To see my Aard Mushclient setup, click here. (It's outdated now, but I'll keep it up to show the various plugins/scripts anyway)

You can see some of the plugins at work. The sharp tracker, action icons, my modified score window with TP/QP count and different bars. The updated group monitor output is shown in the added box.(Thanks to Hadar for helping me show what it looks like!)

The yellow counter/timer scripts are also shown. I'll show you how to make those in the FAQ section linked to below. All the plugins seen here are linked to below.

Click here for the edited score window XML. You can either use it as is or follow the instructions to edit it how you like.

For the AardMushclient FAQ +  tutorials, click here.


When you come across XML code for a plugin when it's in a forum or the XML gets emailed to you, copy + paste the XML into a notepad document. Save as ____.xml (I have a folder on my desktop to save plugins in, but you can save it in plugins in the Mushclient plugins folder if you like) To get the plugin working, in Mushclient, go to File > Plugins > Add then find your ____.xml file, select it then click open. If all goes well it will be loaded and in some cases the help text will immediately pop up to help you configure it.

In some cases there will be more than one kind of plugin for you to choose from, like health bars + spellup plugins. I have my favourites, so check them all out to see which you like the best.

I won't collect all the XML here, but I will link to where it is so you'll get to see screen shots and questions other people have about them etc.

I use a lot of these myself, so if you've got trouble trying to get them started or you want to edit colours or something you're welcome to send me a tell/note for help. Keep in mind though I am not a coding/lua expert! In fact I know very little about this kinda thing, I'm only trying to share what little I know with others.

Plugins with *** next to them are highly recommended!

Index of Aardwolf Mushclient plugins (I haven't checked all of them out, I did investigate the Inventory and EQ window plugins though, they seem nifty. This list seems to include extra plugins (like the two I mentioned) that weren't included in the download off the Aard site.  The index includes the stats_detector, create_world_file and telnet_options.lua file which you will need if you didn't download the Aardwolf Mushclient version as a whole from the Aardwolf website. The Aardwolf Mushclient plugins will not work without those.)

Bastmush Scripts Delicious plugins for Aard you should check out.

Plugin to  Check If You Have The Latest Mush Version  Makes upgrading a breeze.

Improved Aardwolf chat window plugin (I can't remember where I got this and I can't find it anywhere, but here is the XML for it. It's the same as the normal Aardwolf chats window but it allows you to gag people easily from the chat window. It will tell you when a line has been gagged.)

List of plugins from the Mushclient site

Youtube clip on how to make a plugin

The Sharp Tracker *** (Best Mushclient tracker/reporter out there! NOTE - The skill improvement problem has now been fixed. in my copy below.)

My Copy of the Sharp Tracker *** (I changed the trigger colours back to the original colours, changed the look of the reporting/status bar text slightly and also took the omit from output off the previously omitted messages.)

Plugins for Aardwolf MUD *** (A collection of nifty plugins by Onoitsu2. Includes spellup, alignment change reporter, auto hunter, weapon switcher, quest inform, potion quaffer, coloured consider, learned reporter, group monitor plugins.)

Potion quaffer V2 (This page includes a GainMonitor plugin too though I haven't teste that one.)

Updated group monitor plugin (This plugin no longer words with the current group output. I'll leave it here in case someone wants to update it.)

Bar of 'Action Icons' (The icons will appear in your window and you can click on them to send commands. EG - You can have an AFK icon, click on it you'll go AFK. The window can be dragged around and repositioned on your screen.)

*UPDATED* Bar of 'Action Icons' *** (This version has a 'cooldown timer' feature. Good for some subclass skills/spells! Also has the ability to play a sound when the icon is clicked.)

Activity bar miniwindow (Makes a winiwindow at the top right hand corner and lists the worlds by number.)

Plugin to provide bar of world names (This shows the above with world names instead of numbers.)

Popup window plugin (Good for quest alerts, really gets your attention!)

Health bar plugin (Window can be dragged around)

Improved health bar plugin *** (Includes enemy health and uses the Aardwolf Mushclient stats plugins to get the info.)

Status window plugin (Health bars + enemy health)

Aardwolf health bar plugin (It appears that you can use the Sharp tracker with this one, though the health bar plugin will take over the infobar where the tracker displays stats. Sharp tracker will still report though.)

Info bar (This will show you how to edit the above to show extra things like Tnl and alignment.)

Experience bar plugin (This one is great, you can configure the sections to your remort too. Like for a 7x character you can have 5 sections, 1 section will account for 1000 exp.)

Improved Experience bar plugin *** (This one gets the info off the Aardwolf Mushclient stats plugins.)

Plugin to show exits in a miniwindow (Can configure it to show other things)

Miniwindow campaign tracker (Tracks your CP in a miniwindow.)

Miniwindow quest tracker (Tracks your quest in a miniwindow.)

Aardwolf spellups plugin (The Aardwolf spellup plugin.)

Miniwindow map plugin (Puts the automap, exits and room name in a miniwindow. This one is different to the one that comes with the AardMushclient download)

Aardwolf Inventory in a Miniwindow plugin (Taken from this thread, check out page 2.  I tried this one, it's nifty.  Gives you a window with tabs, you can mouseover bags for info, mouseover eq for info on that item. You need to put the XML file into your Aardwolf Plugins folder with the telnet options file, or it won't work. NOTE - When I mouseover my Aardbag, I get an error in the main window so as stated in the thread, it's not perfect.

Improved miniwindow map plugin *** (Can be dragged around, will also show you a map legend as in help map when you put your mouse over it, very helpful for newbies!)

Improved bigmap plugin (Improved Bigmap plugin. Includes a blue circle around your location on make it easier to see where you are on the map.)

Aardwolf help window plugin (Puts helpfiles in a window.)

Miniwindow help screen (Highly recommended for those just getting started. It shows a screen that lists help topics, you can click on what you want to read to expand that topic. Click on the words will open that helpfile up for you without actually typing it.)

Consider plugin (Similar to the one Onoitsu2 made, this one shows level ranges at the end. See screenshot in thread) (See below for updated plugin that works with the new aura flags)

Plugin to Substitute Single Words (This is the only plugin I can find for Mush that does this. Eg, from -  You receive 65+7 experience points. to You receive 65+7 deliciousness points.)

Plugin to Make Clickable URLs (Someone gives you a URL, you can click on it in the MUD and it will open the link in your browser. I tested this with the AardMush version, it will echo the line to the main world if you have chats echo off, tags and all, but you can still use the link.)

Upated Consider Plugin (Updated for the flags. To change the colours, edit the colours down the bottom.)

Level timer (Can be made into a powerup timer, just change the trigger message)

Updated Level/Pup timer ***- (HUGE thanks to Sanur for this one, he added seconds to the above level timer, so you can now include days/hours/mins/seconds since your last level/pup. Again, just change what it matches on for the trigger.)

Aardwolf Time to Level plugin (Helps you work out how much time it will take to level on Aardwolf.)

Three Moons (A plugin to calculate when all three moons of Andolor will appear in the sky simultaneously.)

Stopwatch Miniwindow Plugin (A small window that acts as a stopwatch, allowing you to time events. You can set up at alias for it instead of having to click the window, I am thinking you could also set a trigger for it too.)

Plugin to show recent scrollback activity

Plugin to put 'look' output into a window

Plugin to put 'scan' output into a window

Plugin to put 'consider all' output into a window

Plugin to put stats into a window


Auto-hunter *** (Hunts your mob and moves you towards it. Does not send kill commands upon finding the mob, that would be botting and we don't encourage that.)

Auto-hunt trick *** (Automatically locates your campaign mob room with one command!)

Auto-AFK *** (Sets you AFK if you forget)

Spellup plugin *** (Spellup plugin with skills option)
