds starting with <wo>
mnlist [<expr>]
short list of just world names, see below
mninfo <world>
a brief description of <world>
mnwho <world>
shows you the WHO listing from <world>
mnpwho <world>
shows you the +who listing from <world>.
mnstaff <world>
shows you a +staff or +admin listing from <world>.
mnsearch <name>
shows you a list of worlds where a certain player exists.
mnfinger <name>@<world>
shows you <name>'s +finger info on <world>
mnpage <name>@<world>=<message>
pages <message> to that person
mnmail <name>@<world>=<message>
sends <name> a mail message
mncredits
shows you the credits for MudNet :)

More about mnlist

The mnlist command can be used to filter the list of worlds according to several criteria, such as up/down status, mush type, etc. The accepted keywords are:

  • -all (all worlds)
  • -up, -down, -pause (connection status)
  • -disabled, -enabled (whether to try reconnecting)
  • -public, -private (address shown or not)
  • -pennmush, -mux, -tinymux, -tinymush, -alloymush, -rhostmush, -mure, -muse, -daemonmush, -darkzone, -coldcore (MU* server types)

A keyword that does not begin with a dash will be interpreted as the beginning of a world name. Most keywords may be abbreviated somewhat. !<keyword> matches all worlds that don't match <keyword>. You can form rudimentary boolean expressions using a space for AND and a comma for OR. For example:

mnlist tf -up
lists connected worlds that begin with 'tf'.
mnlist !-penn !-mux -up, -mux -private
lists worlds which are either non-pennmush, non-tinymux and connected, OR private and tinymux.

The MudNet Comsys

MudNet now includes a softcoded comsys with support for multiple channels. To "create" a channel, you can simply join it, get other people to join it, and start sending messages. Channel messages are sent only to worlds where someone is listening on the channel. We've purposely provided no way to get a list of all channels that currently exist; this means you can set up a private channel just by picking an obscure name. For general public conversations, we suggest using channel 0 for starters.

Comsys Commands:

mnjoin <chan>
subscribes you to a MudNet channel (alphanumeric only)
mnleave <chan>
unsubscribes you from a channel
mnclist
lists the MudNet channels you're on
mncwho <world>=<chan>
shows you who is on the MudNet channel for <world>
mncwhoall <chan>
returns a cwho list for <chan> on all worlds
mnchan <chan>=<message>
sends a message to everyone on <chan>
mn <chan> <message>
equivalent to mnchan
mnc <message>
sends a message on the last channel used
