I'm in the market for something better. Here's mine:

It's early morning, you feel exhausted, and you're running. [hp/HP][stun/STUN][mv/MV]

test prompt #1: <%h/%HH %t/%TS %m/%MM %v/%VV>\n\nYou're %w during %e and you feel %O.\n

[early morning|riding: none|ldesc : is whatever.]

I still think the best closure you get in Armageddon is just moving on to the next character.

This is what I use:

<#/#h - #/#v - #/#s - late morning - standing - unarmed - walking>

My prompt is kind of unwieldy. I leave out max numbers for mana and such.

<h/s/t/m/standing/walking/vis/not flying>

I totally dig my prompt.  It took much experimentation.  I'll give the code for it and an example.

< %n | %h/%H HP | %v/%V MV | %t/%T ST | %o/%a | %e >  (Add mana between HP and move if playing a mage)

Example:

< Awesome | 500/500 HP | 900/900 MV | 800/800 ST | sirihish/tribal | late at night >

I had mood on there before. It was usually set to neutral. Plus get what I have no much longer and it has to wrap to another screen.

And I can't make my infobar work right.

That's not a random thought either.

I think this one is awesome, and now I'm using it.

You win Armageddon, congratulations!  Type 'credits', then store your character and make a new one

This is what I use always.  I like the way it looks and I have it set up as an alias... (I used to die and then have to go through logs to remember how I had it set up.)

you did the biggest mistake of your life

HOW would I utilizing a macro system, make a prompt that blinks when I get below a certain health level or stun level or something along that lines? any takes on that?

Woohoo, I was helpful!

I'm considering adding to it--including such things as walking speed, visibility, flight status, etc., where applicable.  Of course, that also makes it crazy long, but I think I may be able to handle it.

That sounds like a lot of useless stuff! Let me fix it for you, tsk.

How can people have more than one line in their prompt? That would drive me crazy, even on a 21" monitor..

I coded something in javascript that tells me what time it is in game without being in it.. Don't need it in my prompt. (Hopefully it's legal, yes?)

Health(100/100) Stun(100/100) Stamina(100/100) [=southern=] [dawn]

For the most part, I try to keep it basic. A single line of prompt. Anything more just seems... Useless?

Actually, I like that idea. I might just start leaving out my max numbers so it "feels" more real.

It's simple, but useful.

The numbers are in this order: HP, Stam, Stun, and MP.

You do not have that item.

i use my customized infobar for mushclient (as seen here.) and thus have no ugly prompt taking up precious space.

magick.

I now regret investing as much time as I have into zmud. Thank you for showing me the error of my ways.

You can do pretty much the same thing in zMUD, I'm sure.

In fact...I think in cMUD you can have customizable little pop-up windows that you can move around, displaying whatever variables you'd like.

Basically, you could put every single option in your prompt, have cMUD/zMUD squelch it and capture all the data to variables, then display it in a separate popup window placed wherever you'd like.

That's what I gather from reading the helpfiles, anyway.  I haven't actually attempted it, because I'm not a code junkie.

prompt <%h/%Hhp %v/%Vmv %t/%Tst | %A %w %s | %a-accented %o | %k | time: %e>\\n

Gagged and placed into the infobar in zMUD because it would look very clunky in the main window.

Just the essentials: prompt <%h/%H;%v/%V;%m/%M;%t/%T>

You can't trust any bugger further than you can throw him, and there's nothing you can do about it, so let's have a drink" Dydactylos' philosophical mix of the Cynics, the Stoics and the Epicureans (Small Gods, Terry Pratchett)

My prompt is stripped down to the bare bones and has been for as long as I can remember.  It goes something like:

<%h/%Hhp - %v/%Vmv - %t/%Tstn>

OR

<%h/%Hhp - %v/%Vmv - %t/%Tstn>(%m)



<9000/9000hp - 9000/9000mv - 9000/9000stn>
