TinTin++ Likeness to MushClient, Afterthoughts

[ribbybbir]

I found a Linux variant that could compare with MushClient, to an extent. It's still pretty much CLI, but MUDs are CLI/TUI, most of the time. I'm just getting the hang of this. I read that telnet have an SSL option, which I wanted for my MUD games to have. Anyone got any ideas? I found that both server and client need to get their own SSL setup.

I also read that TinTin++ can render character based maps!

Wow! Looks pretty amazing. Now, MUDs can compare to Medievia MUD. Thing is, I am not sure if it is the server's responsibility to render such 'graphics'.

Most importantly, I was wondering if there is a chance that TinTin++ could host its own channel on irc.liberia.chat:6697? Maybe there could be a Flatpak/Flathub build of TinTin++?

Hi. The server needs to indeed set up SSL on a separate port for it to work.

For webtin, the mud will need to run a tintin script locally, typically in combination with #config childlock on.

I'm not really interested in messing with flatpak, it'd be just another of a long list of things to keep track of. I doubt irc will draw enough people for it to be worth the trouble.

I get almost all of the explanations.

For webtin, the interface script has to be run on the client side or both sides?
Is there a way to find the config file or to save settings to a config file? I see ~/.tintin/history.txt, but that's about it.

By the way, for thorough support, should I use the contact information in the credits lump?

Webtin runs in the browser, so the script needs to run server side.

You can save the current configuration with #write, though that'll save any other triggers/settings as well. Most people add any #config modifications to their script files.

Support is typically through the discord channel, it's linked from the website.
