JamochaMUD

JamochaMUD is a MUD/Muck client written in Java.

JamochaMUD offers Unicode, plug-in, and multi-language support (8 different languages) to allow a more enjoyable MUCKing/MUDding experience.

JamochaMUD project features command history, synchronized window controls, experimental SOCKS 5 support, and greatly improved ANSI colour support.

It plays nice on Unix systems, supports a wide range of MU*s, and also includes emulation of some TinyFugue editor controls. It uses Java 1.1, and includes classes to be easily reused in other Java applications.

Features:

• General items:
• JamochaMUD can handle Multiple MU* connections simultaneously
• Support for both terminated and unterminated lines (common on many MU*s)
• ANSI Colour support
• Different frames (timers, main window, etc.) may be moved, hidden, or shown either synchronised or independent of each other.
• Multi-language support (languages that are not supported currently can easily be added by folks that needn't even know how to program).
• Unicode support (may currently not work?!), which allows the display of double-byte languages and Non-western language font support, such as Russian cyrillic characters
• Support for JamochaMUD plugins the extend the features of the basic MU* client
• Socks5 support (perhaps limited, but it does work!)
• Programmable macros and definitions
• File menu items:
• Save your session output to a (plain text) file
• Edit menu items:
• Just the usual cut and paste features
• Connection menu items:
• Quick reconnect to a MU* that you had just left.
• Option menu items:
• Changing font size, type, and (base) colour
• Changeable background colour
• Assign external programs to deal with special features, such as URLs.
• Socks5 support
• Manage plugins independently of each other
• Split Frames, which allows the input and output windows to be either combined or totally independent of one another.
• Autofocus input (automagically sends typing to the text-input window if another frame of JamochaMUD is currently in focus).
• Smooth display turned "double-buffering" of the MU* output area on or off. With double-buffering the redraw of the area is smoother, but slower. With double-buffering off, the refresh appears faster, but flickers more. (A personal taste thing!)
• The ability to use Unicode characters when connected to a MU*. (This must be supported by the MU*).
• The option to enable Tiny-fugue emulation. This enables JamochaMUD to emulate some of TF's " editor" keyboard controls.
• Plug-ins menu: allows quick access to the properties of a plug-in
• Help menu items:
• The 'Help' function connects you to the JMUD pages... In theory this will supply you with the most up-to-date JamochaMUD info. Yes, always on the bleeding edge of text-based MU* technology!
• Additions via available plug-ins:
• Replacing JMUD's title with your current location
• Gags and triggers allowing highlighting/dumping of text as well as audio hints (as of 2000-08-12).

What is new in this release:

• This release fixes dropped text and missing hyperlinks. JamochaMUD now partially supports MXP (MUD eXtension Protocol).

What is new in version 3.8:

• This version fixes a problem with some classes being able to send null data to a server (causing JamochaMUD to disconnect).
• This release fixes the FM Location plug-in as well as featuring some additional code clean-up.

What is new in version 3.7:

• In addition to fixing some smaller bugs, this release of includes the ability to "co-brand" the client.
• This feature allows Web sites using JamochaMUD to display their own graphic on the World Connector window and provide XML-based lists of MU*s to present to the user.

Requirements:

• Java 2 Standard Edition Runtime Environment
