I'm in need of a good Linux MUD client. I'm poking at a few, but it would be a lot easier if someone could just point me to the best.

Preferably, it should include Python scripting, because it would give me a reason to learn Python like I've been meaning to do forever now.

If you use KDE, I've heard kmuddy is pretty good.

Luckily for you the best Linux client IMHO is Lyntin which is 100% python and you can do just about anything you want with it.

Lyntin

You can also try MMUCL, which I love, which is TCL
love-mimi

Yeah MMUCL is good too, apart from a couple of annoying ANSI bugs, but it means learning TCL since you can't use Python.

Bleh sorry, thought it had python support...

Will by trying Lyntin when I get home. kmuddy threw me about 6 dependencies apt didn't feel like getting, and I really don't feel like screwing around with it right now, while I'm still learning the OS. I've already done a complete reinstall twice because I screwed up trying to update Firefox and that was the easiest way to fix it.

Thanks for the help guys!

Finally got Lyntin to read my modules, and Python is easy as hell to learn.

Now, for the hard part, which I doubt anyone will have a clue with:
I want to be able to grab all input from the user, and parse it. Anything I don't fool with should go to the MUD, but the stuff I catch should NOT. Currently, I can catch everything, but it all goes through to the MUD and I get a copy to play with. It's annoying, but I don't see a way to make it work my way without hacking the engine itself.

After looking at it, I suppose I can tweak it a bit. After the client gets done parsing all the input, it sends it to the MUD. It should work if, instead of having it send the input, it sent the returned results of my parsing function instead, right?

Nevermind, I got it.
