Does anybody happen to know, how to code a script that pulls 'whos playing' from within a MUD and prints it into a web page? I've been trying for a week and can't find anything about it! Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Jump to PostMost MUDs do it by binding a port so whenever someone connects to the port it returns the who list like http://www.example.com:4545 I've seen in done with SMAUG codebases so searching the snippets on the SmaugFUSS or AFKMud repositories will most likely turn up results or guides.

Well surely that would depend on the MUD in question?

Yea. I got as far as script pulling a snippet from the mud itself..cant not sure how to implement it. I will have to give the snippet to the mud coder to add. It's built in C.. but i have no idea what the snippet should be or how to implement in the site. the codebase for the MUD is Diku/Envy/Merc mix
