"A Classic Returns, Reimagined" The story of MUDBasher is the story of MUDRammer—a beloved app created with love in 2012, named after a friend's ridiculous character name, that brought joy to text gamers for years. When it could no longer keep up with modern iOS, rather than let it fade away, it was completely rebuilt from the ground up. Same heart, new soul. Faster, prettier, more features, and ready for the next decade of adventures.

Better layout, but still needs work
Feb 17

From the voiceover perspective, MUDBasher has a much better layout than MUDRammer. Everything is more readable and I have had a much better time navigating. It does still need some improvements, in addition to the Wong bug I noticed from the little I've yet used it with the sound pop-up in triggers not working. Besides that, my main concern is the glitch which is carried over from MUDRammer with voiceover occasionally jumping around in the output when it is scrolling. This does not happen all the time, but often enough to be annoying. This app definitely has great potential and I hope it continues to improve.Issues with the interface that I've noticed (purely from a voiceover perspective):• When adding/editing triggers, there is a bug with the matching menu. I only tried two of the options, both of which gave different yet faulty results. If I tried to change the matching to regular expression, upon saving and going back in I found that it reset back to the default option. If I chose the option for matching at the beginning of the line, it would save correctly, but I tested the trigger on a line that contained but didn't start with the pattern I'd used and it still matched.• in settings, there is an item called "Text to speech using VoiceOver" which does not appear to be toggle or give any indication of doing anything.• the last issue I've noticed which also carried over from MUDRammer is the output when there is no scroll bar visible. As a voiceover user, I use the scroll bar to quickly navigate to the end of the output, which is not possible when it does not exist. If there is any way to add a widget that will mark the end of output for voiceover users, that would be extremely useful for me.

Needs more work but happy to see it exists

The character bar (the one that you can select to give easy access to frequently used characters) causes my app to freeze as soon as I try to use it. It would also be nice if the screen scrolled automatically to the bottom on login or that this could at least be an option.

Good Idea, Faulty Execution

Very few of these features work or are functional at all. Most of them are purely cosmetic; the controls or settings affect nothing. How can this be using MUDRammer's backbone and have so many basic features that functioned just fine in MUDRammer turn out so broken here?• Word wrap does nothing. Client is still unreadable on a standard phone screen. Text still runs off the right side of the screen and is therefore illegible.• Connectivity still drops the instant the user switches focus out of the app, despite claims it's fixed in another review-comment.• Display features (font typeface, font size, colors/themes) intermittently fail to set or reset themselves.• Putting text in the input buffer causes the entirety of the output buffer to rearrange itself, making BOTH buffers illegible.• Dismissed radial controls still try to crowd back in.This is not a complete list of broken things; it's just a few features I know aren't working off the top of my head. I'll add any others I find later. Is there a better place to submit bug reports, or is this the most likely to have eyes on it?My dude. Please test your releases before you release them. Make sure your features are actually working before declaring them fixed. We all really want to support this client, we do, there are no alternatives; but it's really difficult to use it in its current state. Some folks can't even use it at all. :(

Sound bug and triggers

I like the app but I have discovered a sound bug in the trigger settings. When I click the pop-up button that says select sound, it doesn’t bring up a window with all the sounds and so the only sound you get is the sound that used to be used for announcements on some games.

- Fixed a bug where opening the Connection Stats screen could disrupt the active session's connection tracking - Fixed garbled text and a non-functional "UTF-8" encoding option with some servers
