# MUDKIP_Mud2



## Multi User Dungeon Kool Informational Package (for playing MUD2 with Mudlet)



**MUDKIP** is a plucky little [Mudlet](https://www.mudlet.org) package I bodged together, which adds some Kool Informational Panels that might be of use whilst one is playing *MUD2*.



It adds some gauges at the bottom to show your current stamina and magic (assuming you have any magic) at a glance, and adds a status bar across the top with the raw stats on them (along with afflictions, the dreamword, current points, etc.)



This is a plugin for Mudlet, *not a standalone MUD client!*

Please ensure you have Mudlet installed and are using Mudlet.



And, again, this is *only intended to be used for MUD2!*

This is very unlikely to work on any other MUD, so don't try it.



also yes, we have auto-updates (very nice)

## Installation and Uninstallation



### Installation



Open your MUD2 profile in mudlet and enter the following command:



`lua installPackage("https://github.com/11BelowStudio/MUDKIP_Mud2/releases/latest/download/MUDKIP_Mud2.mpackage")`



### Uninstallation



Open your MUD2 profile in mudlet and enter this command:



`lua uninstallPackage("MUDKIP_Mud2")`



(or just use mudlet's package manager menu thing to uninstall it)



## Usage



The main thing *MUDKIP* does is add the status indicators mentioned above, showing:



* Your stats (stamina, magic, strength, dexterity, points)

* Current status afflictions (if any)

* The weather

* Time until the next reset

* Most recent dreamword (if known)



The only automation it currently offers is sending a `fes` every so often whilst in-game (to update the stats), and an alias for saying the dreamword (if known)



**MUDKIP** unfortunately does *not* offer those bells and whistles like speedwalking, fancy maps, re-fighting, etc.



### Aliases



* **automatic dreamword** `dword`

  * If the dreamword is known, this will send a `say ` command to the game.

    * If the dreamword is not known, MUDKIP will leave a message

    telling you that it doesn't know what the dreamword is.

  * `dwo` and `dwor` are also aliases for this.

  * There's an uppercase variant which says the dreamword in uppercase instead.

* **fixing emotes**

  * Tired of accidentally sending `laughs`,`smiles`,`waves` etc

    and then having the MUD2 parser complain about it?

  * *MUDKIP_Mud2* will correct them to `laugh`, `smile`, `wave` etc, allowing you to perform those actions in peace.

  * Many other verbs along these lines have also been fixed.



### API



// TODO



* Everything's contained within the global `MUDKIP_Mud2` table.

* The stats etc with the current state of your persona are

  in the `MUDKIP_Mud2.stats` table.

* Misc utils are in `MUDKIP_Mud2.utils`.

* UI stuff is held in `MUDKIP_Mud2.ui`

* Auto-update stuff is held in `MUDKIP_Mud2.updates`

* Stuff related to the enhanced `map` command output is in `MUDKIP_Mud2.map`



## Final thoughts, how to contribute, thanks, things like that



*MUDKIP* is still a bit scuffed, and some of the implementation details could use a bit of cleaning up.

If you do want to help out, feel free to open a PR on the `develop` branch.



This package was built using [muddler](https://github.com/demonnic/muddler), in case you were wondering.

Consider taking a look at the documentation of muddler if you wish to contribute to the development of *MUDKIP*.



## CHANGELOG



* **1.3.6** (`10/10/2024`)

  * Changed the blanked-out line placeholder to be something that MUD2 genuinely cannot comprehend (I think) but hopefully won't accidentally cause mishaps to happen

  * (theoretically) added support for being invisible



See [CHANGELOG.md](https://github.com/11BelowStudio/MUDKIP_Mud2/blob/main/CHANGELOG.md) for the full changelog.



## TODO



* see what people want I guess

* get the auto-update to check the tag on the latest release on git or something like that instead of the release version.txt(?)
