I'm looking for a plugin that will play a noise or something similar if a window in mushclient that I have minimized gets output. Also, something that would automatically save all logs to a folder with each time I open a specific world to have it's own log that is named with the world name, a date and time. If these already exist, I haven't been able to find them. And if they don't how hard would it be to learn to code them, as I have no previous knowledge of XML or mushclient plugins.

For the logging, you don't need a plugin at all. Just go to the General->logging section in the world configuration window (alt-3) and take a look at the help window. You can set the log file to be something like this:
c:\foo\%N_%Y-%m-%d

That will have the log saved so that if you sort all of the files, they will be grouped by world name, and be in chronological order.

I think I figured out the sound one. Have a trigger match everything just match="*", then have the following sent to script:


If GetInfo(238) == 6 then
  Sound("ding.wav")
end

This example used Lua, so if you have a different language set for scripting, you will have to change things around a bit to work. http://www.gammon.com.au/scripts/function.php?name=GetInfo for more help with the GetInfo function... there's a LOT in there.

Thank You! But will the sound one only work on a window in Mushclient I'm not looking at? I don't want it to beep every time something new happens in a window I'm looking at.

hrm... I ran into an odd problem. I tried making that trigger to test it out, and I can't get it to play a sound.

if GetInfo(238) == 3 then Sound("C:\windows\media\ding.wav") end

The above will cause a ding to be played if I run it in the command line, but it will not work if I put it in a trigger. If anyone could explain this, I'd appreciate it.

Figure I might as well post the trigger too.

<triggers>
  <trigger
   enabled="y"
   keep_evaluating="y"
   match="*"
   name="testsound"
   send_to="12"
   sequence="1"
  >
  <send>if GetInfo(238) == 3 then Sound("C:\\windows\\media\\ding.wav") end</send>
  </trigger>
</triggers>

A quick test of what GetInfo was actually returning shows that you need to test against 2 (Showminimized).

This works:


<triggers>
  <trigger
   enabled="y"
   keep_evaluating="y"
   match="*"
   name="testsound"
   send_to="12"
   sequence="1"
  >
  <send>
if GetInfo (238) == 2 then 
  Sound ("ding.wav") 
end
</send>
  </trigger>
</triggers>

When I was testing it though, I was using a maximized window. I just wanted to make sure that the trigger would work before trying it minimized where I couldn't see errors popping up. GetInfo(238) returned a 3 for maximized, so I tried if GetInfo(238) == 3 then Sound("C:\\\\windows\\\\media\\\\ding.wav") end out in the command window, and it worked. However, the trigger I showed did not work, even though if I put a "Note(GetInfo(238))" in there, it returned 3, which is what I was testing for.
