Any directory prefixed with a . is a hidden directory. Just enable the option to view hidden files.

With a snarl, you clutch Munsia's throat with your arms and begin to choke the life from her.

HOw would I make a trigger that say choking said person?

^With a snarl\\, you clutch (\\w+)\\'s throat with your arms and begin to choke the life from (him|her)\\.$

send("clan foo tell Choking " .. matches)

Just a note, you don't have to escape commas and apostrophes. I also prefer to not capture extra stuff like him/her, so I can put multiple lines in one trigger and not worry if the matches are the same for each line.
^With a snarl, you clutch (\\w+)'s throat with your arms and begin to choke the life from (?:him|her)\\.$
Not sure if it makes any real difference, though! Just my personal preferences.

Edit: I thought that looked funny. >_>

?: to not capture a group, not :?.

Aldani:

The last script/package I successfully imported was the fancy GUI. I had a bit of trouble getting the right path for the images, but I figured it out and I'm pretty sure I didn't break anything in doing that. Since then, whenever I open the scripts page and click to import, the file browser opens for a second but then vanishes, and after that the input box in the main screen no longer works. I have to quit and restart the program to input any text. I've restarted the program, I've restarted the computer, all with the same result.

EDIT: I've found http://forums.mudlet....php?f=9&t=2336, which describes the problem, so I guess my new question is: any updates and any way around this?

Kelly:


A friend had this problem also. I think she ended up keeping an older version of Mudlet that didn't cause problems and used that to import scripts, and then could use the updated version regularly.


Unfortunately, even this has stopped working now. Anyone have any ideas?

system.tracking.paused = false
system.gui = system.gui or {}
system.temp = system.temp or {}
system.gui.functions = system.gui.functions or {}
system.tracking.simpleTarget = "NOTHING"


statusBarOutline = Geyser.Label:new({
name = "target_bar_outline",
x = 305, y = -25,
width = "403", height = 25,
color = "DarkSlateGrey",
}, layout)

statusBar = Geyser.Label:new({
name = "target_bar",
x = 306, y = -23,
width = "400", height = 21,
color = "black",
}, layout)
statusBar:setFontSize(8)

system.gui.functions.targetui =
function()
local output = "Target: " .. system.tracking.simpleTarget .. (system.tracking.paused and " * PAUSED *" or "")
output = output .. (system.temp.currentAurics and (" | Auric Chain: " .. system.temp.currentAurics) or "")
output = output .. (system.temp.suggestions and (" | Suggestions: " .. #system.temp.suggestions) or "")


statusBar:echo(output, "orange", "cb")
end

system.gui.functions.targetui()


I don't know where to put this code though

what is wrong with these?


^In a swift, fluid motion, (\\w+) springs up from (his|her) hands to land crouched on (his|her) feet.\\.$

^A (\\w+) has been slain by (\\w+).$

^In a swift, fluid motion, (\\w+) springs up from (his|her) hands to land crouched on (his|her) feet.\\.$

You've got feet.\\.$ at the end, which really translates to two fullstops. Just leave it as feet.$

^A (\\w+) has been slain by (\\w+).$

The w wildcard will only accept non-blankspace characters. The first (\\w+) will only work if the mob is a single word. Also, you only took into account the article "A" to begin with. For mobs which will require "An", or even none at all, this wouldn't work. The simplest way to fix it is to replace "A (\\w+)" with (.*)

would this work?


^Throwing a kick in the Spronghai style, you slam your right heel on (\\w+)\\'s head.$
^Throwing a kick in the Spronghai style, you slam your right heel on (\\w+)\\'s chest.$
^Throwing a kick in the Spronghai style, you slam your right heel on (\\w+)\\'s right arm.$
^Throwing a kick in the Spronghai style, you slam your right heel on (\\w+)\\'s left arm.$
^Throwing a kick in the Spronghai style, you slam your right heel on (\\w+)\\'s gut.$
^Throwing a kick in the Spronghai style, you slam your right heel on (\\w+)\\'s right leg.$
^Throwing a kick in the Spronghai style, you slam your right heel on (\\w+)\\'s left leg.$


and how would I get mudlet to do something like this?
for like the arms

ceecho(Spronghai: 314 +bleeding)
Lilia2012-01-15 23:00:06
I would use this:
^Throwing a kick in the Spronghai style, you slam your right heel on (\\w+)'s (.+)\\.$

For the echo, I'm not entirely sure what you're wanting it to do. If you want it to echo exactly that, use this:
echo("\\nSpronghai: 314 +bleeding")
To make it colored:
cecho("\\nSpronghai: 314 +bleeding")

I don't know where to put this code though


Just create a script object and paste that in. That said, the code there will need changing slightly.

Remove these lines:

output = output .. (system.temp.currentAurics and (" | Auric Chain: " .. system.temp.currentAurics) or "")
output = output .. (system.temp.suggestions and (" | Suggestions: " .. #system.temp.suggestions) or "")

You will need to also add these lines at the top of that code:

system = system or {}
system.tracking = system.tracking or {}

@draylor thanks.

I would use this:
^Throwing a kick in the Spronghai style, you slam your right heel on (\\w+)'s (.+)\\.$

For the echo, I'm not entirely sure what you're wanting it to do. If you want it to echo exactly that, use this:
echo("\\nSpronghai: 314 +bleeding")
To make it colored:
cecho("\\nSpronghai: 314 +bleeding")

I'm Wanting to echo what I limb hit and color it with the echo.
Is there a way I could put my target in the status bar?

Are you on Lion? Can you post the full report the mac makes?

Vadi:

Yes, I am on Lion. As far as I've seen, there are no crash or error reports; the file browser disappears and the application stops accepting input. Once I get back to my computer I can look through the error etc. logs to see if there's some that I missed, though.
Vadi2012-01-19 03:36:34
Do you have Skype installed? Can you use it's file browser?
Aldani2012-01-19 03:38:53
I do not, though I could install it if necessary.
Vadi2012-01-19 05:48:49
Yes, test it out please. Should be free to install. Mumble works as well (if you can do both to see then great)
Aldani2012-01-19 07:38:44
Yes, the file browsers in both work correctly.

How do I remove the extra carriage return I still have after using deleteFull() to gag something?

ie.
Trigger: You exert superior mental control and your wounds clot before your eyes.
Script: deleteFull("You exert superior mental control and your wounds clot before your eyes.\\n")
-----

-- globally accessible
-- delete full line and prompt by Vadi
function deleteFull()
deleteLine()
tempLineTrigger(1,1,])
end
