MUD (Multy User Dimension) client.

Source was imported from http://haali.su/mmc/ and modified to make possible to compile with morden Perl.

Compiling on Windows

Current sources were tested with Microsoft Visual Studio 2015 and Perl 5.26.1.

First of all you should change your Perl Makefile. You need to go to your Perl sources and go to its win32 subdirectory. There is Makefile that you have to change. I checked the following configuration:

--- Makefile.original   2017-09-07 14:19:52.000000000 -0500
+++ Makefile.modified   2017-10-26 20:13:03.992252900 -0500

Now you are ready to build your own Perl. Just open "Developer Command Prompt for VS2015" and type nmake. When everything is built type nmake install. I don't suggest you to perform any testing as I cannot tell you what you should do in case of this testing is failed.

Also you need to build ZLib. But it seems to me easy enough to don't mention it. I used ZLib 1.2.8. You can take it here: ZLib on GitHub.

Then build mmc as usual using CMake. After all, you should copy few files from your Perl installation to the folder with built mmc executable file:

• %PERL_DIR%\bin\perl526.dll -> %MMC_DIR%
• %PERL_DIR%\lib\auto\Hash -> %MMC_DIR%\lib\perl\auto\
• %PERL_DIR%\lib\auto\List -> %MMC_DIR%\lib\perl\auto\

Additional features

MSDP support

Sample scripts to be put into mmc.ini to turn on MSDP support on your client:

$MSDP_OPT = "\x45";

$MSDP_VAR = "\x1";
$MSDP_VAL = "\x2";

$TELNET_IAC = "\xff";
$TELNET_SB = "\xfa";
$TELNET_SE = "\xf0";

sub MSDP_Init
{
	msg("Initializing MSDP.");
	MUD::sendr("$TELNET_IAC$TELNET_SB$MSDP_OPT$MSDP_VAR" . "REPORT$MSDP_VAL" . "ROOM$TELNET_IAC$TELNET_SE");
}

sub MSDP_Data($)
{
	my $s = unpack "H*", shift;
	$s =~ s/(..)/ 0x\1/g;
	msg("Got MSDP data: $s");
}

MUD::register_telopt_handler(\&MSDP_Init, \&MSDP_Data, 0x45, "MSDP");

This script turns on MSDP protocol if server supports it and requests reporing ROOM variable. However, it shows response just as a hex dump right in your main mmc window. Probably later it will be turned into a better shape but for now you should do it yourself.
