3D Mud Client

The mud client has two types of menus. One provides links to webpages (menus) and the other is mainly used for help from the mud (menucommands) eg information about a race.

HTML Menus
These are menu that provide links to webpages and are found at the top right hand corner of the mudclient like in the screenshot below:

Menus are defined in the config file under menus and provide a list of menu item captions with a corresponding URL. For example:

<MENUS>

<MENU name="Help">

<SUBMENU name="Help" url="mmorpg.shattered.org/help"/>

<SUBMENU name="Races" url="mmorpg.shattered.org/races"/>

</MENU>

</MENUS>

This will produce a menu called help with two menu items called 'Help' and 'Races'. When the player clicks on these items a the webpage will be displayed in the html box. It is also possible to imbed video this way.

Menu Commands
Menu commands are found on the bottom right corner of the mud client and can be used to provide help from the mud or any other mud command. For example:

Menu commands are specified in menucommands of the config file and is a list of menu items that have a caption and a corresponding command. In the example below there is a menu item 'find player'. When the player clicks on 'find player' the player is asked to enter a player name (@ is a hash):

<MENUCOMMANDS>

<MENUCOMMAND name="find player" command="findplayer @"/>

</MENUCOMMANDS>

Menu commands can also use rawlists that provide menu list like in the screenshot above. The rawlist is specified by the 'list' attribute. The 'command' then replaces the hash $ with the list item clicked by the user.

<MENUCOMMANDS>

<MENUCOMMAND name="help" list="help" command="help3d $"/>

</MENUCOMMANDS>
