Who is responsible for this client?> The Aardwolf client is the end result of contributions from many people over the years.

Right click in the window, click 'World Configuration' and in the 'Appearance' section of the Configuration menu, click 'Output'.

To disable a plugin, option the 'file' menu. Within the file menu, use the 'plugins' option. You can drag the bottom right of the plugin window to increase the size and readability.

New plugins are made available from time to time, which can be added to the client to provide some new functionality in the game. For example, at the time of writing, spellup (buffs) tracking, campaign tracking, and a note reading plugin similar to the help plugin are planned. When you download a plugin from the Aardwolf web site, it will be in the form of a small executable (.exe) that places the plugin XML file and any other supporting files (helper plugins, world files, etc) in the appropriate directories for you. You will need to have created an "Aardwolf" directory under "Worlds" and "World\Plugins". If you downloaded the standard Aardwolf client, you already have these. To install the plugin within Mushclient itself, use ALT+F to access the "File" menu, then select "plugins". You can drag the bottom right of the plugin window to increase the size and readability. Click "add" from within the plugins menu then the "Aardwolf" directory within your plugins folder. Finally, click on the name of the plugin you are installing. At the plugin menu, make sure the plugin is enabled - highlight it and click "Enable" if not. it More detailed plugin help with screenshots What to do on a runtime error? Runtime errors generally occur when a plugin has received some data from the MUD that it has not recognized. These errors are harmless except for the inconvenience they cause. Plugins that cause runtime errors will be disabled by default to prevent any further errors. To re-enable a plugin that was disabled due to a runtime error, use ALT+F to access the "File" menu then select "plugins". You can drag the bottom right of the plugin window to increase the size and readability. Highlight the plugin that reported the error and click "enable". If the error occurs regularly when re-enabled, the plugin will need to be fixed. contact us at wolf@aardwolf.com, including as much detail about what you were doing when the error occured and, if possible, screenshots. More detailed runtime error help with screenshots Mushclient works on Linux using WINE. A full discussion on how to use Mushclient with Linux is available on the Mushclient home page: Runing Mushclient under Wine. Mushclient works on the Mac under Wine or using a virtual machine. More information on installing under Wine can be found on the: Aardwolf Client Mac-Linux-BSD help page Resource file error on non-English systems? Taken from the Mushclient release notes: Message about "Failed to load resources file: When starting Mushclient, some users are reporting getting a message like:
This will be because you have customized the "locale" of MUSHclient to other than EN (English). See the How to localize MUSHclient messages into other languages forum posting for more details about localization. To fix this, find the directory you installed MUSHclient into (eg. "C:\Program Files\MUSHclient\") and then locate the subdirectory "locale". In that you will find a file en.dll. Copy or rename that file to match the missing file in the message (eg. copy en.dll to de.dll). Alternative suggestion: Go into the File menu -> Global Preferences -> General, and change the field "Locale code" back to "EN" (English) and then it should look for EN.DLL next time. |
