JamochaMUD is an open source MUD/Muck client written in Java.
JamochaMUD offers Unicode, plug-in, and multi-language support (8 different languages) to allow a more enjoyable MUCKing/MUDding experience. It features command history, synchronized window controls, experimental SOCKS 5 support, and greatly improved ANSI colour support. It plays nice on Unix systems, supports a wide range of MU*s, and also includes emulation of some TinyFugue editor controls. JamochaMUD will use either Java 1.1 or higher versions (automatically), and includes classes to be easily reused in other Java applications. Systems running later versions of Java will have more features available in JamochaMUD.
To make things a little easier for developers, we've now made all the JamochaMUD GUI classes available as a separate jar-file. You can now include this jar-file in your own code to make use of items such as the JMSwingText and JMappedComboBox classes.
Feel free to wander over to the downloads page to grab the ready-to-use jar-file.
As of version 2.4, JamochaMUD has been awarded the SOFTPEDIA "100% FREE" AWARD.
Do you host a MUD or MUCK and like JamochaMUD? Now you can have JamochaMUD launch directly from your own web page and automatically load the MU* of your choice! For more details check out the instructions in the JamochaMUD wiki.
As of version 2.0 of JamochaMUD the spellchecking libraries have changed. JamochaMUD can now use dictionaries made available by the OpenOffice.org project, giving JamochaMUD spelling support for many different languages and "dialects". Check the wiki page for more information!
In continuing efforts to help keep JamochaMUD's documentation up-to-date, there is now a JamochaMUD Wiki! You are urged to contribute, correct, or constructively comment... it's all good!
Please note that no dictionary files are included with the download of JamochaMUD. A sample English dictionary is available from the Jazzy page... I'm not certain where to find other languages at this time. A dictionary file is simply a plain-text list of words... so in a worst-case scenario, one could always create their own.
In addition to having brand spanking new additions to the manual, JamochaMUD now offers the ability to back-up your settings to a single archive file, drag them to a different machine and / or operating system and restore them. Or heck, just clutter up floppies with them, too. It is entirely up to you!
Do you enjoy using JamochaMUD, but wish it was available in your own language instead of just boring old English?
Well, have I got a deal for you! I'm looking for people to do translations of JamochaMUD and it is no more difficult than editing a text file. Yup, that's right, you don't even need a fancy-schmancy word processor or anything. Click here, if you'd like more details!
