Description

Caffeine

Send a keepalive message every ~150,000,000,000,000 picoseconds.

For the nerds out there, the keepalive is just sending IAC NOP.

What it does

Caffeine helps keep your MUD session from being dropped while you're idle. Every couple of minutes it quietly pokes the connection so your router, firewall, or the MUD itself doesn't decide you've wandered off and cut you loose. Nothing is printed, nothing is sent in-game — you won't see a thing.

Usage

AliasWhat it does
/caffeineShow how often the keepalive is being sent.
/caffeine <N>Send the keepalive every N seconds (minimum 60).

The default is every 150 seconds (2.5 minutes), which is frequent enough to beat most idle timeouts. Your setting is remembered between Mudlet sessions.

License

caffeine is released under the 0BSD.
