When you are disconnected from a World (either because you requested it, with the quit command or something similar, or because the server has gone down), you will see a dialog box from which you can choose from four options: Section 4.1). will open the World Selection dialog (see Section 3.1) for you to choose another World to connect to. Offline will keep the world open so that you still see its output or execute some things with Perl. Finally, will close the tab for that World. If that was the only open World, KildClient will exit when you press .
will attempt to reconnect to the same World (using the same character for auto-login, if there is more than one defined, seeYou can force disconnection from a World with the
-> menu. Note that this is not the recommended way to leave a MUD, but it might be necessary in other cases. The same dialog with the three options will be shown.If you choose
-> from the menu, the current World will be forcedly disconnected and automatically closed (just as if you had selected from the dialog). If this is the only open World, KildClient will be exited.To close all open Worlds and exit KildClient immediately, select
-> from the menu.These operations can also be run with Perl. To disconnect from a
World, use the $world->dc
(that is, type
/$world->dc in the command box). To close the
World, use $world->close
. And to quit KildClient
closing all Worlds, use quit
(type
/quit, as you might imagine). The reason
quit
does not have $world-> in
front will be explained in Section 7.1, but for
now suffices to say that since it operates on all Worlds (and not in
one specific one), it does not have that.
