Draylor:

Use a colour match trigger. Set your says to something really obscure that will never be repeated. Problem solved.

The problem with that is, all of the selectable colours WILL be repeated, eventually.

I shy from doing that just for the off chance of watching a play or seeing Divine fun that uses an uncommon colour, and ruining my chat window :'(

Edit: Solution found!

Set the trigger to match some hideous combination of FG and BG colours, then overwrite with a highlight.

PERFECTION.

Was exactly what I was suggesting you do, dear :)

When you ungag the text it seems to be double posting everything sent to the chat box.

I am not seeing this behaviour. Could you do me a favor and post a screenshot, as well as tell me what version of mudlet you are using?

I'm trying out colourtriggers to capture all forms of says, but the timestamps don't seem to follow the rules entirely. See link. First is with the BG colour showing, second is having filtered it out. I want timestamps to not have the BG colour either, but to use the FG colour :ocd:

When doing my says trigger, if I set the code as follows:


selectCurrentLine()
bg("black")
demonnic.chat:append("Says")


Then I get the resulting screenshot. You can see the lines it ran when I had the bg() call set.


^(.*) says, ".*"$


That's what I use to capture says without using any fancy colour triggers.

It won't capture clans, so it won't double append.

Sojiro, the problem with that is if people get fancy and use words like asks, mutters ect. it doesn't get captured. See my example of an NPC that uses exclaim as the verb.

Demonnic, I'll give it a try, but since I also use IFF I'm having to go about it with temporary triggers. Should work in theory. Will get back to you if I can't get it sorted.

Ewww. IFF. Use my highlighter. -Much- faster ;)

What's wrong with using (?:asks|mutters|etc) then? Solves that problem

A bit like this?:


table.insert(IFFChatTriggers,tempRegexTrigger(\\"$]],]))
table.insert(IFFChatTriggers,tempRegexTrigger(\\"$]],]))
table.insert(IFFChatTriggers,tempRegexTrigger(],]))
table.insert(IFFChatTriggers,tempRegexTrigger(],]))


Yes. It captures everything. And some things you don't expect either - but I'd personally rather it popped up with random things sometimes than missed people talking to me.

(I haven't posted this up before because I am totally not a coder, and there are doubtless errors in it/things done very messily - use with caution! If nothing else it is a nice list of the different says).

Because I am too lazy to go and grab every verb. Also when people go and use 'say (some fancyness here) blablabla' things can still go haywire. Color capture seems the be the most inclusive. Only downside is when logging in on nexus you have says with a background colour but I never really use that so I don't mind :D

I have to say; I am at a loss as to why people simply don't use a colour trigger. Gate it if you really want to get fancy, but for me, it works flawlessly.

Nothing wrong with it at all. You still can't do that with emotes, though. Plus it won't necessarily capture anything with a prefatory phrase. And with the ability to manipulate the colour of the triggered text however I like, the colour trigger just seems to me to be the easiest, most efficient solution. Plus, it meant I didn't have to figure out how to account for all the various ways of saying something, and/or any current or future ability to modify the format. Not when I could do CONFIG COLOUR and then make a colour trigger.

Quick version bump to 2.2, small GMCP handler change.

I've noticed that whenever I've walked into the Glom nexus room, Mudlet hangs for a few seconds before loading the room.

After doing a clean install of Mudlet, it seems that it only happens when the Tabbed Chat is installed (I'm on the latest version) - I've absolutely no idea what could be causing this (not being savvy with coding or anything like that), beyond that if I uninstall the Tabbed Chat, the hanging/lag goes away.
