Will ATCP be introduced into Mudlet in the future? It may be on a list somewhere that I'm not looking at I suppose. I find it fairly useful when playing IRE muds.
ATCP is a protocol used in IRE muds to send certain data directly to the client. This is mainly used in the Flash/Java clients of the respective muds, which use it to receive things like current and maximum health/mana, your room exits etc., which can then be displayed with those neat gauges. Using this would just make it simpler to retrieve certain data from the mud - but I can see how this is not a priority, since it's a very specific protocol only used in IRE muds.

E.g. it's used to send your current/maximum health/mana and your room exits to those clients, which can then be displayed neatly as gauges etc. It's just a convenient way of grabbing certain data, but I can see how it's not a priority here, since it's strictly an IRE thing.
Any more word on this? This would be an incredible boost for nice gauges and the like and I would be highly disappointed if something so basic wasn't eventually included!
