So the server just sends everything to the client, even if the client doesn't care about it?

I was wondering how the server was supposed to know which variables to send, I guess that explains it. I could see this becoming a problem as more variables are added, but at least the Mudlet implementation seems to be flexible enough to handle my workaround.

Not quite, during the negotiations the client asks which data sources to enable. For Mudlet, it's currently hardcoded to all popular IRE ones (but this will need to change soon to be scriptable/configurable, for one we're missing one option already...)

ATCP events definitely work fine - at least there are no known issues whatsoever. As your MUD is going to be included on our recommended MUD list this issue should be fixed. Please send me your script and a test account on your server by email.

I don't mean Mudlet doesn't work, I mean I'm struggling to understand Mudlet scripting, and therefore can't provide a visible demo as proof of concept - but it should now be usable for someone who knows what they're doing.

* when we get a reliable way to activate it. I have the small framework done, but activating is still tricky unfortunately (it doesn't go through after some commands always :| ).

Alright, done. With the new changes and some experimentation, it works.

Also added a sample handler for working on the data, for now it just echos it.
