Use x11 and tintin.

x11 is a terminal program / windowing environment. (Can set like alt f1-12 to auto size any of your windows.)

Then just run Tintin. (It runs off Unix/Linux).

I think Elner posted some solid tintin setups w/a warrior rescue list and one for chanter, shaman etc... somewhere around here.

X11 isn't well supported on 10.4, though you should be able to install it from your OSX Installation media. The more up to date XQuartz releases require 10.5.

That said, TinTin++ is probably your best option on the Mac. It's the only one I actually liked, and its syntax is very similar to ZMUD's. You can run it using Terminal.app if you have trouble with X11, though the colors may be off.

If there aren't any scripts in this forum for it, I also saw some posted on the Triterium BBS.

Tintin++ is a good option, it's what I'm using. The only reason not to use it is that the mapper isn't as good as the one in zuggsoft products. There is a mapper now, going to have to give it a spin. Then again, being able to integrate with mysql and manage certain things yourself is a win if you're into that (I am).

Another option is to get parrellels desktop for mac.... I run it, and it allows you to run any windows program on your mac desktop die-by-side, including cmud/zmud. It is slightly sluggish for graphic games but for text based gaming it works great. The trial is free for 14 days, the software cost about $60, and you do need a copy of a windows OS to run on it.

Try this client, it works on Macs if you have Java installed.
