Does anyone know how to send text to a different window with MUSHclient? I figured out how to copy my entire Lusternia window, so I can look at everything twice...yay! Not helpful. I want a nice, blank, empty window, which I can send specific lines of text to...and maybe set to have its own series of triggers and such, to highlight important things.

Send your trigger wildcard to a script.

In the script, pull the information from the wildcard array into a variable.

Call AppendToNotepad, passing the text and a notepad window name.

If you need more specific instructions, I'll need to know what script language you're using.

For VBscript you can use this.

This is the Trigger, you can change the "(Celest)" part to whatever channel you wish to capture, or whatever..even says, tells..



Now, put this in your script:

Looks like it's time to learn some basic scripting.

Heres a simple way to do it:

enabled="y"
match="* tells you, "*""
send_to="5"
sequence="100"
>
%1: %2




That should work and it's fairly simple to make and change

Alright, I got it showing up in the second window properly. That's great, fine, dandy. But I can't set up triggers for -that- window. I want to be able to have that window with its own series of triggers, so I can do things like highlight names that are important.

For example, if someone I have in an "allies" variable does something that appears in that window, I want to colour their name green in the window, so it's easy to pick out.

I also want to insert a time stamp before all the text that appears in the window. So, I know what time someone said blah.

MUSHclient doesn't seem to let me to have that window with its own series of triggers.

alt-w, n

Is that what you mean?

You'll have to do some heavy script work to gag everything you don't want for a particular window, I think. Dunno, I've never tried this.

I found that before, isn't quite what I wanted.

The NotePad window, like you suggested for the Aetherwaves, is what I have working now. I wanted to add colours to that, and insert a time stamp before everything that goes to it.

So, I get something that looks like this in it:



Only, with certain names highlighted in green, or red.

I could do without the colours (It'd be a pain, but I could), but being able to insert text into the line (Such as the noted time stamp) would be -really- useful.

Adding a timestamp is easy. Messing with colors, not very easy at all.

If you use Ethelon's example above, change your script so it reads as so:



Apologies in advance if the code doesn't work as planned, but that's the gist of it. VBScript gives me the willies, so I avoid it. Everyone else and their brother uses it to script with, though.

And one last thing I've been fiddling with...sorry to be a pain, but I'm a programming idiot.

I want to insert text based on the name of the person.

I have it set up so that it sends the "X enters your demesne." and "X leaves your demesne." lines into a separate Notepad window, and it timestamps that.

Now, I want it to look at the name of the person who enters, and if that name is in a variable, it adds text to the end of the line.

For example, we'll say Munsia enters my Demesne, and she's in my "CityEnemies" variable, I'd get something that looks like the following:



If she were in two variables, say, my CityEnemies and OrderEnemies variables, it'd get:



In zMUD this was fairly easy to accomplish, but I'm not much of a script writer, and I've used MUSHclient all of five days. Anyways, the idea is that I can meld up a village, turn on Demesne watch, and glance at the Notepad window whenever someone enters my Demesne, to easily see if I need to worry about them or not.

I have to update my variables list on a somewhat regular basis (At least once a month), but that's really not difficult, just inconvenient.

Copy, paste into an empty text file, save as DemesneEcho.xml in your default plugins folder, then install it in your world (under File->Plugins).



And vbscript sucks horrendously, heh.
