Tintin HOWTO

This howto describes howto get going with Tintin++, the linux command line mud client. This client supports macro's etc.

First off you create a file mud.tin or run.tin or whatever. The following is the config as it works for me, my keypad is macro'd to move aroound when numlock is off. These bindings may differ for you, but i hope they work for everyone.

#CONFIG           {AUTO TAB}  {5000}
#CONFIG           {BUFFER SIZE}  {20000}
#CONFIG           {COMMAND COLOR}  {<078>}
#CONFIG           {COMMAND ECHO}  {ON}
#CONFIG           {CONNECT RETRY}  {15}
#CONFIG           {HISTORY SIZE}  {1000}
#CONFIG           {LOG}  {RAW}
#CONFIG           {PACKET PATCH}  {0.00}
#CONFIG           {REPEAT CHAR}  {!}
#CONFIG           {REPEAT ENTER}  {OFF}
#CONFIG           {SCROLL LOCK}  {ON}
#CONFIG           {SPEEDWALK}  {OFF}
#CONFIG           {TINTIN CHAR}  {#}
#CONFIG           {VERBATIM}  {OFF}
#CONFIG           {VERBATIM CHAR}  {\}
#CONFIG           {VERBOSE}  {OFF}
#CONFIG           {WORDWRAP}  {ON}
#MACRO {\eOp}
{
go down
}
#MACRO {\eOP}
{
#session zombie radio.gshellz.org 9997;
myuser;
mypassword
}
#MACRO {\eOq}
{
go southwest
}
#MACRO {\eOr}
{
go south
}
#MACRO {\eOs} 
{
go southeast
}
#MACRO {\eOt}
{
go west
} 
#MACRO {\eOu}
{
go up
}
#MACRO {\eOv}
{
go east
}
#MACRO {\eOw}
{
go northwest
}
#MACRO {\eOx}
{
go north
}
#MACRO {\eOy}
{
go northeast
}
#PATHDIR          {d}  {u}  {32}
#PATHDIR          {e}  {w}  {2}
#PATHDIR          {n}  {s}  {1}
#PATHDIR          {ne}  {sw}  {3}
#PATHDIR          {nw}  {se}  {9}
#PATHDIR          {s}  {n}  {4}
#PATHDIR          {se}  {nw}  {6}
#PATHDIR          {sw}  {ne}  {12}
#PATHDIR          {u}  {d}  {16}
#PATHDIR          {w}  {e}  {8}

Now run: tt++ mud.tin And press F1 to connect.

If any of these keybinds are invalid, you can change em like:

#macro {press key} { go northwest }

The value you see when you press the key you can also use to manually edit the .tin file.
