Emulation

This Preferences page contains options that control how zMUD emulated various terminal types or protocols. Most of these preferences are local to the specific character.

ANSI Color (local)

Controls whether ANSI color codes are recognized from the MUD. Default is on.

VT102 emulation (local)

Controls whether VT102 terminal codes are recognized from the MUD. Default is on.

MrTerm emulation (local)

Controls whether shortened VT102 codes as used by the MrTerm (Mortal Realms terminal) program are recognized. Default is off.

MCP Emulation (local)

Determines whether Mud Client Protocol commands are recognized from the MUD. Default is on.

Visit zMud MCP Implementation page online.

Character mode (local)

Controls whether individual characters are immediately sent to the MUD or whether entire lines are set (the default). In Character mode, if the cursor is placed within the MUD output window instead of the command line characters are immediately sent. This mode is used for running some character editors such as emacs or vi from zMUD and more strictly emulates a normal telnet client.

Local echo (local)

Controls whether keys and commands are locally echoed to the screen when in Character mode. Default is off.

Emulate control codes (local)

Controls whether any control codes are recognized by zmud or whether they are displayed on the screen. Default is on (recognize control codes). This option is normally used for debugging purposes.

Telnet options (local)

Controls whether telnet options are recognized from the MUD. Telnet options are used to communicate the terminal type and screen size to the MUD but some MUDs do not follow the strict telnet protocol and do not support this feature. Default is on.

MXP/HTML (local)

Determines whether MXP commands are recognized from the MUD. Default is on.

This must be active to use the #MXP command, and MXP strings in other commands.

Visit the zMud MXP Specification page online.

MUD Compression (local)

Controls whether Mud Client Compression Protocol (MCCP) is recognized from the MUD. Default is on.

Visit the zMud MCCP Specification page online.

Send window resize NAWS (local)

Controls whether zMud sends a NAWS message to the mud to inform of changes in output window size. Default is on.

Use GA/EOR for prompt (local)

Controls whether zMud interprets the Go Ahead/End Of Record telnet options to indicate the end of a prompt. When active zMud will display the next text received from the mud on a newline if the mud forgets to send a newline. Default is on.

Strict Telnet (local)

Controls the fashion in which zMud recognizes telnet options negotiation. Not all muds negotiate correctly. Those that don't will need this option turned off. Default is on.

Default Telnet terminal type (local)

Controls the default terminal type sent to the MUD in response to a Terminal Type telnet option request. Default is "zmud".
