MM2K_TIPS

Updated:  April 5, 2002

This is a very brief explanation of starting up MudMaster 2000 version
v3.1.3.13. More help can be found in Help MudMaster_tips. This deals
specifically with the differences in MM2k.

The first thing you need to do is to download and unzip the setup file.
You can download the file at: http://www.mud-master.com/MMGUI/Download.html

Once you have unzipped it, double click on the file to run the setup. This
will open all the necessary files into the directory specified. You can
use either the default directory, or choose your own.

Once you have completed the setup, there is an icon on your desktop called
MudMaster that is blue and red. Double-click on this file to open up
MudMaster. Now you are ready to go!

Some setup tips:

1. The first thing you need to do is click File, then New to start a
new session. This will then give you the chance to create a new file.
2. Next, click Configuration, then Session Configuration.
- Give the session a name (ie Medievia)
- The server address is medievia.com with a port of 4000 (you can
use ports 4000 through 4007)
- You can use the default script name, or use a script you already
have. If you want to create a new script, you will need to click
ok first, then click File Save As and then save the file name
that you want. Go back into Session Configuration and add that
name as the script name.
- Click OK.
3. Next, click Configuration, then Session Options
- You can change many of the options. These are up to you, if you want
a bigger scrollback, or different colors, here is the place to
change them. I also suggest clicking the MSP/Sound Options tab,
and make sure the Use MSP and the 2 boxes under it are checked.
Also Click the Use PlaySound. You can play around with the sounds
and all the other options later to change them to your taste.
Command Retention is very helpful when you need to type the same
thing over and over. If you check this box, all you will need to do
is hit enter to repeat the last command.
- Click the Misc tab, enter in the name you would like to use for
Chat and your chat port. Most of the times this is 4050, but you can
designate the 4 number port people can call.
- Click Ok. At first, I would suggest keeping the defaults. In the
future, you may wish to play around a bit and see what some of these
do, but they are not needed to play.
4. Click Session and then Connect. This will connect you to the game!

Scrollback:

To scrollback, you need only press the Page-Up key. Alt-uparrow will
allow you to move through scrollback one line at a time. This can also be
used to start the scrollback screen. The final way to see scrollback is
looking to the top of the screen, underneath the buttons you will see a
thin bar. Using the mouse, you can left-click it and while holding it
down, drag it to the middle of the Mudmaster window.

Actions and Alias:

Under Configuration you can click on Action, Alias, Events and Macros.

For example, to set a basic Alias:
1. Click Configuration, click Alias, click Add
2. In the Alias Text box, enter in write, without the quotes.
3. In the Action box, enter write paper quill, without the quotes.
4. If you wish, you can give this a group name, so that you can group
your actions and alias together.
5. This alias you just created will send write paper quill to the game
if you type write and hit enter.

More examples on writing Alias, Actions and Macros can be found in Help
MudMaster_tips. You can use the same syntax in that file, or you can enter
it though the GUI boxes as shown in the example above.

Dont forget to save the file after editing it! (Click File, Save)
