Topic: FEATURES This mud incorporates many features normally found in clients directly into the mud. The advantage of having them in the mud is that it saves bandwidth. The less data traveling between the mud and the player, the better. Some features that we include are aliases, command stacking, automatic triggers, and advanced wimpy options. A player can alias a long command into a short abreviation. For example, alias rr to be recite recall. This saves the player time (and probably a few deaths.) Having it in the mud, means that less data is being sent across the net. A player can set an option to allow the stacking of multiple commands on a single line. This will help a player who is having lag and would not want to execute a command unless the player can immediately execute the next commands. A player can set automatic triggers, like autoloot, autogold, and autosplit. The advantage here is that no messages at all have to be sent across the net. Finally, a player can set some advanced wimpy commands. A player can set up to 5 commands to be executed when his or her hit points fall into a given range. For example, a player can specify to cast heal when below 500 hp, quaff a potion when below 400, recite recall at 300, and flee at 200. The great thing about this solution is that it works in both lag and with link loss. Most player deaths occur, because they could not get the right commands to the mud in time.
