Copying your shown code on its own I find that the error is in line 3:


 eval( Include("D:/Game/Mud/myDoc3-8/plugins/constants.js") );


I'm not familiar with what that does, but I suggest you look it up. If these are the MUSHclient constants you can probably live without them.

Commenting that out, I then get an error (Argument not optional) on this line:


WindowFont (win, "f", "Trebuchet MS", 28, true, false, false, false)


Template:function=WindowFont WindowFont

The documentation for the WindowFont script function is available online. It is also in the MUSHclient help file. 




long WindowFont(BSTR WindowName, BSTR FontId, BSTR FontName, double Size, BOOL Bold, BOOL Italic, BOOL Underline, BOOL Strikeout, short Charset, short PitchAndFamily);


You need two more arguments (Charset and PitchAndFamily).

This is basic stuff. When you get an error message, find the line number, look at what is on that line, and work out what is wrong with it.

The examples on the Miniwindows documentation use Lua, which allows default arguments, so copying and pasting may not always work. It might be easier to use Lua, unless you really like JScript.
