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

Well surely that would depend on the MUD in question?

Most 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.

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
