### General Connection

The MudMagic Client provides Telnet connectivity to online text games. Current supported protocols include: TCP/IP Telnet, MCCP, MXP, and MSP. Future releases will contain additional connectivity protocols as requested by users.

There are 3 ways which you can use this software to connect to a text game. Clicking the WIZARD to select you a new mud and create a character. Clicking the QUICK CONNECT to create a new character, or using the OPEN dialogue window to log into an existing saved character.

### Connection Wizard

Game List Wizard

Shortcut key: CNTRL+N Located in: Character -> Wizard or click on the Wizard Icon
The Game List Wizard provides you an up to date listing of all telnet text games in the MudMagic Website database. To connect to a game using this feature.

    1. Click on the Wizard button
    2. Select you a game from the list by highlighting it
    3. Click the CREATE button and input a character name [[ example:  Kyndig (dwarf warrior) ]]
    4. Select a proxy if required and then click 'OK'

The client will then attempt to connect to the selected game. If you create any specific software settings, such as aliases/triggers/macros - they will be stored in your OPEN dialogue under the character name you input.

To overwrite any stored characters, you can select the WIZARD and CREATE a new character with the same name, or simply delete the character name from the OPEN dialogue.

Features of the Game List Wizard include:
- Full game list that is updated through the UPDATE button
- Sorting by fields in each list
- Top 30 Games
- Featured Game Sponsor
- Search feature that is filterable by fields
- Column selectable fields for listing ( game name, host, intro, theme, codebase, etc )
- General Info and Description fields per game
- Linked URL to take you directly to that games page for quick-voting

### Quick Connect

Quick Connect
The Quick Connect window, located under Character -> Quick Connect lets you input the host, port, and select a proxy from your global settings.

The Quick Connect is handy for a quick connection to log into a mud. It should not be used though if you plan on keeping a character on that text game. Each Quick Connect action creates a new entry in the 'Open' dialogue window.

### Open Dialogue

Open Dialogue
Shortcut: CNTRL+O Location: Character -> Connect or Open Icon
The Open Dialogue allows you to access previously stored settings on a game-by-game and name-by-name basis. Have multiple characters for your favorite mud? You can create an entry for each player.

The Open Dialogue Supports
- Saving Profile game settings on a game-by-game basis
- Saving Profile game settings on a player-by-player basis
- Import/Export of profile settings (alias,triggers,macros,etc) with mudmagic.com account
- Delete unused stored settings
- on-demand proxy changing on an entry-by-entry basis
