Summary/Description

This package adds GMCP powered status bars and a GMCP powered separate map window to the MUDlet client. This way you can keep an eye on your status and your location without having to read between the lines. No longer will your combat monitor clutter up your entire screen.

Configuration can be done almost entirely by changing the global variable names in the scripts. Take your time to read the comments so you know what you're changing. Requires GMCP enabled in Mudlet settings. Sets up GMCP session settings for client upon login to the DiscWorld.

Features

Five status bars on the right hand side
HP, GP, XP, XP/hour, Burden.
Separate map
Automatic GMCP handshake with Disworld MUD server upon login.
Configurable top or bottom alignment.
Map automatically snaps to status bars, can be disabled if desired.
Status bars update on every command you send and when the MUD sends a status update.
Map updates on location change, look, glance.
Disable XP/hour bar if you don't like it.
Customisable Style

Pit Veridicus: Helped by reporting server-side GMCP status of the connection. Explaining that Mudlet doesn't support ANSI sequences in strings sent over GMCP and right away implemented a fix that escapes ANSI sequences if the GMCP client reports it is "mudlet". Without this, the coloured map would not have been possible.

Demmonic: Helped explain the documentation of Mudled and Geyser and why the Wiki is more up to date than the LuaDoc.
