Apart from all the other issues I mentioned, like giving the function name, in quotes, without the brackets, and without the ":" symbol, I would upgrade:

Ah, I see. It's not very obvious :( I've had a lot of people not know that there's a newer version. Maybe putting <a href="http://www.gammon.com.au/forum/?id=10458">;(Beta: 4.55)</a> in the heading in both places would make it more obvious.

Very few of the usual users I see visit the forums, so the forums notice misses a lot of people too.

[EDIT] An email newsletter every time a version is released sure would be nice, IMO. Just a thought :D

Also on the "main" (top) page of this forum for MUSHclient (http://www.gammon.com.au/scripts/forum.php?bbsection_id=1) is always a link to the latest version. Right now it says:


Version 4.55 of MUSHclient now released.

On the Downloads page just in front of the link to download the file is this announcement:


Want the very latest version?

The version shown on this page is considered the latest stable version. That is, it has been released for a while with no major bugs reported. However often more recent versions are available on the MUSHclient Announcements part of the Forum. Follow that link to see if there is a more recent version announced. Look for a thread with a heading like "Version 4.xx released".


Can't do much more than that.

It would be nice to at least provide a link to the latest "beta" version announcement topic on the front page.

Depends which version he is using I guess. That functionality was added in version 4.46, the "official" version of MUSHclient on the Downloads page is 4.43.

Two things would help here:


  • If you are having problems with stuff like miniwindows not behaving as you think they should, add "check ( ... )" around function calls.

    For example:

    
check (  WindowRectOp(atkwin, 1, 3, 15, 32, 32, ColourNameToRGB("blue")) )


    That at least confirms the window exists, the arguments are in range, etc.

  • Advise which version of MUSHclient you are using


He still would have got errors or mis-behaviour about things like passing a function rather than a function name, so upgrading to the latest version is not the only issue.

Yeah, I was 99% sure that we could do hotspots without plugins for the last few versions, but I haven't tried them yet myself.

Been talking to Mendacitas on AIM, and the issue was that he wasn't doing it in a plugin, getting 30035 as the WindowAddHotspot error code.


Wasn't that changed? I swear that was changed. =/

I changed the hotspot syntax to pass the name of the function, and simplified the function so I could test only the hotspot. Still when I click on the hotspot nothing happens. I wondered if I'd placed the hotspot improperly so I made a rectangle with the same dimensions in the window. Found that I'd made a tiny line for a hotspot. So I worked out the dimensions I wanted with the rectangle, then rewrote the hotspot to fit it. Still, nothing happening when I click inside the rectangle/hotspot.

Just to clarify the difference:


print ("math.abs")     --> "math.abs"    (the name of the function)

print (math.abs)       --> function: 01FDC8C8  (the function itself)

print (math.abs (-1))  --> 1   (the result of calling the function)

I've amended the documentation to make it clearer you pass the name of a function, not a function.

That is the function but not the name of a function.

It's in fact invalid, the : syntax can only be used when calling a function.
