Hey all.

The MUD I had been previously playing recently switched to being un-free, which is uncool. So. I searched for a new MUD to play, and found one. Unfortunately, it did not have a spiffy Wizard like the last one, so I downloaded Zmud (of course). It seems like a glorious program, save for two things.
One.
I would like to have all shouts, ooc's, and tells be sent to their own window. This is just an issue with spam, and missing parts of conversations. I am assuming this is something easy, just have to know where to look. Any help on this would be much appreciated.
Two.
I'm not sure if this is feasible, but I would like to map my numpad to be able to use it to walk. ie 8 = north, 6 = east, 3 = southeast, etc. This would probably take some triggers or something spiffy that I do not know how to do.

Thanks!

P.S. If you know of or play a MUD which you would reccomend, by all means, recomend it!

P.S.S Is there somewhere I can find pre-made status bars and buttons and the like? This would be extremely helpful!

1. Use a trigger to send shouts, oocs, tells to their own window.
The pattern should be the channel identifier (the text which lets you know what channel it is)
The value should use the #CAPTURE command. (someone will probably recommend using the #WINDOW command instead, but #CAPTURE is simpler)

2. The numpad does this already. It's part of the default settings. It sends 8 = n, 6 = e, 3 = se, etc. Just make sure you have NUMLOCK on.

3. You can find many excellent MUDs at The Mud Connector. There's a link at the top of this page.

4. Look in the Finished Scripts forum.
