Description
To disable having sound commands sent to you, use the SET SOUND OFF command. To enable again, use the SET SOUND ON command. Sound is enabled by default, but you do need to have the sound packs in order to actually hear the sounds.
Materia Magica supports MSP and MXP in order to play sound effects. If you are using the custom MUSHclient package made for Materia Magica, then sounds are set up already and you should not need to do anything else. Otherwise, to hear sound you will need an MSP or MXP-compatible client, such as Portal or ZMUD, as well as the sounds referenced by the game, which may be downloaded here:
http://www.materiamagica.com/support/downloads.html
Once you have downloaded the files, unzip them into the appropriate directory for the client you are using. This information should be in the documentation that came with your client.
Note:
If your MM MUSHclient package is erroring when sounds play, try typing the command 'msp reset path' (without the quotes) and see if that fixes the problem. If you are still having problems getting the sounds in the above referenced sound packs to work, it may be because MP3 support is not fully enabled on your machine. Try downloading the WAV versions of the sound packs and installing those into the appropriate directory.
The WAV versions of the sound files are around 16MB each, whereas the MP3 versions are much smaller, so the MP3 versions are preferred if you can use them.
