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

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

This is what I use:

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

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 >

MAX/currenthp MAX/currentmv MAX/currentst, riding: none, late morning>

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.

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.)

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?)

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.

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.

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>
