It has always been our goal to make a client that will give you the most power possible when mudding.
Power is never gained easily and like in the real world *cough* mud you will see that the same applies.
Few things come very easily and you will need to work to get what you want, yeah yeah... bla bla... anyways,
what i'm trying to say is, you need to take your time to learn how to use MonkeyTerm if you want to take
full advantage of its powers. Much of the efford you put into it can pay off later as the time spend learning
VBScript and Regular Expressions can be used later in your real life since neither of them are MonkeyTerm
standarts and both are good technologies to use in software development.
VBScript is very powerfull and with it, you can create almost anything you'd want - did i say almost?
Well i ment everything ofcourse, except for love and money - well perhaps money :) and i guess if you get
really good at it, people will say you love it too. Ok enough rambling.
MonkeyTerm is a good core program that can fire events, parse your Regular Expressions or GLOB's and execute your
VBScripts. This leaves you with the task of writing the patterns and scripts. With the scripts you can perform
any Windows task but far from everyone can write VBScript. That is where you might say MonkeyTerm falls short, but
if you want the computer to do something for you, you will need to tell it one way or the other, we just think
that VBScript is an easy and comfortable way of doing so. If you have no plans of ever learning VBScript then
don't worry, we will try to write some of the scripts we think you might want to use. Also we hope that, when
MonkeyTerm becomes a bit more common, that some people will share their scripts with us by emailing them to
us, the creators of MonkeyTerm so we can put them up for download on this page.
If VBScript can do anything, why isn't MonkeyTerm done yet? Well, we could make this client commandline only, but
even we like a nice userinterface and some easy to use objects. Some cool things might be very hard and tedious
to write in VBScript and some of those things will be hardcoded into MonkeyTerm.
