Hi

I play on Aardwolf and I have used Cmud/Zmud for as long I can remember.

Now I have installed the Aardwolf MUSHclient Package from http://www.aardwolf.com/downloads/Aardwolf-Mud-MUSHclientr1802.zip and all is working.

Of all the things I want to do I need my level and tier level,
but I can't find out how to do it, I have read this http://www.aardwolf.com/wiki/index.php/Clients/MushclientGMCP
But that seems very complex for just getting my level from gmcp.

Can someone please show me how to get my level from gmcp and put it in a variable

To do it with gmcp, you'll have to match on packet info which can be interesting but the gmcp link seems to have all the info you'll need to work with.

The gmcpval helper function requires you to first populate a variable called gmcpdata as shown in the section on that page where it shows

function OnPluginBroadcast (msg, id, name, text)

.

To test the data you want, do


res, gmcparg = CallPlugin("3e7dedbe37e44942dd46d264","gmcpval","char.status.level")
loadstring("gmcpdata = " .. gmcparg)

print("My level is "..gmcpdata)

its give me this error:

Run-time error
World: Aardwolf
Immediate execution
[string "Alias: "]:4: attempt to concatenate global 'gmcpdata' (a table value)
stack traceback:
        [string "Alias: "]:4: in main chunk

But I got this to work:

res, gmcparg = CallPlugin("3e7dedbe37e44942dd46d264","gmcpval","char.status.level")
loadstring("gmcpdata = " .. gmcparg)

print("My level is "..gmcparg)

But I was hoping for something like this:

res, gmcparg = CallPlugin("3e7dedbe37e44942dd46d264","gmcpval","char")
loadstring("gmcpdata = " .. gmcparg)

print("My Level is "..gmcparg("status.level"))
print("My Tier is "..gmcparg("base.tier"))

but this give this error:

res, val = CallPlugin("3e7dedbe37e44942dd46d264","gmcpval","char.vitals.hp")
print (val)   -- prints HP

res, val = CallPlugin("3e7dedbe37e44942dd46d264","gmcpval","char.status.level")
print (val)   -- prints level

You could make a helper function:


function getStats (what)
  result, value = CallPlugin("3e7dedbe37e44942dd46d264","gmcpval", what)
  if result ~= 0 then
    ColourNote ("orange", "", "Warning: Could not get stats for " .. what)
    return nil
  end -- if
  return value
end -- getStats

print ("hp",    getStats ("char.vitals.hp"))
print ("mana",  getStats ("char.vitals.mana"))
print ("moves", getStats ("char.vitals.moves"))
print ("level", getStats ("char.status.level"))
print ("str",   getStats ("char.stats.str"))

Some appropriate stat types: GMCP in Aardwolf MUD

I ran that in the Aardwolf client without making any other changes. In other words, that alone should do it.

Nick Gammon Australia Forum Administrator Tue 07 Apr 2015 01:10 AM #8

I should point out these values are strings (not numbers) so you should call "tonumber" if you want to manipulate them as numbers. eg.


if tonumber (getStats ("char.vitals.hp")) < 100 then
  print ("Health low")
end -- if

You can also get the entire group of stats, like this:


print (getStats ("char.base"))

This would print something like:


{
  class = "Warrior",
  race = "Troll",
  clan = "",
  subclass = "Barbarian",
  perlevel = "1000",
  tier = "0",
  remorts = "1",
  redos = "0",
  name = "Adrirabaen",
  pretitle = "",
  }

Now you can turn that into a table like Fiendish suggested, like this:


assert (loadstring ("charbase = " .. getStats ("char.base"))) () 

require "tprint"
tprint (charbase)

The first line turns that string into a table. The other two lines print it, like this:


"tier"="0"
"race"="Troll"
"clan"=""
"subclass"="Barbarian"
"pretitle"=""
"class"="Warrior"
"remorts"="1"
"perlevel"="1000"
"name"="Adrirabaen"
"redos"="0"

Now you can access individual items, eg.


print (charbase.name)  --> Adrirabaen

Nick Gammon Australia Forum Administrator Tue 07 Apr 2015 01:16 AM #9

Ditto for "char.status":


"level"="1"
"pos"="Standing"
"thirst"="90"
"hunger"="90"
"state"="3"
"tnl"="850"
"enemy"=""
"align"="0"

And so on for things like:

char.base
char.vitals
char.stats
char.maxstats
char.status
char.worth

Or get carried away and get everything:


assert (loadstring ("charbase = " .. getStats ("char"))) () 

require "tprint"
tprint (charbase)

Or getStats ("room"):


"info":
  "coord":
    "y"="20"
    "x"="30"
    "cont"="0"
    "id"="0"
  "num"="32520"
  "exits":
    "w"="32521"
    "s"="32535"
    "n"="32519"
  "details"=""
  "terrain"="road_crossroads"
  "name"="Whitewind Avenue at the corner of Faeriefog Lane"
  "zone"="aylor"

Note: The room info may not exist until you have moved at least once.

Thank you for all your reply's, they help me alot

function getStats (what)
  result, value = CallPlugin("3e7dedbe37e44942dd46d264","gmcpval", what)
  if result ~= 0 then
    ColourNote ("orange", "", "Warning: Could not get stats for " .. what)
    return nil
  end -- if
  return value
end -- getStats
--print (getStats("char.status.level"))

Send ("mobdeath " .. tonumber(getStats("char.status.level"))+10 .. " "..tonumber(getStats("char.status.level"))+30)

You could do that, but if you're constantly checking nested values you could just request char once and then index appropriately into the returned table.

Nick Gammon Australia Forum Administrator Fri 10 Apr 2015 07:50 PM #12

That would certainly be more efficient.
