GMCP

GMCP is now supported! 

LegendMUD supports the Generic Mud Communication Protocol, or GMCP, to pass
easily parsable information to your mudclient. GMCP gives clients and servers
the ability to send messages that are invisible to the player. This allows for
easy access to certain data in scripts without the use of cumbersome or
unreliable triggers.

While GMCP provides a quality of life improvement for players writing scripts,
it will not provide players with any distinct advantage. Any information
provided through GMCP will have the same precision and visibility as through
the normal interface.

At the time of writing, the following clients support GMCP:

 - CMUD v3.22 and higher
 - Mudlet v2.0 and higher
 - TinTin++ v2.00.3 and higher
 - Mushclient v4.59 and higher
 - Tinyfugue - when compiled with --enable-gmcp flag
