Trying to put this on a slightly different prompt. I changed the trigger to this:
  <trigger
   enabled="y"
   name="XPprompt"
   match="\&lt;Health:[([\d,]+)\/([\d,]+)] (Jakai|Chi):[([\d,]+)\/([\d,]+)] Stamina:[([\d,]+)\/([\d,]+)]\&gt; [\d,]+\/[\d,]+xp(.*?)$"
   script="do_prompt"
   regexp="y"
   sequence="100"
  >


Which matches the prompt correctly.

Then I am using wildcards[8] and wildcards[9], but it appears they are both nil values for some reason. wildcards[7] is the last Stamina num, so 8 and 9 should be the XP. Not sure why it's nil.

I only count 8 wildcards, including the rest of the line, see above. Did you forget the brackets?

The bar appears when the trigger matches the prompt line. If it doesn't appear, it hasn't matched.

As I indicated on the first page of this thread, you need to change your prompt in Smaug to show experience. If you haven't done that, try that. Otherwise if it is a different MUD, please show what a prompt line looks like, and what you have changed the trigger to, if anything.

Turn on Game->Trace and see if the trigger is being matched.

The original plugin matched this prompt:


<28hp 100m 102mv 2875/6325xp>


(The numbers may differ).

Yours doesn't look anything like that. For one thing, you aren't showing experience at all.

How can it draw an experience bar, if the prompt doesn't have xp figures in it?

It hasn't alllowed for commas in the numbers. Inside the plugin, change lines 135 and 136 from:


  current_xp = tonumber (wildcards [4])
  max_xp = tonumber (wildcards [5]) + current_xp


to:


  current_xp = tonumber ((string.gsub (wildcards [4], ",", "")))
  max_xp = tonumber ((string.gsub (wildcards [5], ",", ""))) + current_xp


Make sure you reinstall the plugin afterwards (hit the Reinstall button).

That worked for me on your prompt. However I note that both numbers in your example are the same (3,986,839,823,207). As currently written that displays a half-way through experience bar, as it thinks you have 3,986,839,823,207 xp to go.

It seems a bit strange that you are exactly half-way through the level (or completely through, if it is xp/total xp). You may need to remove the "+ current_xp" from the second line. Are you sure you are displaying current xp / maximum xp? Otherwise the bar will always be either half-full or completely full.

You got the trigger to match before, because it caused an error message on the commas. In what way does it "still won't work"?

Do you still get the error message? Or does it simply not display the experience bar? You have to give a bit more information than "it doesn't work" if you want any help.

If you get an error message please post it.

If you are still getting the error message make sure you changed the two lines I said, and reinstalled the plugin. If you didn't reinstall the plugin it is still using the old code.

Most MUDs are different in the way they display prompt lines. You can't expect the plugin to just display information it doesn't actually have, or in a format it doesn't understand.
