You should make the next version of Mushclient msp (Mud Sound Protocol) compatible. That way people could hear sounds while they play.

Thank you for the suggestion.

MSP is on the list for the next major release.

Hi

With my friend we have some asks and propositions what You can add to the Mush (if it's posible).

First: is there any posibility to match and add to one variable a few lines of the text by one trigger ?
eg. 1) The weather-beaten rugged male human introduces himself as:
2) Dirhavel the Seafarer, adventurer, male human.

I'm doing a trigger to " * introduces himself as:* " and there is no any const text in second line.
So, I want to add this all text (two lines) to a variable or send to a introduce_file.
Is there any posibility to do it ? (without on and off the logging).

Second: I read that in the Mush ver. 3.04 is a posibility to send to a notepad some texts.
It's generaly very good idea, but can You do window inside the Mush, where we send something (ie. our health) with colours ? I think that the window should be "always on top" and we can resize it.

I know, I'm boring and my english is terrible.

And the last: My friend wants to have a user-defined buttons (maybe with own names ?) who will fire a scripts functions.
Also he dreams about a table of variables with functions to searching, deletind, etc. (maybe list ?).

Thank You,
Omxi.

I'm not sure what you want to do with your first question, can you send an actual example?

It is hard to keep the notepad on top, however what you can do is send your health to the status line so that you can see it all the time.

You can define function keys (F2, F3 and so on) to have your own words, and then those words can match an alias. The alias can then call a script. To list functions you could write a script to list all variables. You could also make an alias that would search for variables with something in them. See the examples on the functions page:

http://www.gammon.com.au/mushclient/functions.htm

(This has examples of listing variables, you would have to write your own one to do a search. If you have problems doing that let me know).

how about an even more user-friendly text string highlighting engine...
For example... you make a pull-down menu that has an 'add to highlights' feature... then, you double click on a word, name, whatever, or drag your mouse across an entire line, then right click, and have the 'pull down menu' pop up... Have a few boxes like 'add to strings'... 'add to names'...
And the software writes the trigger for you.

Any mud software that doesn't do that now isn't user-friendly!

Good idea! And easy to do to (which I like). I have added that as suggestion #392 to my suggestion database (accessible from the MUSHclient page).

SubSecond timers....

Needed for those of us that need to have timers go off to the exact millisecond.

You already have speedwalk customizable to milliseconds, can you do the same for triggers in the next version please.
Australia Forum Administrator #7
Version 3.61 onwards now implements sub-second timers. Not to the millisecond, which is a bit over the top, but to 10th of a second.

Hah!
You missed the accelerator reference!

I suppose you’re updating these old posts for archives, as well as in case the poster is subscribed? How do you find these though? You and your Jedi mind tricks.

Actually, resizing of notepads is now done too. And there are plenty of renditions of health-thingamajigs.

Looks like I missed a bit more, see below. :)

Anyway, good point - "He's using an old Jedi Mind Trick". <grin>

How I do it is to vaguely recall that a certain feature has been requested a few times over the last few years, and then do a quick forum search to locate references to it, and update the thread, so that someone who finds that thread again will realise the feature has been implemented.

Multi-line triggers are now available - check the "multi-line" box for the trigger.

Making them always on top is hard, but you can resize notepad windows now, and change their foreground and background colour, and font.

You can do that now with a small script - look up the Accelerator script function.

The variables configuration tab will do that, plus you can store tables in Lua. Most other languages have something similar.

There is now a Mud Sound Protocol plugin, see the MUSHclient plugins page.

Hmm, I think he didn't mean defining keyboard buttons but rather control buttons - like the ones which (I think) are implemented in zMud or (I'm sure about that) which you can put in Access forms.. Actually, it would be real cool if there was a customizable toolbar available where we could put our own controls.. but as I've no idea about C (or whatever is it that MC is coded with) I don't really know if it's hard/easy to do..
Another thing is that I can't help but notice that the suggestion #392 is not implemented.. or is it? (But I guess that's just the anal side of my personality:P)

I'll take a look at that soon. :)

I'd like to have filtered logging with variable support. For example, I could type

(H:*|M:*|E:*) to be filitered out from the logs, and I could replace it with ^ or something else... which will save me a lot of space in logfiles. ^_^
USA #16
You can simply match a trigger on any of those lines, omit it from the log, and then write it (minus the prefix) to the log file using WriteLog.

Make sure you have the trigger keep evaluating, so you dont break any other triggers you already have that use those lines.
