The Mudlet Thread.

[slvrmoontiger]

I've tried the mapper 5 times and every time I tried it it crashed Mudclient. Others have said that the mapper works pretty well with exception to some of the over-lapping type rooms.

[Barzalene]

Will someone be willing to answer all my questions in a messenger or in teamspeak? I need a little hand holding, but I'm strongly considering.

[slvrmoontiger]

I'm not like a mudlet geek, but I'd be happy to assist. If you'd like me to send me a PM and I'll send my AIM.

[Zoan]

I've been working on a mapper, of sorts. It's one of my side-projects I'll get around to.

It's harder than you'd think due to strange messages you get when you move sometimes, like 'Sparse sands scatter in your path.' or whatever it is, and more exotic ones.

[slvrmoontiger]

Mapper causes mudlet to crash on my computer, not sure if its because its linux or just my old computer that's the problem. I tried it one a windows computer and I got it started, but had no idea what to do with it or get it to work.

[Barzalene]

Still dont understand how to highlight entire lines or whether I can convert my zmud XML file somehow.

Try keying on the room title, with its mystic square brackets [NSEW Leave Save Quit].

[Zoan]

Yeah, I guess I'm just more used to IRE-style maps.

[Barsook]

Is it me, or is Mudlet on Ubuntu Linux 14.04 (or any other versions) has a mind of it's own or is not responsive?  The earlier happened today and the latter happened twice on me before.  And was there any updates on it as of April 2014?

[Nameless Face]

I am not figuring out how to get the spellcheck to work on Windows 7 with Mudlet.  M I a dope?

[Barzalene]

Did you download Beta? Because it didn't work for me in beta. I had to go with the older version. Then in settings, input line, check enable spellcheck.

[Nameless Face]

Yes.  3.0.0 Beta.  I feel less stupid.  Thank you.

[Barzalene]

No problem
The logs are a terrible problem for me.
Last night it stopped logging randomly in the middle of my session. Because the buffer is so small I couldn't even go back and recapture it. And the logs themselves are big old walls of text. The logs make me sad.

[Nameless Face]

Barzalene,

You are not filling me with confidence in this journey.

[Barzalene]

Yeah. If mushclient had spellcheck I might just switch. Though, I have a hard time walking away from the split screen option.

[Barzalene]

Wait. That's not true.
I find I really like mudlet. Let's assume I've done something wrong or there was a glitch, or that there is a setting I don't know about. If that is the case, Mudlet is pretty neat. It's easy to use. I find the people on their forums to be really helpful.

[Barzalene]

Fixed. Use wordpad instead of notepad. Do not use html

Yeah, logging on Mudlet is bad.  And mine is somehow off and I can't remember how to turn it back on.  Either I need to update it or switch to some other Linux based one.

[Barsook]

Okay, i finally figured out how to log in 2.1, but is there a way to auto-log every time that I log on to Arm?

[Nameless Face]

Do not use html

Yeah... what's up with that?   This would be great feature if it worked.  I am still setting up my triggers and colorization.  If it logged how things actually looked when they appeared on my screen that would be good.  The way it just pretends to log a bit and then just devours the rest into a sneaky black hole... dirty trick.

[LucildaHunta]

I'm glad this came up again. I just dl'd the latest version and I'm having a hard time setting up triggers so that I can see something that's happening to me in spam. I'm used to mushclient, but the latest version has been really wonky for me, so I want to try something else.

I'm not a codey person, but if someone can give me an example for say "so and so looks at you" I'd be grateful and can take it from there. The whole setup for making triggers just has me confused.

Answered my question:

It's simple, you just don't turn of logging after you turn it on.  When you are ready to close the Mudlet window, say, "yes", to save the profile of the ArmMUD one.

2.1 or the 3.0.0 beta?

3.0 beta

[Barzalene]

I don't know how to make triggers work with variables but this may work in the meanwhile





[lua]
selectCurrentLine()
fg("green")
deselect()
resetFormat()
[/lua]

What this does is select the line the trigger has matched on, sets the foreground (or text) color to green, then clears the selection and resets format so your next triggers/lines come out looking as intended and you don't accidentally bleed into other text.
Instead of overhear you'd use "Looks at you"

[LucildaHunta]

Thanks, that looks easier than I thought it would look!
