Happy holidays to everyone on behalf of the Mudlet Makers team! We wish everyone a safe and happy celebration along with a positive year.

Hopefully the coming year of 2009 will bring you a great version of Mudlet to play with :)

Hi all,

Unfortunately the Mudlet Beta will be delayed. The reason for this is that the current main display (where you see all the mud text) is too slow - while it handles fine large-spam situations like raids, it performs poorly in certain very unlikely and extreme cases when you get spammed with a lot of lines. So we’re working on implementing a simpler, much more efficient display which will boast much better performance - and this will delay the schedule.

Mudlet is still in pre-alpha though, and we’re looking for experienced scripters - preferably with Lua knowledge - to to test out the functions provided by Mudlet for scripting. This is just the time to request new features so that they can be incorporated into the design easily, or to find issues with the current ones. To get started, see the downloads page - or our forums if you need any help.

The last few developments in Mudlet have been a copy/paste function - this allows you to send text to mini windows, while preserving all of the formatting and coloring. Several bugfixes and usability improvements have also been added.

The Mudlet pre-alpha is now publicly available. The purpose of this release is a through testing of the Lua API, however all general feedback is welcome.

Source code is available via svn: svn co https://mudlet.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/mudlet mudlet (or as an archive)

Along with a pre-compiled Windows binary:

Installers

  Mudlet (Windows)
» 10.8 MiB - December 14, 2008
This is the Mudlet installer for Windows. Works both on XP and Vista.

Give it a try, and please report feedback!

Our website now has a brand-new theme, designed by Thorsten Wilms and implemented by Vadi.

Mudlet is now available on Windows ®, thanks to Demonnic again (he’s also helped us get the Mac version).

Here are some screenshots (the gray background will be fixed later on, along with more polish needed for the script editor):

In other news, multi-host support was implemented - meaning that you can play on multiple characters now. The code to make aliases and timers work was finished also along with split screen!

Work is now being done on the event system and much more.

PS. I’ll be heading off on vacation from Oct 19th to 26th, so probably no updates will be done for the week. I’ll catch up when I get back though!
