Sending a non-quoted IAC character to the MUD.
|
Can this be done using ZMud? I have tried
| Code: |
| #sendp {%char(255)} |
but it seems to be quoted (sent twice).
I am attemping to get ZMud to see/accept a game-specific protocol (Achaea), if only in a very limited fashion, but not being able to send the correct response is proving to be problematic. |

The telnet protocol specs say to use IAC IAC to indicate sending the actual character. That is why zMud does it. To do what you want you will have to write a plugin, and even then I don't believe plugins are active during the protocol negotiations. So you may still have some problems.

Meh, thank you, it looks like I am back to looking at software which goes between ZMud and the server to interpret this... Or just giving up again...
It is -very- frustrating that everyone can't just use the standards in place (e.g. MXP, which would work fine for what is being sent) or at least make sure that the new "features" are avaliable to the majority of users instead of just people using their annoying java client (which anyone who wants to do more then chat hates). |

ACP isn't honestly that useful anyway - they're intending to remove the one thing it's good for, which is seeing through the blackout affliction.

Having a 100% sure way of matching room descriptions would be nice. Similarly getting maxhealth, etc., off of the prompt is nice. I suspect it would also make things a little bit faster since it would be very simple to tag prompts, instead of worrying about a specific pattern.... Oh, and plus, it's IRE, so I don't think they're going to fix it soon (it's been "broken" for ages now anyway).
