BeipMU

BeipMU a feature rich client which can be downloaded from the Windows Store.

Some of its defaults are different to expected from other clients. Recommend, though optional configuration elements are shown in this article.

Support for BeipMU can be found on the BeipMU Discord server.

Server Configuration

Accessed via the Worlds icon () or via Connection > Connect menu.

Option	Value	Description
Name	ThresholdRPG	Identity of the game name
Host	thresholdrpg.com:3333	Server address and port
Text Encoding	UTF8 - Unicode	Threshold supports UTF-8 text encoding

Character Configuration

Create Character

Accessed via the Worlds icon () or via Connection > Connect menu.

Once you have added the server, you need to add a character profile(s) in order for BeipMU to save your configuration settings (output/input window fonts and many of the options recommendations provided below). This is done by selecting New... > Character at the bottom of the Connect menu.

Autologin

You can set BeipMU to log your character in automatically by using the Connect String feature in the character configuration screen.

DO NOT simply put your character name and password on separate lines, this will break your GMCP and prevent certain elements of this functioning for you. Instead, you need to prepend your character name and your password with a delay so that BeipMU and Threshold have a chance to negotiate about GMCP first. To do that, use the following example, substituting your character name and password.

/delay .5s charactername
/delay .6s password

NB: Remember that while it is OK to put in credentials for auto-logging into Threshold, it is NOT OK to auto-reconnect and auto-login.
