Shattered Kingdoms

Alright, I had to reinstall MUSHclient, and I used to not use all these fancy colorizing/highlighting triggers/etc for bashes and whatnot, but someone had sent me a file, which I still have..

But I can't figure out how to "load" it? It's not an .mct or .mca file, it seems to be a single file with aliases/triggers and other settings in it? How do I put this in!?

Also, is it possible to grasp tells, gtells, cabal chat and display it in an other window in mushclient as in zmud?

It is, I think. Rodwen or somebody had given me the script for that ages ago, iirc.

I have no idea how to do that myself, and do not have the file!

That's why we await for someone who knows to respond to our questions!

if you have a .MCL file, after reinstall, you can double click it to load it, it will be everything you had before

i make a new .MCL file for each new character so it has its own log, aliases, coloring, etc

I did write this, and went into the thread I started to promote it. It was being hosted on my dropbox, but now, the link doesn't work, as the file doesn't exist on dropbox anymore. Le holy crap this is annoying. I don't think I have another copy, either, so unless someone else recognizes a file named miniChat.lua, then we might be sol.

only posting in gd from now - thx and have a nice day

I just started using MUSHclient due to it's friendliness with HTML posting. I set up a fake world and sent all the stuff to it - However, I went batsh-t crazy trying to figure out gagging the prompt afterwards so I didn't have tons of empty line breaks on my main screen.. I don't know if it's possible for it to capture my prompt (as generic as it is, I don't want to change it) and set an inherently-disabled trigger that activates to gag it only once once after the xfer to the new world/chat window occurs.

I was working up on setting up a series of 2 triggers to gag the 2 following lines after the capture and transfer, but I was missing little lines of important stuff here and there with a broad-stroke trigger like that.

/rage at zmud and mushclient both, hopefully Rodwin/Finney saves the day.

I have a tell (gtell, clan, yell) capture. i'll post it here (c/p it into a standard .txt file, but give it a name with .xml at the end....like "chat.xml" (xml is a markup language like html...but its just text...MUSHClient reads the xml extension as a plugin file... all you need to create a plugin is Notepad.... all you need to create a simple webpage is Notepad and whatever web browser you use... if you know how to write all the code yourself)

Then start a new world and save it as "chat" (it will save as chat.mcl)...needs to be called that in order for the plugin to work. set its IP address as 0.0.0.0 (port doesn't matter, i think it defaults to 4000)

To install a plugin (both the chat.xml and the .xml file you have, WW, for hilites etc.) while on SK window, go to File > Plugins. Click Add, then browse to wherever you have your .xml files stored, select your plugin file, Open it (have to do it one at a time if you have multiple ones to add). Provided the plugin installed without incident, a note line should appear on your main (SK) world about it being installed. Resize your windows (SK and Chat) to how you want it.

SAVE YOUR SK WORLD. (Save your chat world as well.)

Now, next time you start up MUSHClient and open your SK world, the chat window will open automatically.

(By the way, this chat capture plugin was written by the creator of MUSHClient, though I added in one or two things, most notably a "clear window" alias.... so if you're like me and dont want to be staring at tells from an hour ago because things have been quiet for a while... you can type: clear tells )

Does that get rid of the blank lines once captured, or does chat show up in both windows?
