Is there any way to create another window that pops up when you get a tell?

Perhaps make each individual person get their own pop up window when they send you a tell, and tells from the same person pop into the same box, until you close it?

Its hard some times to keep tells straight, and I know ZMUD has a way that it can be done.


Thanks.

Make a trigger, and make it "send to notepad", sending each one to an appropriate window (or all to one). Here is an example:


<triggers>
  <trigger
   custom_colour="2"
   enabled="y"
   match="Nick tells you '*'"
   name="Nick_tells"
   send_to="5"
   sequence="100"
  >
  <send>%0</send>
  </trigger>
</triggers>


The exact format of the match text will depend on the MUD - in this case it is from Dawn Of Time, which put the tell in quotes. What this trigger will do is append the tell to a separate notepad window, titled "Trigger: Nick_tells".

This example is for a window per person, to put all tells in one window, replace the word "Nick" in the match text by an asterisk, eg.


match="* tells you '*'"
