Edit: See below for changelog.
The existing soundpacks/plugin packages are hard to install (due to missing/outdated links etc), or are not as good as what we've come to expect from the excellent Mush-z distribution for Alter Aeon. So I've created a soundpack for Materia Magica. Most of the plugins are developed by the player Ruthgul, with a few plugins that I wrote myself.
You can download the soundpack here
If you like it, I'd appreciate it if you mentioned me (Neurrone) as the character that referred you during character creation.
Features:
* prompt notifications, area change alerts and area music (similar to AA)
* Channel history for most things
* Sounds for the following types of triggers: getting better at skills, levelling, questing, gold and item manipulation, etc
Instructions:
1. Unzip it into a location of your choice, and launch mushclient.exe
2. Press ctrl+o to bring up the world selection dialog. Select the materia magica.mcl file in the worlds subfolder.
3. Optionally, with the world open, go to file -> global preferences. In the worlds tab, choose "add current world" to open the world automatically on startup.
This soundpack uses three plugins I created which you can use to create soundpacks for any mud: prompt helper, channel history with sound playback (slightly modified version of an existing plugin) and soundpack manager. These plugins all require that lua_audio is installed to work. I'll probably have a separate announcement for them at some point, but the built-in documentation should be all you need to create your own soundpacks.
Online documentation for Ruthgul's plugins (inside the mm subdirectory of the plugins folder) can be found
here
In particular, learning how to use the mapper and speedwalk manager plugins, both of which are preinstalled, will make travel much, much easier.
Feel free to post here if you have any trouble getting it working, or ping me (Neurrone) in-game.
Changes (09/28/2017)
* Changed the included map database to be the one that has most areas mapped. If you prefer doing your own explorations, rename the "mm_mapper wilderness only" file to "mm_mapper.db".
* Added area music for tower of riga and aroxa
