  • MSDP GUI v1.0
    [ coming very soon ]
    
    • Creates a GUI for The Final Challenge
      
    • Features: Know exactly how many ticks every spell and any affected by spells last. See your equipment stats totaled up. Graphical Minimap. See where doors are without having to look. Know when you successfully hide and sneak. Live Health/Mana/Move/Enemy bars. Use your own Avatar.
    • Installation: Extract Generic.zip into your main Mushclient folder.
      
      • Open up your world file or create a new one.
        
      • Add the plugin TFC_Msdp.xml (File/Plugins.../Add...) MUSHclient/Generic/worlds/plugins/TFC_Msdp.xml
        
      • Save the world file. (File/Save World Details)
        
      • Close the world, and reopen it. (You can do this without closing the program. Just click the tiny X in the top right corner or just go to File/Close World)
        
      • It may take a second to load, but you should now see the GUI (Graphical User Interface)
        
      • Since it resizes the main game window, you will need to make sure Wrap Output is checked so text doesn't go offscreen. (Game/Wrap Output)
        
      • Now you need to adjust what column number it wraps the output at until text no longer goes offscreen. (ALT+5 or Game/Configure/Output...)
        
      • Everytime you adjust the column number, connect/disconnect to see if you've adjusted it right. Personally, I find it works best at 72, but it will be different for everyone depending on their screen resolution.
        
      • You're done!
        
    • To uninstall: Remove or disable the plugin. Save the World Details, then close the world and reopen.
    • Notes: Since their is no msdp stats installed serverside, I have created a workaround. After you log in, it will automatically check your equipment once to gather stats. Please wait to do anything until after this completes. Anytime you change your equipment or wimpy, simply check your equipment to update the stats. (eq/equip/equipment)
      
    • Version Notes: Pre-release with built in stat workaround. 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. Minimap does not work in all rooms, however, it is still useful to see where doors are in the rooms. This is a server-sided issue that cannot be fixed client-side. Some affected by spells show multiple times (ie: bless x4 / enchant weapon x2) This is also a server-sided issue. I have made the enchant weapon icon completely black for now, as transparent wouldn't work.
    • Commands: none at the moment
    • MushClient 4.52+ Recommended

Spawns

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
