What is Mathayas Alter Aeon.xml?

Mathayas Alter Aeon.xml is a soundpack for the mud Alter Aeon. It has sounds for most spells and a few other things as well. It uses the prompt from the mud and does a number of interesting things with it. It is part of MTScripts and includes a neat little XP and gold counter which lets you keep track of how much experience and gold you've gained or lost. Most of my time working with MTScripts went straight into Mathayas Alter Aeon.xml, which is an exact copy of the xml I use to play the character Mathayas on alter Aeon. It has a lot of functionality, and this help page will try to touch on everything so new or upgrading users can take advantage of all the features.

How to open Mathayas Alter Aeon.xml?

Open Monkey Term and close the recent sessions list if it appears with alt+f4. press ctrl+o to get the open dialogue. Browse using common browse techniques to c:\program files\monkeyTerm\Mathayas Alter Aeon.xml and open it.

What are some initial setup configurations one should make to get this xml to work best?

Note that the config or cfg command has been introduced to make initial setup easier. If you prefer, you can just type cfg and press enter to be presented with a list of options that you can configure.

Select desired speech output

Press ctrl+f2 to cycle between the speech settings. By default speech is set to sapi5. If you are a JAWS or Window-eyes user press this until it says "JAWS or Window-Eyes". Speech can be turned completely off using this key as well. If you lose automatic speech at any point try hitting ctrl+f2 to see if it comes back on.

Modify your eq change aliases to set the eq variable (optional).

The eq variable is an Alter Aeon based variable that Monkey Term monitors, changing it's own variable's value to match that of the Alter Aeon variable. The purpose of this is to help Monkey term figure out what equipment set you are wearing and behave differently depending. For instance, if it thinks you are in hit and you have the trigger system turned on, it will make you automatically assist, etc. To learn about Alter Aeon's variable functionality, log into it and type help variable. To set this up, at the end of each alias you have made for changing equipment you need a command that looks like this. var eq eqhit The above command has the word hit in it, telling Monkey term to behave like you are in a hit set. right now there are two different values that make a difference, eqhit and eqtank. If you set it to eqheal for example, it will behave as though the variable were not set at all. Tip: You can just type this yourself into alter Aeon instead of putting it in your equipment change aliases. Useful if you don't have eq change aliases or otherwise haven't added them to your aliases.
