FAQ


Why isnt there a command history/recall feature

There is. There pretty much always has been, its available on the edit menu, the toolbar and via short cut keys.


Where can I find more dictionaries, Im not american

Many of us are not american, see the dictionary download page for more dictionaries and for a couple of auto correct dictionaries (british and american, sorry the company who made the spell checker hasn't made ones for the other languages)

Why is there no option to turn off spell checking

There is. When you have a red underlined word, you can right click on it and bring up a list of words, at the bottom is the options, in there you can turn it off, but thats rather final. Why not just add the words you want? (theres an add option on that list too)


Can I connect using SSL?

Muckclient pre 3.01 or earlier : Fuzzball 6 sees the introduction of using SSL to connect to the game, keeping everything about your activity over the internet secure. Not all games offer this facility, however, should you find one which does, despite earlier versions of MuckClient not currently supporting SSL directly, you can indeed make it work. Read here about using SSL.

MuckClient 3.10 + : Direct support built in.

How do I edit/add sessions?

Well, the helpfile explains it far better than I will here.

Go back into the options area, and look at the sessions, click the line you want to change, and the boxes on the right will be filled out with that information for you. You can now change colours and stuff too per session in version 3, as long as you dont press cancel to get out of the option box, your changes will be saved. To add them use the add button, to delete them use the delete button.....

How do I know if there is a newer version?

Press F11. This will tell you if there is a new version and ask you if you want to download it. You will be asked where you want to save the file to, remember its location. On completion, close down MuckClient and then run the downloaded file. Versions 2.5x onwards are more intellegent and will do this latter part for you.

Why does MC hang when you run it in vista?

The spell checker component opens your personal dictionary in the local directory for muckclient, which happens to be the program diretory, and is seen as a "bad thing" by vista. There are plans to change it, however, until then, right click on muckclient, and do "Run as Administrator" this will then allow it to work. You also need the .hlp viewer for vista installed.
