VT support?

This was actually in a topic from 2002, but there wasn't a single reply. I've played on the same MUD Creep mentioned, and while the VT is nice.... MUSHClient doesn't support it.

I think it's fairly obvious what I'd like to see. Full VT support (Even Windows telnet has it >.<). In the program itself, or in a plugin, either way would work. The only problem I can see with it, is that every implementation of VT I've seen so far, forces the screen to a specific number of lines, so maybe if MUSHClient gets the support, it could manage more lines between the top and bottom of the 'interface' somehow?

This has come up a few times in the past. :)

Yes, Windows telnet supports it, but it isn't a MUD client.

MUSHclient is a MUD client, but doesn't support VT sequences.

The reason is that basically everything MUSHclient does, does not make sense if characters can come down individually, screen addressed to column 5, line 7, and then column 22, line 15.

Under these conditions:

• You can't trigger on end-of-lines, because lines never really end
• You can't log lines for the same reason
• You can't scroll back, because scrolling back is really line by line.

It's just a different beast, sorry.

All I can suggest is PuTTY which is a nice full-featured telnet client. It supports SSH, UTF-8, and has lots of other features.

It is free. You can get it from:

Could a plugin put the VT interface in a mini-window, maybe?

You could conceivably do that.

So the question is... who would be inclined to code the plugin? my scripting knowledge is exceptionally limited.
