MXP (MUD EXTENSION PROTOCOL)

Description

Many popular clients support the MUD eXtension Protocol (MXP for short) developed by Zuggsoft and implemented in ZMUD and CMUD clients. It is also supported (fully and partially) by other clients, such as MUSHClient.

Materia Magica supports MXP on the server side, so if your client supports it and you enable it or have it enabled, you should see a message when you connect (or enable it) that will either say: MXP 0.3 ENABLED, MXP 0.5 ENABLED, or MXP 1.0 ENABLED. The number is the version of the protocol that is enabled for you. The version will control what the game server sends you and what features are enabled.

Some of the MXP features supported by Materia Magica (these may or may not all be available to you, based on the version of the protocol your game client supports):

• MXP Sound Effects - Plays sound in-game when certain activities occur.
