Protocols
CoffeeMUD uses many protocols to improve player control over their client interface. For more information on protocols, see the Protocol Guide.
Enabling MSP and MXP
Setting up MUD Sound Protocol (MSP) and MUD eXtension Protocol (MXP) on various clients may require additional steps. The table below identifies solutions provided by CoffeeMUD users on how to enable these features (if available).
| Client | MSP | MXP |
|---|---|---|
| Tintin++ | Try adding the script from Mudhalla. At this time, no CM user has verified the success of this script. | Try adding the script from Mudhalla. At this time, no CM user has verified the success of this script. |
| MUSHClient | Make sure you have installed MUSHClient in an unprotected folder, such as My Documents or Desktop. When installed in your Programs file (default), many features will not function properly.
Next, download the sounds from the CoffeeMUD homepage, and unzip them somewhere on your hard drive. Now, in mushclient, type "set_msp_path $path", where $path is the place on your hard drive you unzipped the CoffeeMUD sounds to. |
