Alright, so I'm abandoning the Atlantis ship I think, and I'm going to use Crossover on my Mac and download Mushclient for starters. I've downloaded Crossover and also the exe. file for Mushclient, but does anybody know how to actually run MUSH after this point? It appears like it should be running, but no new windows pop up or anything so I don't think it is.

Crossover is definitely recognizing the MUSH download as Windows-based because it changed the icon for me, but I can't get it to work. Anybody know? Thanks!
EDIT: Alright, I figured out how to open it, but now whenever I try to install Treant it closes out of Mushclient.

What step causes it to "close out" (which I assume means crash)? And, do you get any form of error message at all?

I fixed it, I had to toggle the 'notepad editor' off. But I have a new problem. I followed your steps to get >> Initialized. After that, though, I tried inputting those commands and it gives me the standard "I have no idea what you're talking about" lines.

You skipped a step, I think.

I've done everything EXCEPT the MUSHCLIENT Properites step, which I physically can't do. I simply can't because of the way Crossover is set up - There's no way for me to get to Properties of MUSHclient. Not under file, not right-clicking it. Nothing.
When you say 'command line', you're talking about the physical input line in MUSH, right? Like where you type in character name and etc?

EDIT: Also, when I try to load the template.mcl MUSH crashes. No error message. Just crash. Boom. Fire.

That part there would be the problem I think. The whole point for the step is for MUSH to load up all the goodies. Unless you go and set all your paths manually from MUSH, it won't work.

Alternatively, I suppose, you could put all Treant files in the default MUSH directory. I -think- that should work. Then again, I've never used this Crossover thing or MUSH or Treant (save for setting it up and looking at it).

Also, not sure about this either, but perhaps Wine would give you less problems? From what I understand Crossover is pretty much the same thing. Only problem is that Wine will work with Intel processors only.

Yeah, I'm trying to find out how to manually set the paths from MUSH but I'm not having much luck, but I'm going to try putting all of the Treant files in the default directory as well. Not sure if that will work, but it's worth a shot.

Crossover is basically a polished up version of Wine, that's why I got that one instead of just Wine by itself. So if it works on Wine it should certainly work in Crossover. Not that the Intel thing would be a problem, but Crossover is more versatile so I'd like to stay with that if I could.

Time to test!

Assuming that you can run things from the command-line (I'm not a Mac person, so I have little idea how you're doing this), why not just go to the directory with the Treant files and run the MUSHclient executable with the full path (or a symbolic link to that path, which is the equivalent of a Windows shortcut)?

I am doing the same exact thing (Running MUSHclient on Crossover) and when it crashes is when you click edit script after loading it. I couldn't make a shortcut either so I stuck the files into the MUSH directory and it still crashed.

EDIT: I can't even select all of the files to load from the treat file.
EDIT2: Each time I try to access the file I get the following error: "Access to C:\\windows\\profiles\\crossover\\Desktop\\My Mac Desktop\\MUSHclient\\Treant was denied"

Did you uncheck the box saying to use the default note editor (or something like that) when you are selecting the script? That was my first problem and unchecking it fixed it. But I still have the other one.

Pardon the double post, but HOW exactly do I do that? I apologize, but I'm not well versed in this whole spiel.

I'm assuming you're using Mac OS X and you can access a FreeBSD command window. If you can't do that for any reason (not Mac OS X or just don't know how), then I'm not the one you should be asking about this any more...

I give up.

Ok I figured out how to open with treant in it's contents but it only opens the program Crossover, not MUSHclient.

Is there a way to manually put all the .xml files and .lua in manually or no?

I had that problem at first as well. I think I had to put the MUSH folder into the bottle that you make in Crossover. Have it within that directory and it should open Mush with it.

I have luck with the other free MUSH systems. Just not Treant.

Like whose? Want to help me set it up?

Nezhna's (sp?) It comes with a simple how-to etc. It works really nice also. It's on the forums.

Alright I'll try it and if it doesn't work then I blame my computer and not my incompetence
