Upgrade Instructions

The script may not function properly if the state file is not deleted before new version is
installed.

1.
Download the plugin again from the here to get the latest version:
http://code.google.com/p/aardinvwin/

2.
Remove the old plugin from the File > Plugins dialog.

3.
Use Window XP search on the start menu with this search "*6dbbeddda02ed2390b58ccd9-state.xml" with out the quotes (").
The search should find a file like this:
777af83cdf336b8bb5207967-6dbbeddda02ed2390b58ccd9-state.xml

Or just use Explorer to browse to this directory:
"C:\Program Files\MUSHclient\worlds\plugins\state\777af83cdf336b8bb5207967-6dbbeddda02ed2390b58ccd9-state.xml"

This is my state file name it may different on your computer
how ever the "dbbeddda02ed2390b58ccd9" will be the same.

4.
Delete this file, it's important that this file be deleted after the plugin has
been removed and before you install the new version.

5.
If requested at begining of post.
Delete the Aardwolfdb.db file. By default this file is installed at:
"C:\Program Files\MUSHclient\worlds\plugins\Aardwolfdb.db"

6.
Then go to the File > Plugins dialog and install the new version.



Install Instructions

Requires MUSH 4.40 the custom Aardwolf MUSH client is here:
http://www.aardwolf.com/play/downloadmc.htm

1.
Three files are required to run this plugin Inventory_Window_2.xml, mw.lua and aardsql.lua.

Inventory_Window_2.xml
Download these from http://code.google.com/p/aardinvwin/:
Inventory_window_2.xml save to MUSH plugin directory (default: C:\Program Files\MUSHclient\worlds\plugins\)
aardsql.lua save to MUSH lua directory (default: C:\Program Files\MUSHclient\lua\)

If you have the latest version of MUSH the file below is included.
mw.lua
Download the file on the site below to the lua directory under the MUSH install directory.
http://www.gammon.com.au/forum/bbshowpost.php?id=8947

2.
If "invmon" is turned on at the MUD when plugin is installed the Plugin will disable this tag and AutoUpdate won't
work I plan to make a set of triggers to solve this.
So before install enter "invmon" until you get "You will no longer see inventory update tags." back from the MUD.

3.
Then install Inventory_Window_2.xml into MUSHclient using the File menu -> Plugins.
http://www.gammon.com.au/forum/?id=9617

4.
After the plugin is installed you need to run the command "inw slist" to load the spells list into the database.

I recommend creating an alias to reload the script from the command line. This is useful if you are editing the settings
in the script file or if the script screws up. Reloading the script won't change setting unless you have edited the script.
I plan to add this alias via the script but for now you'll need to do it manually.
1.
Select and copy between the lines below.
2.
Open "Game -> Configure -> Aliases" or "CTRL+SHIFT+9" menu.
3.
Click the paste button.

--cut--
<aliases>
    <alias
        match="rlinv"
        enabled="y"
        send_to="12"
        sequence="100"
    >
        <send>
            if ReloadPlugin ("6dbbeddda02ed2390b58ccd9") == error_code.eNoSuchPlugin then
                check (LoadPlugin ("/program files/mushclient/worlds/plugins/Inventory_Window_2.xml"))
            end
        </send>
    </alias>
</aliases>
--cut--

Full cut and paste aliases, triggers and timers instructions can be found here:
http://www.gammon.com.au/forum/?id=4777


The settings below will work as default.

A database is created in the plugin directory this can be changed by editing the script file.
change:
db_path = GetPluginInfo (GetPluginID(), 20) .. "\Aardwolfdb.db"

to:
db_path = [[c:\your directory]]



To change the look and behaviour of the plugin open the Inventory_Window_2.xml file
and edit the options below. An editor like Crimson Editor can be configured to display MUSH xml
files with colours making editing MUCH easier.
http://www.gammon.com.au/forum/bbshowpost.php?bbsubject_id=8692

You can find the options below starting at line 316 of Look_Scan.xml, make a backup of
these settings because tests are not done for unreasonable values.

AutoRefresh         = true                          -- "true" = uses invmon and invitem tags to trigger inventory refresh


It shouldn't interfere with any other plugins, all triggers are turned on and off as
needed if it does please let me know.


To trigger commands in plugin from other plugins use:

Execute (“inw <arg>”)


To view the contents of the database outside MUSH get SQLite Browser:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/sqlitebrowser/


The commands to reference items in a bag using serials is not completed on the MUD. So items in a bag can
be viewed but no details can be gotten from the MUD.

I would not run commands from this plugin on items in bags at all.

Look here for limitations on the MUD commands used for this plugin:

Bug:

I made a new character and started doing the Academy stuff. I started off with ...


an Aardwolf Adventurer's Guide (type read guide) (0)


in my inventory.

However after doing my first quest I wanted to see if I got anything else in my inventory so I typed "inw" again and saw:


2 x an Aardwolf Adventurer's Guide (type read guide) (0)


Strange, I thought. Why would they give me two of those? Typing "inw" again gives:


3 x an Aardwolf Adventurer's Guide (type read guide) (0)


So it looks like the inventory list is not cleared out when you refresh it.

To help the plugin look more readable on the web page, I suggest converting tabs to spaces (Crimson Editor will do this for you, as will most editors).

Also change tables like TypesT and WearT to wrap in the source (ie. one item per line) so the web page does not have horizontal scroll bars as much.

If you type "inw slist" it would be helpful to have a confirmation that something happened. I did it, but there was no confirmation anything had been updated. Something like "spells list now loaded" would help.

This is how the inventory looked for me on a new chararacter:

It opened on the right-hand side of my window, about half-way down.

Then I opened an exisiting character with more inventory, and saw this:

For some reason, it opened in the top left corner, obscuring the MUD output somewhat. Notice the provision for multiple pages.

Then I realized I could drag the window around (which is nice) by clicking on the word "Inventory", and saw this:

Note the hover-over information when you hover over an item.

The last screen shot above shows that, after dragging, the window text quality seems degraded for some reason.

Suggest checking window is visible after reload. Otherwise it might be off the screen somewhere. After these lines:


local x, y, mode, flags =
      tonumber (GetVariable ("windowx")) or 0,
      tonumber (GetVariable ("windowy")) or 0,
      tonumber (GetVariable ("windowmode")) or 8,
      tonumber (GetVariable ("windowflags")) or 4


Add:


-- check miniwindow visible
  if x < 0 or x > GetInfo (281) or
     y < 0 or y > GetInfo (280) then
     x, y = 0, 0  -- reset to top left
  end -- if not visible

Just discovered the plugin implements click-to-use, like this:

So, to equip an item in the inventory (or quaff a potion, etc.) left-click on it and select the appropriate menu item.

In your database management - I would not keep re-opening the database. In particular, in AardSelect, that is adding quite an overhead to open the database each time you want to query it. I would be opening that in plugin install, and leaving it open.

Also, I can't see the tables being indexed by name. This will make the lookups quite inefficient, as SQL has to do a linear scan to find a particular item.

I would make the "name" field the primary key where appropriate, or add an index like this:


CREATE INDEX xref_Name ON spells (Name);


Now, if you need to look up a particular spell by name, the database can directly index to the right one.

If you filter in such a way that the window is empty (eg. filter on keys when you don't have any) the page is shown as 1/0 pages.


BTW Blainer, don't take my comments as a criticism. I think the plugin is great - I was hoping someone would do something like this. :-)

Just needs a few tweaks, and I bet it will be very popular.

Thanks for the help and pics, sorry about not posting proper instructions will do that when it works.
Didn't take your comments as criticism, the code is bad I know and to be honest I'm surprised I
didn't get a post saying "LOL!".

I'm fixing all you mentioned but in making the database stay open I created another problem,
I now get SQLite error "21 : Library used incorrectly" returned from DataBaseStep() when doing
AardSelect() from InvDet(). I don't think it's to do with the db being open, I had this error
before with something else. Do you know what this error actually means? I can't find it explained
in my books or online. The SQL the script uses when the error is caused works with SQLite Browser
on the same database.

I can't figure out the blurred text either. The title text is blurred all the time but the list
is always fine on my computer. I messed around with the size of the text box with no luck once
I get the db working again I'll do a bunch of tests in another window see if I can make the problem
again. I'm pretty sure it's the text box height.

Here's a list of features the next post will have as soon as I fix the above error:

-Shows a miniwindow with inventory contents
-Caches item details in a searchable SQLite database
-Drag and drop window
-Minimize miniwindow to a movable button
-Apply filters to inventory from menu and command line
-View contents of bags

Commands:
-Inventory Window plugin commands:
inw - show/refresh inventory window.
inw h - minimize window to a movable button.
inw s - maximize window.
inw n – show next page.
inw p – show previous page.
inw <page num> - show page <page num>.
inw f - show filters list.
inw <filter name> - filter inventory list, filter names can be shortened, "inw ar" will match Armour.
inw a - use filter Show all.
inw s:<item description> - search database for an item.
inw slist - add spell list to the database (needs to be done once to display details properly).
inw dbmsg - toggle script database messages, at install reverts to value set in script.
inw <serial> - get invdetails on item and add to database.
inw getalldetails - get item details for entire inventory (not items in bags).
inw ? - show this help.

I plan on adding these next:
-View bags from command line.
-Display item count, max items count, weight and max weight.
-Add button for refresh/return to page 1 of inventory.
