While trying to hunt down a spellup plugin I tried bast's and broke mushclint horridly with jaws anyway. I discovered the following jaws doesn't like gmcp and mini windows. I want a simple spellup plugin that doesn't rely on a bunch of crap to put it bluntly I want something that just darn well works without needing color for goodness sakes I am blind! When I installed the aard client to try to get this working I could no longer get jaws to read when I arrowed through my installed plugins I got angry uninstalled mushclient reinstalled it and am sitting her mad and annoyed that sighted people can have a fully functioning client with spellups and right now I cant. Did I mention it used over thirty percent of my cpu. ridiculous! so now I go off to manually spell myself up while others have a plugin not bloody fair! I want whatever broke my jaws fixed. if anyone can track it down. I am just frustrated it aint the client's falt. I just wish I knew what in that package and in bast's plugins with it broke my jaws. I took it down to nothing but my tts plugin and a couple others and it still was broken so it something they modded. now it works fine if I could just get a simple spellup plugin that didn't throw an error every time I ran it the last one said something about spellups.mcl not existing I hit ok and it still ran but I lost all of that so now starting fresh. that's literally all I need is a spellup plugin and I feel like I am like rock climbing a difficult wall.
Thanks,
Jenni

Sorry about the frustration. Can you be more specific about what doesn't work?

The standard Jaws plugin (if that is what you are using, you didn't say) reads incoming text from the client as it appears on the screen. Now some plugins intercept that text and put it somewhere else, so therefore it doesn't appear on the screen and isn't read out.

Can you state what is happening? Like, under what circumstances things are read out, and when the reading out stops? Like, if you install a specific plugin?

One possibly major issue is that some of the plugins (I'm not sure about the Bast one as I didn't write it) "helpfully" (and I use that word advisedly) put the spellups into a separate miniwindow. Text written to a miniwindow is not read out. It would be hopeless if it was anyway, as they tend to get refreshed very often.

Maybe someone from Aard can give you more advice. Did you ask on the Tech channel?

Jaws isn't reading in the plugins dialog itself. like when I wanna see what plugins I have installed in my world. that and it was using a great load of cpu. I have no idea what broke it. uninstalled that setup and now its working fine I just want a basic spellup plugin that doesn't require a bunch of extra stuff to run. that's the bottom line of what I am asking for and for pointers in the right direction if one exists. something that doesn't require the aard package or color plugins to run. Minni wins don't help me. I just want something that will do its job and break nothing else.

You can see what plugins you have installed by doing this ...

Press Ctrl + I to enter the Immediate scripting window. Hopefully you have Lua as the script language as that is the default.

Then type in this:


for k, v in pairs ( GetPluginList ( ) ) do 
  print ( GetPluginInfo (v, 1) )
end


The capitalization might be hard to get right if you can't see the above, but basically everything is lower case except in the word GetPluginList the words Get Plugin and List are capitalized (initial caps for each word which is part of the function name), and in the word GetPluginInfo the words Get Plugin and Info are capitalized.

Then press the Run button (or press Alt + R).

It should list all installed plugins by name. Then press Escape to dismiss the Immediate dialog.
