Hello everyone.

I'm a long-time shareware user of Mushclient.. and I've gotten years of nice service from it. So first, I want to kiss-up and thank Nick for the awesome client, and the others for some spectacular plugins!

Now that I've sufficiently browned up my carrot nose.. I have a question about the tell window plugin. I play on Lost Wishes and I can't seem to get this to work. I've tried it dozens of times and I still can't seem to even get the plugin to work.

I've installed and enabled the plugin on my main "LW.mcl", and I created LW2 for the chat redirection window. I've resized all of my windows and gotten everything ready...but no dice. It doesn't seem to work at all. I'm using version 4.37... but I don't think that could be the issue... right?

Is there something I'm missing below?

Thanks guys!

When you say it doesn't work, do you get an error message, or does nothing seem to happen?

If nothing seems to happen, can you post example output? The triggers need to match exactly for something to happen.

Nothing at all is happening. The Chat window just stays blank.

The lines I was trying to redirect are like this:

You say: Cool
Frosty says: Cool
Frosty tells you: test
You tell Frosty: test
You shout: Happy Birthday!
Frosty shouts: Happy Birthday!
[chat] Frosty: woo
{Wayfarer} Frosty exclaims in mock pain.

I apologize in advance for being quite the dimwit when it comes to anything regarding actual code. I barely made it through BASIC about 15 years ago..heh.

I hope this helps? I tried to edit it several different ways and still nothing seems to be transferring over or anything. It's almost as if it's not even installed or enabled. (which it is..I've made sure of that numerous times.)

Thanks in advance for any assistance.. and kudos on the great work with the client!

Your problem is the trigger match. In the case of the plugin it is:


match="^(\(.+\): )?[A-Za-z]+ (says|yells|tells you), &quot;.+"


Now that is going to match something like:


(General): Nick says, "hi there"

or

Nick says, "hi there"


Note the comma after "says", and the chat stuff is quoted.

You have said you get:


Frosty tells you: test


So you don't have the comma, you don't have the quotes, but you do have a colon.


You need to rework the trigger a bit until it matches, for example:


match="^(\[.+\] )?[A-Za-z]+ (says|yells|tells you): .+"

Thanks for the help. I've re-worked it a few times.. and now text will redirect to the chat window.. however.. now it appears that everything goes over to the new window. I've spend a few hours off and on trying to fix it.. but I'm not sure what else I could be missing.

I've taken a screenshot here and thought maybe I'd see if you could see if there's something else I could do with the original plugin code that I had pasted earlier.

Paste the triggers you are using. Nick's trigger should not be causing that for as far I am able to tell.

This line is probably responsible:


omit_from_output="y"


That omits the matching line from the original window.

Thanks for the help guys. I just added an "n" to the omit frmo output and it's letting tells and says go to the other window.

I'm wondering one other thing: Where can I go to learn about scripting? I usually just luck my way into figuring out some scripting (usually checking out other scripts), but I'd rather just learn how to do them myself..heh.

Thanks again.

Well... I thought I had it all sorted out. After I reinstalled and enabled it..the script works until a tell/say/chat is redirected into the other window. then afterwards, all text goes over to the new window as well.

I'm not sure what I'm missing here...heh.

One of those triggers has omit from output as Y and the others as N.

You might want to change all of them.

Hey guys, I'm also having a minor problem with the chat plugin.


I'm trying to redirect group tells which look like this:


Person (100%) tells the group: 'Hi.'


It doesn't seem to be working because of the (100%) bit, which I tried adding myself but couldn't figure it out.

The numbers also change as it is a representation of the person's HP percentage.


Any help is appreciated.

Thanks

These are the triggers that I have, the first one being the problematic one.

\([0-9]+\%\) is what I imagined would work, but doesn't seem to.


Thanks again.

In your trigger you have "tells" but the example you pasted had "tells the group:". Thus it won't match.
