| | I'm always opening a Quick Connect, and entering the same address and port as my current world, as of I need to test things with another character. What about in the Quick Connect dialog box, you add a drop down box, that has all the open worlds listed, and a button that if clicked, will fill in the address, port, world name of the selected open world? |

| How about this? This is an alias that will do that if you type "newworld".
<aliases>
<alias
match="newworld"
enabled="y"
echo_alias="y"
send_to="12"
sequence="100"
>
<send>filename = "c:\\newworld.mcl"
Set fs = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set file = fs.CreateTextFile(filename, vbTrue )
file.Write "<?xml version=""1.0"" encoding=""iso-8859-1""?>" & vbCrLf
file.Write "<!DOCTYPE muclient>" & vbCrLf
file.Write "<muclient>" & vbCrLf
file.Write "<world defaults=""y"" " & vbCrLf
file.Write " name=""" & WorldName & " (copy)"" " & vbCrLf
file.Write " site=""" & WorldAddress & """ " & vbCrLf
file.Write " port=""" & WorldPort & """ " & vbCrLf
file.Write "/>" & vbCrLf
file.Write "</muclient>" & vbCrLf
file.Close
Set fs = Nothing
world.Open filename</send>
</alias>
</aliases>
You may like to change the first line in the "send" text (the filename) to be something better (eg. add a number to it or something).
What this does is write a small text file like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<!DOCTYPE muclient>
<muclient>
<world defaults="y"
name="Your current world name (copy)"
site="your.current.world.address"
port="4000"
/>
</muclient>
It then uses the world.Open command to open it, thus effectively creating a new world with the same settings as the world from which you execute it.
In a couple of minutes' work you could bang the whole thing into a plugin, make it a global plugin, and then the "newworld" alias will work in whatever world you have currently open.

| That particular alias was written to use VBscript - is that the language you have the scripting set to?
If not, I can turn it into a plugin that will use VBscript (or, change the script language yourself). |

| Here is a Lua version of the same thing:
<aliases>
<alias
match="newworld"
enabled="y"
echo_alias="y"
send_to="12"
sequence="100"
>
<send>
do -- keep variables local
local filename = GetInfo (67) .. "newworld.mcl"
local f = io.output (filename) -- create world file
assert (f:write [[
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<!DOCTYPE muclient>
<muclient>
<world defaults="y"
name="Your current world name (copy)"
site="your.current.world.address"
port="4000"
/>
</muclient>
]])
f:close () -- close world file now
Open (filename) -- now get MUSHclient to open the world
end -- of do
</send>
</alias>
</aliases>
This one uses GetWorld (67) to open the world file in the current MUSHclient worlds directory. |
