Has anyone ever been able to get this to work this year?
Can't for the life of me catch a packet. Followed instructions to the letter.
in my 'sample':
def getHostPort(self):
return 'sneezy-mud.com', 7900
in shell:
python3 pycat.py sample 7900
Output on Mudlet:
[ OK ] - Mudlet-lua API & Geyser Layout manager loaded.
[ OK ] - Map loaded successfully (0s).
[ INFO ] - Looking up the IP address of server: ::1:7900 ...
[ INFO ] - The IP address of ::1 has been found. It is: ::1
[ INFO ] - Trying to connect to ::1:7900 ...
[ INFO ] - A connection has been established successfully.
-- Connecting
(Hangs on '-- Connecting'. Catches input just fine, as the map module will ask for an update. But doesn't seem to be passing output from telnet to the client)
Yep, next you're supposed to connect a regular MUD client (tintin++ or netcat or somesuch) to localhost:7900. Pycat acts as a proxy, implementing scripting in itself, and presenting a plaintext TCP socket for you to connect to.

See here where I said 'Output on Mudlet:'?
Mudlet is a mud client. That's what that means.
localhost:7900
See this? The IP address of ::1 has been found. It is: ::1 ::1 is localhost
It was like 5 lines of text and some very short console output formatted as nicely as I could, how'd you miss these details?
I ended up just quickly writing my own telnet client, I don't have time for this.

Nope, missed that bit. Sorry.

I'm about as diligent in providing customer support, as you are paying for it :D
I'm testing now... I pushed a commit, 55c0389, where I switch from sneezymud.org to sneezy-mud.com, just to be on the same page. I don't have any other modifications.
Launching pycat:

No idea why it might not work for you. Have you blocked IPv6 somehow?
I ended up just quickly writing my own telnet client, I don't have time for this.
Have fun rediscovering all the beautiful corner cases :)
