Net :: Mccp compression in Tinyfugue?

I wondered if the mccp compression flag had been enabled for the MyDsl Tinyfugue build.

Many muds like clients with mccp compression as it can cut the client's bandwidth by 1/4, (and some frequently give bonuses for using it ;-)).

It doesn't look like its enabled, but I may be configuring it wrong.

I took it from the debian build so I don't know if that flag was enabled or not. I was able to issue a /set mccp=on command, but I don't know how to check to see if it's really working or not.

I have /set mccp=on in my .tfrc file, and the mud is telling me mccp is not on for the client.

The MyDSL package is Tinyfugue 4, which if memory serves me correctly, required a patch to compile with mccp. I believe mccp is now included in Tinyfugue 5 out of the box. However, I think Tinyfugue 5 is still in the Debian unstable tree.

Could this be a matter of Debian not including the patch, or not compliling with the flag in the stabe tree?

I used apt get to get the version 5 tf from unstable, but it still didn't seem to handle mccp compression. All of the connections I made show up as a capital C in the output from /listsockets.

I tried compiling it myself but that also didn't work.

What mud are you tring to connect to? I read the version 1 of mccp isn't suported by tf, only mccp version 2.

I'm playing the Aardwolf mud (aardmud.org or telnet aardmud.org 4000). On this mud if you type "compress" once logged in, it will tell you if MCCP is on or not.

The admins on the mud confirm TF 4 did not support compression without a third-party patch. So it would appear the Debian TF 4 package was built without the patch.

I did compile and install the new TF 5 beta on my home system before going on holiday (where I'm using DSL :-)), though I didn't verify if MCCP was working at that time. I should be able to confirm this when I'm back at home in January.

Once I confirm this, I'll try to post a message for the TF maintainer at Debian, or find how they are compiling TF there.
