πŸ“‹ Client Update β€” What's New New β–Έ

πŸ‘€ Profile Sync β€” take your setup everywhere

  • Sign in with your ckmud.kaigin.com website account from the new Profile button (top bar on desktop, Tools drawer on Android).
  • Push your aliases, triggers, timers, variables, custom channels, themes, settings, and plugin files to your profile. Pull them onto any other device β€” switch between phone and PC and keep everything.
  • You choose what transfers with simple checkboxes, and nothing ever syncs unless you press the button yourself.
  • Your character passwords are never uploaded. You can see and remove connected devices on the website under your profile.

Important: The new website is under construction β€” it is a revamp of the old one, and some things are still actively being built. Your profile will be exported at launch of the live website, and backend connectors will point to the new database when everything is ready. You do not have to participate if you don't want to.

🎨 Themes

  • Android now has all the desktop themes β€” Cyberpunk, Green & Amber VT100, Midnight Blue, Synthwave '84, Matrix Rain, Solarized, Dragon Ball, and the classic gold look. The whole app recolors: terminal, buttons, settings, tools drawer, script editor.
  • Themes are per character β€” each of your characters can have their own look, and it switches automatically when you change sessions.
  • Build your own theme (new, both platforms): pick ✦ Create / edit custom theme in the theme list. Four color wheels and three sliders (brightness, vibrance, glow) β€” watch the whole client change in real time as you drag. Export your theme as a small file and share it β€” it looks identical on phone and desktop.

πŸ“¦ Mudlet Package Import

  • Importing a Mudlet .mpackage now just works β€” on desktop and Android (new "Import from Mudlet…" button in Plugins).
  • Imported packages load in SAFE mode: any bots inside can't send a single command until you arm them. Type cksafe to see and flip the switches.
  • New commands: ckaliases and cktriggers show you everything an imported package added.
  • Imported packages now survive app updates on Android (they used to disappear β€” sorry about that).

⚑ Performance β€” the freezes are dead

  • Found and fixed the bugs that froze the client during heavy combat spam, on the login screen, and after imports. The client stays responsive no matter how hard the MUD is blasting text.
  • Typing during combat spam no longer lags or locks up.

πŸ–₯ Desktop

  • New downloads come as a single zip: unzip anywhere and play β€” includes a Player Guide, the full User Guide, a Scripting Reference, and a ready-made plugins folder.

πŸ“Œ Worth knowing

  • Scripts you build in the Tools drawer live in your settings, not as files β€” use Export (or the new Profile Sync) to back them up or move them to another device.
  • If you use the CK package: re-import the .mpackage once on this version to pick up all the fixes.

Web Client Recommended

No install β€” play instantly

Play directly in your browser on desktop or mobile. Triggers, aliases, timers, and real-time MSDP vitals built in.

Details

Fully responsive design works seamlessly on desktop and mobile devices. Powerful automation: triggers auto-execute commands on text patterns, aliases create shortcuts for complex commands, and timers schedule recurring or one-shot actions. Built-in MSDP support provides real-time character stats, vitals, and room info.

Save multiple characters on your device and pick from a character-select screen when you connect β€” each character auto-logs in, and your triggers, aliases, and timers are kept separately per character. Manage them anytime from the Characters button.

Download standalone saves a single self-contained file you can open straight from your computer (no website needed) β€” it connects to the live game over a secure connection. Re-download anytime to get the latest version.

Settings are saved to your browser and device only β€” use the Profile Sync in the Android/Desktop apps to carry your setup across devices.

Mudlet Scripts Community

For the Mudlet client

Feature-rich community-built scripts for Mudlet β€” improved mapping, automated commands, UI enhancements, and years of community development.

Details

These scripts are maintained and developed by the community. CKMud staff do not actively support or develop these tools. The CKMud Android and Desktop clients can also import Mudlet .mpackage files directly β€” see the patch notes above.
