I'm guessing this is the most appropriate place to ask this question. I was reading through GMCP documentation and haven't found anything regarding Config prompt armbalance on, or anything similar. Does anyone know if this sort of functionality is available?

As far as I've seen or used, GMCP doesn't send prompt flags (i.e. balance, EQ, sprawled etc), so it wouldn't contain armbalance either.

EDIT: Also, I'm almost thinking it's different from what you think it is. GMCP is basically a hidden sub-protocol, so you never see any GMCP-messages. They're all hidden in the background, and only used by the clients themselves for keeping track of stuff like health, mana, items, comm-channels etc.

Lol, I know what GMCP is. It was a more general question targeted for something of that specificity. That's a shame. What about room descriptions? I know there's room inventory, but there's also some useful stuff in the description to note. Any ideas?

No long desc is sent with room info, no.

As for the aledged "details" that's supposed to be sent, I've never come across a room that uses it. Not sure it's a bug or I've just missed it.
