Shattered Kingdoms

Don your thinking caps for this one, folks.

You can setup MUSHclient so that whenever a certain line of text pops up, a message can automatically be sent to a notepad file. For instance, I've had it for a while that when "You are hungry" pops up, a message flies over to remind me to eat, something like "Metabolism owns you LOL!1!"

In priesting duties, the "info" results are crucial. Who's dying, who's fine, etc. My question is this: Is there any way to redirect the "info" data to the notepad file so it isn't continually scrolling up the page?

First one to tell me how gets a virtual high-five.

A quick script that you can call, which captures 13 lines of text to the notepad window will do.
1 for the title, 3 for the layout, 1 more for misc table filler, then 9 for the max member list.
Set it to trigger on "Group:" and you're set.

There lies the problem... I can't find a way to directly copy text from the Mud window to the notepad file.

zMUD (and I'm assuming cMUD) can do this. Why haven't you upgraded yet? It doesn't cost much!

Because Zero is a much smaller cost than "not much"

WEAK.

MUSHclient actually offers a lot more things than zMUD, but it takes knowledge and effort to write scripts in the scripting languages it has.

I have no idea how to do what Othet is asking, nor I can try to test something now(no notepad for me atm ), but at the forum at MUSHclient's official site are many examples of triggers that can probably help him.

Is that your expert opinion, or someone elses? I'd comment on the irony of claiming something is better than something else, and then confessing you don't know how to do something...but I think we're all smart enough to see that. </good-natured ribbing>

Hey, assembly as a programming language is far more powerful than C++(or Basic or Pascal or whatever) for example, in terms of efficiency. Most PC users know nothing about assembly, while quite a few know things about some other programming or scripting language. So all these users should claim that assembly sucks?

Or like claiming that unix based OS suck compared to windows because there are times you have to compile drivers or programs from source to install them and they are not so user friendy(the click-next-button logic).

It's not a matter of how well you know to use something to know how good it is compared to other things. It offers capabilities that make it superior. Hard to use, sure, but they are still there. As a simple user you won't bother to write scripts in PERL or TCL. I know I won't.

If others write them though and you can use them, it's better for you, right?

scream and throw the keyboard at the monitor a few times. Then check what sort of code you have, and work from there.

Works every time for me.
