| | I'm attempting to capture text from one or two channels into a miniwindow and I'm not entirely sure how. I'm used to a different client and scripting in MUSHClient so far has really just confused me so I was hoping to get some help in how to create the window properly and how to capture the text to it. Any help you can give me would be greatly appreciated. | | Top |

| | Do you mean scrolling text, like chat, or fixed stuff, like the current room or map or something? |

| | Scrolling text. I want to capture a chat channel to the miniwindow so that I can read it easier rather than trying to see through the long battle scroll I sometimes have when fighting. | | Top |

| This post describes something similar, the only problem being you can't scroll back:

| Is there a way to make it so you can scroll it back? Also, I don't really understand this plugin. I've tried to edit it to suit my needs but I don't think I'm doing it right. Sorry about this, I've only ever done basic things with triggers and this client is confusing me a bit.
Nevermind, I found another page on here and that script seems to work perfectly. Sorry to have bothered you with this. | | Top |

| | I am still quite interested in that idea of having backscrolling in a text-only miniwindow. |

| | Fiendish, you mind telling me how you managed to make it scroll then? I haven't figured it out as of yet. | | Top |

| Sure, but it's easier to start with a demonstration.
Take a look at ...
http://code.google.com/p/aardwolfclientpackage/source/browse/trunk/Aardwolf_Chat_Capture_mw.xml
Keep in mind that it's customized for Aardwolf, relies on the latest movewindow.lua file that isn't yet in the installer (I think it will be in 4.52) but can be gotten from the git repository, and is very much a work in progress.
I still have to fill in the ScrollerMoveCallback function, which deals with actually grabbing the scrollbar shuttle, and am going to work on cleaning it up a bit. The original implementation that I took ideas from is pretty sloppy now that I've spent some time looking at it. But I've got ideas in mind already. Just haven't gotten to writing them down and uploading them. (The shuttle is what I'm calling that block that goes up and down along the scrollbar when you scroll. Does it have a proper name?)
Also, I'd eventually like to be able to grab mousewheel events and use them for scrolling too, but MUSHclient doesn't yet support that.
Features included in this channel capture are as follows:
miniwindow-based
10,000 line backscroll history
message timestamps
optional echo in main window
scroll bar with up/down scroll buttons that indicates amount of scrollback relative to the current amount visible via the shuttle size.
drag bar across the top for re-positioning
mouse-driven resizing tab so you can resize the window during use.
Text dynamically re-flows and the scrollbar shuttle resizes itself as you resize the window. (The text-reflow is currently quite inefficient, but the performance is only really an issue with a lot of scroll history)
If you have specific questions about what's going on, I'm happy to answer. Though if you wait until I'm finished, or if someone else wants to solve the above issues before I get to it, I'm sure I or someone else could help you repurpose the result for your MUD. |

| Edit: I finished the ScrollerMoveCallback stuff.
So now the feature list includes scrolling up and down by grabbing the shuttle. |

| Looks great! Couple of suggestions:
- Click on a line to select or copy it (copying messages is something you do quite often)
- RH click or something to select or copy all (or maybe RH click for a menu, including configure, select all, omit timestamps etc.)

| And maybe make the timestamp grayer (like in the older chat window). It sort of hits you in the eye.
And have an option to omit the original from the main window (oh I see that is in the plugin as an alias). But hey, if we are doing GUI, may as well have a menu. :-) |
