Or a wetware failure in the bit of the system between the keyboard and the display...!

Well smearing some ointment on a fly in regard the last point: RF854 has been updated by RFC5198 , which amongst other things includes a comment on the ASCII NULL character (as part of the CR NUL) combination but the comment is equally relevant here for a bare NUL: ...

Done (I hope)!

In response to my previous post here, this is what I have found with the current stable Debian distribution (Wheezy) - it IS possible to build from the git source (the "Linux" way as Heiko puts it!) meeting all but one of the dependencies with packages from that distribution. The unmet dep...

I can confirm that it IS possible to build the current Mudlet 2.1 with the current Debian STABLE GNU/Linux distribution (7.1 = "Wheezy") on at least a 32 Bit (i386) platform. The Qt Libraries in place for this is version 4.8.2 which seem to work. I already had a code development environmen...

Actually the console (non-GUI) TinTin++ Mud Client supports scripting in a number of external languages including Ruby and Lua. However it IS a different way of doing things and if you are already used to...

Can I just check that, although a "void setDoor( QString cmd, int doorStatus )" method is declared in the TRoom.h header file, it has never been constructed - I note that there IS Lua stuff that gives the user access to doors but no C++ code? At present the QMap<QString, int> doors are pub...
