Seeking a Zmud System

I am probably going to be starting a character in Lusternia and with her/him buying a good deal of credits. Before I commit to this however, I want to be sure that I can get my hands on a quality yet dummy-user-friendly system compatible with ZMUD 7.21. Support is also a definite plus.

Minimum things the system should include:

- Complete up to date affliction curing triggers, with prioritization.
- A "keep on" setting for defenses.
- Support and a guarantee to future upgrades (I would accept having to pay another fee for these)

Please make offers on this thread. Thank you.

While there are a few zMUD systems that still are being maintained, you'd really be better off with either getting cMUD or MUSH as both of them having free system(s) with free updates. You can choose to support the developers of the system and purchase support, which isn't included in the system, beyond the included help files that is.

Check the pinned posts in this thread, you should be able to find them and the links to the websites.

Honestly? I cannot stand their format. Zmud is cleaner, more comfortable for game play. If anyone is willing to sell their system, please say. I believe tomorrow is the last day to buy credits with bonus, so if I cannot strike I deal by then, I am going to end up passing altogether.

Ummm... only person I know that still sells and maintains a rather nice zMUD system is Talkan, try speaking with him in game.

The biggest problem I hear is that you'll lag out in group combat, I think ZMud was the one that people always said lags horribly in the supermassive spam you can get in Lusternia.

zMUD lags a bit, but CMUD was the real problem for me (and several others). MUSHclient is like greased lightning by comparison! smile.gif

This statement makes me very sad. On to try MUSHclient, but the offer still stands.

ZMud and CMud work, I mean... alot of successful fighters use them, but... well. Let me show you this.


This is from a while ago (so please don't comment and necro it) , and it's not that bad by spam standards but you get the idea.

I use Catarin's free Cmud system. She's constantly updating it, and I think it's an awesome system to use! I have no speed issues whatsoever.

I think cmud is a million times cleaner than zmud.

And woo, cat's system! Good stuff.

I would also take into consideration the fact that zMUD is so old now that it's not even supported by the author. CMUD just has a few too many issues for me to enjoy it, though I may revisit it when Zugg finally stops mucking around in the base code (and figures out how to correct some of those serious threading problems).

I am still looking for a ZMUD system. Lagging doesn't worry me much- I've done fine in 15 player+ combat with the same client. Mushclient is nice, but aside from feel a little more cumbersome in its interface, I have no idea how to code with it and have skimmed it's help files in vain. I have not even been able to setup a basic target system, which makes its maintenance and expanded use currently beyond my ability to handle. Please PM me if you have an offer.
Unknown2009-02-04 14:57:39
You didn't look at my tutorial, did you? I didn't write much there yet, but I did show how to setup a targeting alias and a sample attack alias to go with it. (Bonus hint: a little searching on a forum here and there can go a long way to helping you figure things out.)

I understand that it's not for everyone, though, so good luck in your continued search!

Yours truly enjoys the scripting of TinyFugue, by necessity.

CODE
/def addHitString=\\
     /if ({1} !~ "") \\
         /let nee=$%;\\
         /add_item -lhitList -i\\"%{nee}\\" -r1%;\\
         /set processStuff 1%;\\
     /else \\
           /sys_warning addHitString: Being passed a null string.%;\\
     /endif

Looking at that code, all I saw were some cats and knees.

Oh, and slashes. Lots of slashes.

Strcat is a pretty common programming function. Concatenation of strings. Looks like his "nee" is an "I don't want to be very expressive with my variables," since he's assigning the concatenation to it-- but I don't actually know much of anything about TF, so can't say for sure.
