Im curious why you would want a telnet server that would allow localhost connections anyways.. wouldnt the whole point of running the server to be remote usage?

No, the whole point of the server is that your /macro this and /macro that don't show up in your chat log, and GMs can't snoop it.

At least for me, that's the point.

I highlyu doubt that a gm can view your logs unless you are gimp enough to send them it heh..

What i'd like to see is a custom MQ Telnet Front-End, something that is based on the EQ interface so it has buttons that are assigned to commands such as /sit and such, would make it easier to do things via telnet than having to type them all the time.

I tried to play via a telnet session but gave up after 5 hours of trying to reach a bank but having trouble getting items out... it has potential but I think the telnet server still needs quite a bit of polishing, incidentally, the bank slots work in a rather weird way, I don't think this is an issue with the telnet server, I just noticed it while using it because I couldn't use my mouse...

Using the $pack(bank,inv,0) and $item(bank,inv,0,1) commands (excuse the syntax of those commands, their probably wrong, I forget the exact options), the bank slots don't relate properly.

0 = 0
1 = 4
2 = 1
3 = 5
4 = 2
5 = 6
6 = 3
7 = 7

That above table works as follows, if you use a command such as mouseto bank 0 - 7, then right click to open that pack, then verify which pack is open by using the $pack(bank,inv,0,open) command on every backpack, then the above table shows which mouseto slot relates to which $pack number, I have always thought the bank slots went down such as..

1 5
2 6
3 7
4 8

I may be wrong but I couldn't find a pattern in the way MQ handles the bank vault, gone off topic really.

Thanks

Salutations,
thats a great idea, I think I'm going to write one... perhaps later this week... I'm cooking all day today and tomorrow.

0 1
2 3

Here are some suggestions for the telnet server. Now, keep in mind I'm a UNIX geek so not sure if these open source libaries are available on the winblowz side or not.

Command line editting ala GNU readline type support. i.e. Up moves back through command history., etc.

Curses type display. Which would allow multiple sections of the screen. I'd love to see one for EQ messages, one for MQ messages and one for command entering.

Just some ideas..
