From memory, %ld (L-D not one-D) for a long, and %i for an int.

You could conceivably open an entire new instance of MUSHclient on your separate monitor, and send stuff from the main one to the extra one using UDP packets (or some other method). Then the second instance could still use miniwindows, if you are comfortable using them.

Well, as Nick mentioned in that post, that plugin is actually written as a separate program altogether. A MUSHclient plugin is used to communicate between the two programs through a UDP socket connection. That's a perfectly valid approach, and indeed opens up its own unique possibilities, but it's entirely different from miniwindows.

Hmm, ok.

I did find an old link that Nick had about a program he wrote that showed windows outside. I might maybe look at that some.

http://www.gammon.com.au/forum/?id=4951

Dunno if that's something I can use or not.

also, if you want to see what I've done so far, here's the links:

You can connect to admud.com port 1999 and load those plugins to see them.

That would be cool, but no. Miniwindows are simply script-drawn images rendered straight onto the output window itself. To create disassociated miniwindows, I suspect you'd need to give each one its own Windows window (though I don't know for sure), and the implementation of hotspot events would become markedly different. You might be able to extend MUSHclient across both monitors, and put your miniwindows in that space, though.

I would be displaying what is received (by using the tprint in the plugin) to see if you are getting what you expect.

I can't directly test what you have done because I don't have things like get_hitroll in my version.

If the printf won't handle more than x variables (and I don't know if this is true or not) you could always just append the extra things like I did underneath where I appended extra stuff if you are fighting.

I would also check that the data type corresponds with what you have in the printf. For example, I thought that %d was used for a short, but if the data is long (eg. ch->pcdata->bank_coins) then it might throw things out.

The blocked out parts are what I added when it started messing up plugins.

Can I send too much data?

I added in a few more stats to put through into a plugin and I ended up messing up all my plugins. It wasn't until I took those changes out that my other plugins would work correctly again.

I added in 9 new arguments for the show_status, all ints, and it messed everything up. Could I be sending to much data or did I just mess up somewhere?

Ok. I have this:


    WindowText (win, FONT_ID, string.format ("Plat  : %10.i  Bank Plat  : %10.i", t.plat, t.bpp), left, 5, 0, 0, ColourNameToRGB "white")	
    WindowText (win, FONT_ID, string.format ("Gold  : %10.i  Bank Gold  : %10.i", t.gold, t.bgp), left, 17, 0, 0, ColourNameToRGB "white")  
    WindowText (win, FONT_ID, string.format ("Silver: %10.i  Bank Silver: %10.i", t.silver, t.bsp), left, 29, 0, 0, ColourNameToRGB "white") 
    WindowText (win, FONT_ID, string.format ("Copper: %10.i  Bank Copper: %10.i", t.copper, t.bcp), left, 41, 0, 0, ColourNameToRGB "white")


And this is pretty much how I want it, but if they have zero type coins on their person then it doesn't show 0, it just doesn' t show anything.

Example:

My char has 12 plat, 5 gold, and 3 copper on him. 4 gold in the bank.

It would show:


Plat  :      12  Bank Plat   :     
Gold  :       5  Bank Gold   :     4
Silver:          Bank Silver :      
Copper:       3  Bank Copper :


I'd like it to show:


Plat  :      12  Bank Plat   :     0
Gold  :       5  Bank Gold   :     4
Silver:       0  Bank Silver :     0
Copper:       3  Bank Copper :     0


I tried to do t.bpp + 0 in the string.format but it still didn't show. Any thoughts?

Use different WindowText calls. You can calculate the width a line takes and get the fonts height as well, thus decide where to wrap and print each line manually.

Everything is possible, but this is sadly not the easiest thing. It can quite easily be wrapped into a function though, but problem is that nearly everyone has slightly different wishes on how to wrap, how many lines to show maximum, and so forth.

So I've done this:


    WindowText (win, FONT_ID, string.format ("Plat: %i Gold: %i Silver: %i Copper %i", 
											  t.plat, t.gold, t.silver, t.copper), left, top, 0, 0, ColourNameToRGB "gold")


It puts it all on one line. How do I put a return in there to show on consecutive lines?

I tried \r, \n, and \r\n and it didn't seem to work. What am I doing wrong?

I've added my coin types into the show_status and am trying to figure out how to simply just draw a box with the money types in it. I've looked over health bar and exp bar but didn't really see how to do it. I have been up for almost 24 hours and kinda blurry vision...heh. I'm sure I missed something.
