*** View every map from this wiki in-game.<br>
**** Just in case you wish to uninstall one day, make a backup of the Lua51 dlls (just copy/paste).
*** <u>Features</u>: Draggable map list and map viewer windows. Maps viewed inside the window are also draggable.<br>
**** Extract MSDP-Sidebar into your main Mushclient folder. It will need to overwrite the Lua51 dll and merge a folder.<br>
*** <u>Patch Installation</u> Download "TFC Maps v1.0" and follow Normal Installation instructions first. Now download the patch and instead of adding the "TFC_Maps.xml" plugin, use the patch plugin "TFC_Maps_for_MSDP_GUI.xml" . Really it doesn't matter where the patch plugin is, but personally I would put it into the TFC_Maps folder to keep things organized.<br>
**** Open up your world file or create a new one.<br>
*** <u>Patch Note</u>: Windows are not draggable in the patch version because if they were, other miniwindows in the MSDP GUI would overlap them making it next to impossible to use.<br>
**** Add the plugin TFC_Msdp_Sidebar.xml (File/Plugins.../Add...) MUSHclient/Generic/worlds/plugins/TFC_Msdp_Sidebar.xml<br>
*** <u>Normal Installation</u> Extract TFC_Maps.zip into your main MUSHclient folder then simply add the plugin located in the extracted folder.<br>
**** Save the world file so the plugin loads every time you play. (File/Save World Details) If this is on a clean install, you will need to create or select a State folder when saving. For convenience, I have made one within the plugins folder that you can select. <br>
*** <u>Notes</u>: Right click on the map viewer window to view large/small maps and to close the map viewer window. Map list window has a red X in the top right corner to close. Maps are not all in alphabetical order. Commands below are to help with not having to take your hand off the keyboard as often.<br>
**** Close the world and reopen.
**** You're done! <br>
*** <u>To uninstall</u>: Remove or disable the plugin. Save the World Details, then close the world and reopen. If you wish to fully uninstall, delete the Generic folder.
*** <u>Version Notes</u>: Pre-release. Not all spell icons have been created, so some use a generic one. You can still see what spell it is by hovering your mouse over the icon.

**** <b>map list</b> Opens the map list window.

  • flee;take recall bag;quaf recall
  • (if you have them in a bag; it's best to keep two in inv)

Auto Logging

There is a system alias called "atconnect" for the value of the alias use the following:

Tips

  • Installation
    • If on Windows, do not install to the Program Files folder. That is a read-only directory and will give you errors when trying to save your world (triggers/aliases/etc..)
  • Command Stacking
    • Used to being able to send multiple commands by separating them with a semicolon? This can be enabled by going to Game/Configure/Commands... and if you like using the semicolon as a shortcut for group chat, you can pick something else for it to use.
  • Command Repeating
    • Send a command without it blanking out. This can be enabled by going to Game/Configure/Commands... and ticking Auto-repeat command.

Atlantis allows you to filter the incoming lines and redirect it to a separate window or a "Spawn". Disable the "Show new activity" option on all but the main spawn.

  • Ftell Channel: In the address book create a spawn called 'ftell' and add the following patterns. This will route all the ftells to a separate window. Set the maximum lines to 100:
    • Contains : ftells
    • Begins with: You ftell
  • Who output: In the address box create a spawn call 'who' and add the following patterns. This will route the output of the 'who' command to a separate window. Set the maximum lines to 100:
    • Matches regexp: ^(...) \[ (.+) \](.+)
    • Matches regexp: ^(..) players.
    • Matches regexp: ^(.) player.
