Hello,

I hope this is a suitable subforum to post this, as I didn't sadly find anything dedicated to MUD clients.

A cross-platform MUD client (meaning it should work equally good in Windows, Linux and Mac) called wxMUD is near to its first release, but I lack any contacts for active Mac testers to get it work great for the Mac as well right off the start.

First, I suppose I should briefly introduce what wxMUD is:

wxMUD is an open source (GPL) cross-platform graphical MUD client written with the wxWidgets framework to support many platforms (win32, Mac carbon, GTK+, etc) natively. The client currently supports ANSI colours, MCCP, MXP (including, but not limited to, full text formatting, frames, inline images), MSP, aliases/triggers and more.

We are looking good for a first official release, but lack any active testers on Mac OS X. For the client to work great on the Mac, some problems need to be identified and fixed - but that's not really possible to do without anyone testing what, if anything, is wrong. No current developer has a Mac, but preliminary testing thanks to a non-MUDding Mac packager have shown that the client works quite satisfactory on the Mac as well, but to be able to identify any problems that happen during gameplay and knowledgable (MUD players) use, we need your help!

If you have Mac OS X and are willing to help out, please contact me via e-mail or IRC.

My e-mail is and our IRC channel is #wxMUD on the Freenode network - irc.freenode.net
In case of e-mail, please prefix the subject line with "[wxMUD]" for it to not be lost in my other mails, which I get over 150 a day from mailing lists.

From there we can work out real-time (e.g MSN, AIM) contacts in case IRC isn't a permanent option.
I will be able to provide a universal binary that should work on both Intel and old PPC Macs, with Mac OS X 10.3 and later, but possibly also 10.2. This is thanks to someone providing it for me - I can't run or test it myself. A Mac packagers who plays MUDs help would be great too.

Any kind of feedback, requests, and so on is welcome as well, including for other platforms (I might even be convinceable to provide Windows testing binaries, for those who can't compile the code themselves, or help with getting it work from code on Windows, Linux or Mac).

Link to wxMUD homepage is and yes, I know it's quite outdated and ugly - updating the webpage is planned to happen at the same time the first release happens.
