I've been trying to teach myself Jscript so I can make scripts to organize my mudding a bit more. Recently, I got an idea to have a free floating window that I could pass all my tells to, and click on them to reply. Is there any way to have a window not be in the MUSHclient's main window? Acutally, is ther any way to do this at all using MUSHclient?
I doubt this is possible, but....

You can send all tells to another window easily enough, just with a trigger. However to make them "click to reply to" is a bigger job.
I don't know enough about Jscript to know how to go about that. Maybe someone else does? :)

It depends if there is a command to send text to the command line window, without sending it to the world ???
Though if that is not possible, there is another aproach too, though that will take, that you make a vb program, and make it open up the window, storing the tells in a listbox, then when you double click on one of the entries in the listbox (eg you tells received), it will popup a box where it asks what you would like to reply, and then send the whole to the world. :)
Though i am sure there is a easier way to do this.

Depends on what you mean by easier... The VB program idea would technically be a COM server object to be able to communicate both directions with Mushclient. The advantage being it uses its own memory space, so a bug crashing it shouldn't effect Mush (but on windoze....). The other way is to inline a COM object in a script (basically the same window declarations, etc.). The disadvantage being that it runs within Mushclient and if something goes wrong it kills both. Not sure there is any better way though.
Have a similar problem with an idea I had. The idea was added to Gammon's list as a possible future addition, but in the mean time I know generally how it should work as a COM object, but no clue how to actually write it. lol And most online examples assume you are creating it for web use, which tends to be a different animal all together. :p
