Turrican's TWPMUD2 Client

The current version of Turrican's TWPMUD2 client can be found on this page. It's a compact client which will both run in a DOS window and full-screen. It resembles the F2 and F3 modes of the good old Wireplay client but also has an improved F2 mode, "F4", and other new features.

A new version is currently being worked on, so look back here for the latest release.

Quick instructions:

  1. A .zip file of the client is available at the link below. You will need to make sure you can unzip files before starting.
  2. Once downloaded, save the contents of the zip file somewhere on your hard disk.
  3. You should now have 4 files in this directory. To start playing MUD, double-click on the MUDII batch file. (This may appear as MUDII or MUDII.bat, depending on your configuration.)
  4. The client can be switched to and from full-screen mode with ALT-ENTER.
  5. If you'd like to configure the client, you'll need to edit the MUDII.bat file. I suggest using notepad.


Configuration Options:

OptionEffect of the option
-f2 "F2" mode - much like the F2 mode of the old Wireplay client - including an input line and borders.
-f3 "F3" mode - much like the F3 mode of the old Wireplay client - NO input line and NO borders ... the power-interface!
-f4 "F4" mode - very similar to F2, but with a simpler layout to allow more text to be displayed.
-r<num> The client window should have <num> rows. If you're interested in playing full-screen instead of in a window, 25, 43 and 50 are the only values that are likely to work here.
-c<num> The client window should have <num> columns. If you're interested in playing full-screen instead of in a window, this must be 80.
-b Enable beeps!
-l<file> Log your session to <file>.
