I'd like to filter text and remove it from the main window and put in seperate window(s) for several things (like channels, tells, clans, etc).

Is it possible to do this other than appending to the notepad? That is all I could find from searching.

What else would you be looking to put it into, besides notepad?

If it's because you want colors, I'm pretty sure the notepad can use colors.

If you want a fully coloured extra window, you can create a dummy world window.

There was a discussion about this in this post:

http://www.gammon.com.au/forum/?id=6551

An example of doing this is below. This trigger matches "Clan: xxx" and omits that line from the main window. It then locates the "clantalk" world using GetWorld, and if found, sends the message to that world.


<triggers>
  <trigger
   enabled="y"
   match="Clan: *"
   omit_from_output="y"
   send_to="12"
   sequence="100"
  >
  <send>
w = GetWorld ("clantalk")

if w then
  w:ColourNote ("blue", "", "%0")
end -- world found</send>
  </trigger>
</triggers>


The above example simply sends the line in the colour blue, however if you want to preserve the original colours, whatever they are, then a slightly more complex method is needed. You need to make a script file (this is using Lua scripting). Inside the script file put this:


function clantalk (name, line, wildcards, styles)

local w = GetWorld ("clantalk")

if w then
  for _, v in ipairs (styles) do
    w:ColourTell (RGBColourToName (v.textcolour), 
                  RGBColourToName (v.backcolour), 
                  v.text)  
  end -- for each style run
  w:Note ("")  -- wrap up line

end -- world found

end


What this does is send any trigger text to the clantalk world, keeping the original colours (it goes through the style runs in the original line).

Now your trigger needs to be:


<triggers>
  <trigger
   enabled="y"
   match="Clan: *"
   omit_from_output="y"
   script="clantalk"
   sequence="100"
  >
  </trigger>
</triggers>


The omitting from output is optional, if you want the line to be in the original window and the other one as well, just don't check "omit from output".

Hrm, this seems to crash Mushclient under wine.

Tried appending to a new world and new note (through manual and gui) and the client crashes.

Will try at home tonite under Windows to verify that just a wine thing.

Which version of MUSHclient are you using, and which action crashes it? Using a dummy world window, or appending to the notepad?

It works in Windows.

Trying to append to notepad or send to another world window both seem to crash in Linux. I am not certain how to figure out the error or problem, as it crashes when trying to do the action on the trigger.

If it works in Windows, I am ok with that as it is a Windows program and I am lucky it runs in Wine.

Sorry Nick, I wish I could be more help.

Using 3.82

Nick thanks for this one. Currently using it to filter out my chat/tells. Switched the plugin around to send the commands back to the main world and it works like a charm. Very convenient when you get spam coming left and right, while trying to pay attention to what's being said.

The SendToNotepad issue is the same issue that's been brought up due to the internal notepad in a few previous threads. Pretty much Wine has an incomplete dll for passing some of the values back and forth between MUSHclient and the internal editor, and this is causing the crash. I'm still trying to figure out which dlls to copy over, and I've tried all the mfc related dlls one by one. So far I've gotten it down to one error instead of three, but it still crashes.

I haven't had any issues with passing things back and forth to worlds, but I go only by world id numbers. Use GetWorldIdList() to see what the worlds are named, then pass things with GetWorldById(). My test for this was an empty world opening to 0.0.0.0, and I used this command in the world connected to the mud I play:
/GetWorldById( "4fbba8187ae44e23234467fe" ):Note( "foo" )

Sure enough, "foo" appeared in the other window with no problem.

Oh, and before I forget: MUSHclient v4.01, Wine-0.9.34
It is much easier to fight for one's ideals than to live up to them.

Alright i can't seem to figure this one out. I've got the channels being sent back properly, and sending information back to the world. my prompt is this:

^(\d+?)h\, (\d+?)m(?:\, \d+?e)?(?:\, \d+?w)? (c?e?x?k?d?b?@?)-

The problem is i just cant figure out how to set it up so that when the channel is sent, it needs to gag the next prompt and then stop gagging. Any suggestions?

Have a trigger that matches the prompt, and omits from output. Give it a name. Set it to disabled initially.

When you need to gag the next prompt, enable this trigger. When the trigger fires it has a small script to disable itself. That way it only does it once.

Thanks Nick. Just called a function to turn itself off and works like a charm. Any idea if its possible that when you send commands back to the main window, it can capture the response and send it back to the filtered window?

I mean like right now i can send commands to the main world such as look, but i would like to see the actual response in the dummy world rather than having to flip back over to the main. anyway to do that whenever a command is sent from the dummy world?

Well I think that is a bit tricky, because "look" can generate lots of lines of output: room description, mobs, exits, objects, etc.

I don't see how you can easily "mark" those multiple lines as belonging to the other window.
