I followed all of the steps for this tutorial. http://www.gammon.com.au/forum/bbshowpost.php?id=7991&page=1

I named my new world newchat, i changed the line to newchat. I save the plugin and started it with the world i just made still open and it doesn't work. If i close the window, the plugin does not open one as the forum post implies. Help?

The server i made is called newchat. I'm using windows10. I think it has to do something with the VirtualStore in windows or how windows saves the worlds.

Can you open the "newchat" world and then do this, please?

Template:bug

Please provide a summary of your world configuration:

Either use the scripting Immediate window (Ctrl+I) to execute: Debug ("summary")
or
Install the Summary plugin (see "Summary" feature) and type "summary"

Then copy the resulting information from the output window, and paste into a Forum message.

You need version 4.55 onwards of MUSHclient to do this.

This is what you are trying to match on:


Mithrandir tells you, 'go for it'
You say, 'can you just use say'
You say, 'and talk to me'
You say, 'literally anything'
Mithrandir says, 'k'
You exclaim, 'thanks!'

But your triggers are:


   match="^[A-Za-z]+ (says|chats|yells) \'(.*?)\'$"
...
   match="^You (say|chat|yell) \'(.*?)\'$"

It isn't going to match. There is nothing matching "tells you" or "says,". Triggers have to match exactly.

If you change the triggers part of the plugin to the following, it works better:


<!--  Triggers  -->

<triggers>

  <trigger
   enabled="y"
   match="^[A-Za-z]+ (says|chats|yells), \'(.*?)\'$"
   regexp="y"
   script="redirect"
   sequence="100"
  >
  </trigger>

  <trigger
   enabled="y"
   match="^[A-Za-z]+ tells you, \'(.*?)\'$"
   regexp="y"
   script="redirect"
   sequence="100"
  >
  </trigger>

  <trigger
   enabled="y"
   match="^You (say|chat|yell), \'(.*?)\'$"
   regexp="y"
   script="redirect"
   sequence="100"
  >
  </trigger>

</triggers>

I added the comma after says/chats/yells and also added a trigger for "tells you". You can tweak the triggers or add to them if other things are not matching.

thanks, I'll update my plugin accordingly. I don't get error messages about the world not opening but it doesn't automatically open.

The plugin opens the world if the trigger matches. If the trigger doesn't match the world won't open.

I'm confused. I thought that was a sql db thing? That plugin is the only one I have installed. I haven't received this error before using this plugin.

It is in the program files directory. How do I fix this problem?
