modules

Unix下的MUD客户端程序

Following modules accompany the standard mcl distribution. Modules marked
with * are useful enough so they start out inside the auto/ or sys/ directory.
Others will be found in the contrib/ directory.

Note that with the advent of Python support, some of the modules are Perl
only.

profanity       Profanity filter. Replaces nasty words from the MUD (as well
                those YOU type in!) with *. Includes only a small number
                of profanities per default. [ERW]

highlight      *Simple highlighting. Use highlight to list, highlight <color>
                <string> to add a highlight. highlight followed by a number
                will list numbers and highlights.
                Color names are white,blue,green,red,yellow,black,cyan,magenta.
                You can specify bold_ in front to make it bold. You can specify
                _ followed by another color to change background (e.g.
                white_blue is white text on blue background, bold_green_red is
                bold green on red background). [ERW]

reconnect       Automatically reconnect to the MUD if you lose link. This
                function is quelled for 30 seconds after you type quit. If
                you need to be able to quit the MUD with any other command,
                you must edit the reconnect.pl file. This module has some
                problems... [ERW]

spellcheck      Runs your output through ispell and picks the best words for
                misspelled ones. Also capitalizes sentences (and "I") and ends
                them with a . if you don't.

                To add a word to the dictionary, use "addword <word>". To
                spellcheck some words, use "spellcheck <words>".

                To escape some output from the spellchecker, put `` around it.

                Inside the file spellcheck.pl you will find a list of
                communication channels this works for; you can add or
                remove new ones. [ERW, OJ]

mudftp         *Edit strings from the mud locally, if it supports mudftp.
                Reads a standard ~/.mudftp file - the minimum you need in here
                is a definition for the editor to run locally, such as:

                    editor open -w -s -- fte %

                % is replaced by the filename to edit.

                Autologin is supported if the mud server also supports it.
                If autologin is not supported, you will also need to add to
                .mudftp the login details for each mud:

                    mud mudname host mudftpport username password

                Interoperable with the standalone mudftp client's config                
                files. [OJ]


completion     *Performs tab completion. Use complete to list completions
                then complete followed by a long word that you want completed.
                Then, pressing tab after having typed a few letters of
                that word will cycle through all the words you have marked
                for completion that start with those characters. Pressing
                backspace after just completing a word deletes the whole
                thing. [ERW]
                 
                NEW! Now with autocompletion that will add to completion
                list based on input from the MUD. Type autocomplete help
                for more info [IVN]

gag            *Gagging, i.e. completely erasing a line of input containing
                certain words. Use gag to view, gag <string> to gag that
                string (it's actually a regular expression) and gag <number>
                to remove a certain gag. The gag module keeps a count of how
                many times each gag has triggered.

ccancel         Cancel compression. This tiny module sends
                "compress\ncompress\n" to the MUD which turns off then turns
                on compression. This is useful when playing on a MUD that
                supports compression, since otherwise the compression buffers
                would be out of sync when reconnecting using the "copyover"
                client feature. [ERW]

repeat          This will repeat the command you last entered when you press
                enter on an empty line. [ERW]

prompt          Sample scripts that shows some stats from the prompt in
                a gauge in a window. [ERW]

dumpprompt      Displaying a prompt even if your MUD does not support
                GA/EOR. [ERW]

bot		Example of a bot that cast spells. [PAT]

DynaComplete    Similar to completion, but you do not manually add things to
                the completions list: everything you type is added. Python only.
                [JMP]

log             Log things from the mud into .mcl/logs/sessionname/day.gz [ERW]

vars            User-level variables. By using #set name value you set a variable
                which can be used on the command line by using $name. For example:
                #set target Bob followed by kill $target would send "kill bob".

		You can also use $(varname) in case you want to put the variable
                next to some other text.

triggers        Alternative trigger system, where individual triggers can be
                disabled [IVN]
