Can anyone suggest a MUD client for DSL?

Through the myDSL page I had downloaded Tinyfugue but get the following errror when i try to run it:

% /usr/share/games/tf/stdlib.tf: No such file or directory
Can't read required library.

BTW, I am running this from a hd install if that would matter any.

Thanks

We have 2 available.

Tinyfugue and gmoo.

Try em both.

justin_noodle, tinyfugue does work from the menu item. When I made the tinyfugue package, I put all of the files into the /opt directory. I needed to use a -L switch on the command line to tell tinyfugue where to find its files. The following is the line in the menu item:

/opt/tinyfugue/games/tf -L/opt/tinyfugue/share/games/tf

try that and see if that help. Or start it from the menu item.

Thanks for the replies.

I had looked at gmoo which looks nice but am working out how to install it. This is all a bit over my head yet, just having come from a ms environment.

I used the -L switch given and Tinyfugue had started. Thank you :)

One last quick question on this,

How would I go about making a .link for this? Ive tried using the -L swtich string for the command in the .lnk file but no luck.

Thanks

I am assuming that you made some kind of icon already and placed it into the /home/dsl/.xtdesktop directory. This tinyfugue.lnk works, place it into the .xtdesktop directory as well:

Code Sample

table Icon
Type: Program
Caption: TinyFugue
Command: rxvt -rv -T "TinyFugue" -e /opt/tinyfugue/games/tf -L/opt/tinyfugue/share/games/tf
Icon: .xtdesktop/tinyfugue.gif
X: 300
Y: 300
end

you probably missed the rxvt, which is what brings up a window for the program to run in. You also need to hide icons and show icons under the desktop menu to see the changes you made. You can add your setup files and connections to this line as well, and make separate icons and lnks for all of your favorite MUDs.

Sweet, this did the trick. Thanks Clacker!
