Yeah, I think that it's being caused by trying to mess with telnet (which I don't know much about) using someone elses code. I havn't been able to figure out exactly what's going wrong.

I am getting the "Previous line had a bad UTF-8" line. I see it shortly before the dialog comes up.

I'm honestly not certain if I'm calling regex from script handlers or not when the error is occuring.

That dialog looks like an error from the regular expression matching, however it shouldn't be even trying that if you got the earlier message about:


Previous line had a bad UTF-8 sequence at column <whatever>, and was not evaluated for trigger matches


The whole point of that message was to stop trigger errors like you are seeing. Are you calling the regular expression handler from a script?

If I may say, you seem to be injecting bad UTF8 codes into the input stream, if you fixed that problem the other ones would go away.

This is a screenshot of the dialog I get when I catch a bad UTF.

When I get the box again, I'll make certain to post the contents here.

I think the problem has to do with me messing with telnet being sent to me. I play the IRE games, which send a hidden command through telnet that displays all the vitals, in more detail than the prompt gives. The problem started not long after I implemented the system, but it doesn't have any support for creating such a dialog.

I tried forcing through a bad UTF-8 sequence, and only got an inline message, like this:


Previous line had a bad UTF-8 sequence at column 48, and was not evaluated for trigger matches


What did the modal dialog box say?

Anyway, why are you getting bad UTF-8 sequences? Do you have UTF-8 turned on for a MUD that doesn't support it? Or is the MUD server sending bad sequences? Surely that needs looking into?

I just checked the code, the message about bad UTF-8 sequences only appear in one spot, namely here:


  // check for bad UTF8 in the line - otherwise all triggers will fail
  if (m_bUTF_8)
    {
    iBad = _pcre_valid_utf8 ((const unsigned char *) (const char *) strCurrentLine, 
                             strCurrentLine.GetLength ());
    if (iBad >= 0)
      {
       m_iUTF8ErrorCount++;

      // every 128 lines, warn them

      if ((m_iUTF8ErrorCount & 0x7F) == 1)
        ColourNote ("white", "red", 
          TFormat ("Previous line had a bad UTF-8 sequence at column %i, and was not evaluated for trigger matches",
            iBad + 1));
        }

    }


You see it does a ColourNote, not a modal dialog box.

Actually, the error that I get isn't an error from the script, but rather a UTF-8 error. When the mud sends a bad UTF code two things happen: a message is printed to the screen telling me that there was a bad UTF-8 code in the previous line, so it was not processed. Then, when the next line comes up, a modal dialog is displayed telling me the exact same thing.

Worstje put you on the right track for fixing that. As for the dialog boxes, that isn't particularly easy to make them all modeless. In fact, modeless dialogs are a bit of a pain, they tend to get hidden under other things and you forget you have them open.

You can always run two copies of the client - one to grab stuff from the output window, the second one to configure.

Actually... he was on the right track, except he sent you in the wrong direction. :)

Take a look at Configuration -> Scripting, and check the 'Note Errors' box.

This won't fix your modal dialogs problem, but it will get rid of the scripting error dialog jumping into your face while you are playing.

Ah, no. That simply prints a notification that you were unable to connect to a world to the output screen, rather than using a dialog to do so.

What I'm looking for is all dialogs and windows within mushclient to be non-modal, meaning you could keep the window open and allow it to fall to the background, rather than having to close it.

Where do you find the option?

And, from the sounds of it alone, I don't think so, but I need to try it out first.

There's an option for "Notify to output window", is that what you want?

I haven't taken the time to read through the entire thread, so forgive me if this request has already been made, but...

I would really appreciate the dialogs in MUSH being made non-modal. Especially, but not limited to, the config dialogs. It would make my life much easier to be able to copy and paste from my output window without needing to close the triggers window entirely.

Also, every once in a while I get a misc. dialog from my system (a bug) that I have to close manually... interrupting combat flow.

If people like the modal windows, why not give an option for it?

After setting that option, you have to restart the client.

I've tried that, But I don't see any difference. I don't see it putting any tabs anywhere. I still have to minimize them one at a time and pull up the right one.
