| What would it take to get you to revisit Ruby? I am a long time Ruby developer and would love to see this in MUSHClient.
In the last post I saw about this you reported this error:
# --> undefined method `nickgammon' for #<Module:0x1b65038>
You could try defining a the script within a module
module NickTest
def nickgammon
@world.Note("Hello World!")
end
end
If you are willing to check it out again, I'd be willing to hash out any errors you run into. | | Top |

| I am not sure which version of Ruby I had installed - I got the latest one (1.8.6.2) from this page:
http://arton.hp.infoseek.co.jp/index.html
Namely this file:
http://arton.hp.infoseek.co.jp/ActiveRuby18.msi
However the file ActiveRuby18.msi was what I had last time. The old one was 4.50 Mb, the new one is 14.3 Mb, so obviously there are changes.
Before installing the new version I re-enabled it in MUSHclient and tried a test. Typing this into the command window worked:
/ @world.Note("Hello World!")
(Slash is the scripting prefix).
My earlier test file had this as a test trigger:
def mytrigger (name, line, wildcards)
@world.Note (name)
@world.Note (line)
end
It compiled OK, but reported that there was no script function mytrigger.
I then did what you suggested and added a module to it:
module NickTest
def mytrigger (name, line, wildcards)
@world.Note (name)
@world.Note (line)
end
end
That compiled OK too, but still couldn't find "mytrigger".
I then installed the latest Ruby (1.8.6.2), and then attempting to start MUSHclient resulted in an immediate crash with an access violation.

| I then uninstalled the latest version which crashes, and tried an earlier one (1.6.8.3):
http://arton.hp.infoseek.co.jp/ActiveRuby.msi
That seems to work (in the sense that it doesn't crash the client), and will display the "hello world" in the output window, but still doesn't recognise the "mytrigger" function.
My guess is that it isn't exporting things defined in Ruby to be available to the "outside world" - which is required if MUSHclient is going to call scripts by name.
I don't have a big problem with leaving it enabled, so you can try to experiment with it and get it to work.

| Nick,
Which ActiveScript DLL are you using?
RScript.dll or GRScript.dll? | | Top |

| after reading up on it, you are probably using the regular RScript.dll. GRScript registers everything on the global level....

| My quick answer is that I don't know. When you install Ruby, it links a DLL with "rubyscript" as the script engine. Thus the only word I needed to add in MUSHclient was "rubyscript" (plus various places where you get a choice of script engines).
I would have to check with RegEdit to see which DLL was actually registered by the Ruby installer. |

| OK, I am getting a bit closer. It wasn't particularly obvious that I should have used "GlobalRubyScript" rather than "RubyScript".
Doing that seems to partly fix the problem. Now if I make a trigger it recognises that "mytrigger" exists in the script file, and thus the trigger can be added OK. However now it doesn't recognise the world functions:
Script error
World: SMAUG
Execution of line 3 column 1
Function/Sub: mytrigger called by trigger
Reason: processing trigger ""
undefined method `Note' for nil
This is my script:
def mytrigger (name, line, wildcards)
@world.Note (name)
@world.Note (line)
end
I am presuming now that it needs to be told about the "world." functions somehow.
To recap, with "RubyScript", I could do this:
/ @world.Note ("hi there")
However, function names were not exported. With GlobalRubyScript function names are exported but "world" names are not imported.

| world will probably be a global now, not an instance.
Try $world.Note instead of @world.Note. | | Top |

| maybe just use
world.Note might work as it is a local variable, as everything is global it would make sense that it could be just local now.
However it may be $World and not $world?
Lastly there are class variables...
@@world
----
GRScript.dll (progid="GlobalRubyScript") is an engine just fit for Windows Script Host Scheme.
It has no capability to handle multiple IActiveScript interface, but very similar environment to original Ruby.exe. Because the script evaluate always in the top level context, with global name space.
In addition with CScript (not WScript), you can use STDIN/STDOUT.
* Imported Objects are referenced as Global Variable. In Ruby, the global variable starts doller sign, so
sample script:
$WScript.Echo "Hello World !"

| None of those variations work, plus when I use GlobalRubyScript, for some strange reason, I can't connect to the world any more.
I get an error "Unable to create TCP/IP socket for "SMAUG", code 10022 (Invalid argument)".
Somehow Ruby is making TCP connections fail. I have to close and re-open MUSHclient before I can connect again. |
