Session Configuration

Usually one wants to keep his/her aliases, variables, etc. permanently. Therefor for each session a file exists, which will be loaded on session startup. It contains exactly the input, you would input into the input entry while mudding: e.g.
#alias ga "get all"
For more commands, please refer to the SMM commands section.

SMM++ has its own editor for editing the session configuration and other script files. It is described in the section Scriptfile Editor.


Color Configuration

  1. Menubar -> 'Configuration' -> 'Configure Colors'.
  2. The colormanager will pop up. Choose the color you want to change (click on the colored button).
  3. A color chooser will popup. Adjust the color to what you want to use with the sliders or enter the name of the color (red, blue, peach, etc) in the entry, which displays the name or value of the color (if you do so, dont forget to press <Return> in the entry to tell the chooser to take this color).
  4. Accept your changes.
  5. Adjust another color, if you want to.



Fonts Configuration

  1. From the 'Configuration' menu choose 'Font Configuration'.
  2. From the Font Selector (left side) choose the font you want to change. It will be loaded into the font configurer on the right side.
  3. Adjust the font parameters in the font configurer.
    All installed fonts on your system can be used. But please check, if all important characters can be displayed with the choosen font: look at the text area in the bottom region.
    Usually it is better to choose fixed (width) fonts for the MUD text. Those may be: Courier or Fixed e.g..
  4. Accept your changes.
  5. Adjust other fonts too, if you want.
If you are done, close the window.


History Lines

You can adjust
  1. From the 'Configuration' menu choose 'History Lines'.
  2. Set the number of lines as you wish.
  3. You can 'cancel your actions, or accept (and save them).



Mouse Buttons

SMM is best (well) played with a 3 button mouse, because you have to invoke 3 different but important actions while mapping:
  1. use an exit or
  2. create a standart exit or
  3. customize an exit. (least often invoked)
Formerly (SMM V2 and earlier) these action were invoked by left-, middle- and right-mouse button. For SMM++ I chose a solution, which was compatible with a 2 button mouse. But I never liked this solution, as middle- and right-mouse button had to change their meaning (I just got used to the old way of doing things;)),... moreover: extending this solution to a 1- button mouse would have been very ugly in the code. So much to history,.. now you can adjust the invocation of mouse button events, as you like it.

The standart actions are:

If you have a 3 button mouse, you can change the standart configuration, if you dont like it,..
  1. From the 'Configuration' menu choose 'Mouse Buttons'.
  2. Choose the modifier/mouse button configuration you like.
  3. You can 'cancel your actions, or accept (and save them).
