Can you show the whole inventory list to put it into context please? Including the first line or two that is *not* in the inventory.

This should work (two lines changed in bold):

wait.make (function ()  -- coroutine starts here


local win = GetPluginID () .. ":inventory"
local font = "f"

if not WindowInfo (win, 1) then
  WindowCreate (win, 0, 0, 0, 0, 6, 0, 0)
  WindowFont (win, font, "Lucida Console", 9)  
end -- if

-- request inventory

Send "inventory"


-- wait for inventory to start

local x = wait.match ("*You are carrying:", 10, trigger_flag.OmitFromOutput)

if not x then
  ColourNote ("white", "blue", "No inventory received within 10 seconds")
  return
end -- if

local inv = {}
local max_width = WindowTextWidth (win, font, "Inventory")

-- loop until end of inventory

while true do
  local line, wildcards, styles = wait.match ("*", 0, trigger_flag.OmitFromOutput)

  -- see if end of inventory

  if not string.match (line, "^     ") and
     not string.match (line, "^%([ %d]%d%) ") then
    break
  end -- if

  -- save inventory line
  table.insert (inv, styles)
  -- work out max width
  max_width = math.max (max_width, WindowTextWidth (win, font, line))

end -- while loop

local font_height = WindowFontInfo (win, font, 1)

local window_width = max_width + 10
local window_height = font_height * (#inv + 2) + 10

-- make window correct size

WindowCreate (win, 0, 0, window_width, window_height, 4, 0, ColourNameToRGB "#373737")

In response to a query about how to move the window around, I have changed the alias into a plugin, and added a few extra lines that allow you to drag the inventory around by clicking on the top line (the one with Inventory on it).

Template:saveplugin=Inventory_Miniwindow_Demo

To save and install the Inventory_Miniwindow_Demo plugin do this:

Copy between the lines below (to the Clipboard)
Open a text editor (such as Notepad) and paste the plugin into it
Save to disk on your PC, preferably in your plugins directory, as Inventory_Miniwindow_Demo.xml
Go to the MUSHclient File menu -> Plugins
Click "Add"
Choose the file Inventory_Miniwindow_Demo.xml (which you just saved in step 3) as a plugin
Click "Close"

If you use this, remove your alias otherwise you will have two lots of inventory windows (the alias is now in the plugin).

Is there any way to remove the output from the screen because when I get all from backpack it overloads and boots me. And I cant seem to get the solution posted here to work where you edit the lua.wait file. PLEASE HELP ME.

end -- for
y = y + font_height

end -- for each inventory item

WindowShow (win, true)

end)

Using Ver. 4.43

This is the script im using it creates the window fine I just cant figure out how to remove the inventory from the output and leave it in the miniwindow.

That seems like it should work. You're passing trigger_flag.OmitFromOutput to wait.match, and I just looked and it does properly pass that flag to MUSHclient. So it shouldn't be visible, unless it's not matching at all.

Also, what you said here confuses me:

Leonhardt said:

By "boots me", do you mean that the MUD actually disconnects you? That's not something we can fix by gagging output. Gagging just hides things client-side, it changes nothing about what's sent between the client and the MUD.

Version 4.46 had the stuff in wait.lua that omits the inventory from your output. I suggest upgrading.

The latest version is available from here:

Is there a way to slow down input to the mud for getting/putting thing in backpacks like how you can for speedwalks?

Can you start a new thread please? This is not directly to do with making a window showing your inventory.

Having trouble getting my inventory miniwindow to end the list at the prompt.

Heres my prompt:

[Cor:5000 Ener:9000 Blood:7316 ]>

Heres my trigger:


Send "inventory"
  
  
  -- wait for inventory to start
  
  local x = wait.match ("*You are carrying:", 10, trigger_flag.OmitFromOutput)
  
  if not x then
    ColourNote ("white", "blue", "No inventory received within 10 seconds")
    return
  end -- if
  
  local inv = {}
  local max_width = WindowTextWidth (win, font, "Inventory")
  
  -- loop until end of inventory
  
  while true do
    local line, wildcards, styles = wait.match ("*", trigger_flag.OmitFromOutput)
  
    -- see if end of inventory
  
    if string.match (line, "^[Cor*") then
      break
    end -- if
  
    -- save inventory line
    table.insert (inv, styles)
    -- work out max width
    max_width = math.max (max_width, WindowTextWidth (win, font, line))
  
  end -- while loop

Heres my error message:

Lua regular expressions (and indeed MUSHclient ones) don't allow for solitary square brackets like that since they have a special meaning. They need to be "escaped". For regular expressions in triggers you put a backslash in front of them. For string.match you put a % symbol in front of them.

So, change:


    if string.match (line, "^[Cor*") then

to:


    if string.match (line, "^%[Cor") then

Ah see I just realized that when I pasted it on the forum, it didnt appear, but I knew it had to be escaped and used the backslash character right before the [, as outlined in
