| Just wanted to let everybody know about some updates:
1.) Paste_As_MU has been renamed to Paste_As_MUSH for better clarity.
2.) GrabPack has been converted to Lua for hopefully universal compatiblity, It only had a very short and simple script in it to set the unique password, so I don't expect any problems, but let me know if there's any bugs.
I hope to convert some of my other plugins to Lua since that seems to be the thing to do lately, but my understanding of Lua syntax is very limited at the moment. Let me know if you guys think it'd be worth wild. | | Top |

| | I discovered the GrabPack plugin had a problem with the grablock code, I have uploaded a fixed version of the plugin to my site. If you have downloaded a previous version of the plugin you should redownload it. | | Top |

| Sorry to dig up an old thread, but I have an update. I've rewritten my QueueControl plugin in Lua. It's available on my website. I had some difficulty getting the syntax right on this one since I'm new at Lua and there /might/ be bugs I haven't found yet, I'd appreciate if you guys could check it out for me. I still have the original JScript version up so you can compare the scripts and let me know if I did it right. Next up, converting the other plugins if I can figure out how. Many won't be that difficult, but at least one will.
Update: Holy cow, I just checked my last post, it's been over a year since I worked on this. | | Top |

| | Ok, update. I'm pleased to announce I've finally gotten around to converting my Paste_As_MUSH plugin into Lua so that everybody should be able to use it. In addition I've rewritten the code so that /any/ character that is repeated a sufficient number of times will be converted into a repeat() call in addition to being escaped if necessary. For those not familiar with the plugin, it can be invaluable for showing code and logs to other people without having to manually go through and escape all the parenthesis and newlines and such. This plugin basically does a decompose()(for those familiar with newer penn) on the contents of the clipboard and pastes the result into the command window so that when it's evaluated by the game it /should/ come out exactly as it is in the clipboard, minus any color. Please try it out if you'd like and give me feedback and let me know of any bugs since I'm relatively new to Lua. | | Top |

| | Another update. When converting my Paste_As_MUSH plugin to Lua I made the honest mistake of keeping the repeated appending code, which apparently in Lua can cause a lot of garbage collection after a while(using almost exponentially increasing amounts of memory.), so longer strings were slowing it down noticably. In v1.2 of my Paste_As_MUSH plugin, I've changed it to use table.insert() and table.concat() and it should be much better now, and it has been uploaded to my site. If you are using an older version please upgrade, as version 1.1 will run slowly with large strings. | | Top |

| I don't know if anybody cares or not. But I have some updates. First of all, I heard from a friend that geocities may be dropping free web hosting near the end of this month, I don't know if it's true or not, but just in case I'm moving everything to my tripod website. I'll leave the geocities site alone for this month but I won't update it. Anyway, the new page for the plugins is http://cagefire2000.tripod.com/MCPlugins/MCPlugins.html
Furthermore, I discovered a tiny bug in Paste_As_MUSH where if you had a single space at the end of the text to encode it mistakenly wouldn't escape it. Normally this wouldn't be an issue in most cases, but I was using the code in another plugin where it had to break it up and run through segment by segment and it caused problems. So I've released version 1.21 on my tripod site(It's not on my geocities, I don't see the point if it's going to be gone in a month.)
Stay tuned, I am working on a plugin that'll let you select text in the output window, click an alias menu option and convert it into MUSHCode /complete/ with color and then it pastes it into the command window. I already have it working, there might be a few bugs or ways to optimize it. Again it's mostly designed for 8bitMUSH, and we now use the extended 256 color ansi that mushclient added support for, but I did write an alternative standard 16 color version in the same plugin that should hopefully work with any pennmush game and supports underline, inverse, and flash. Although the 256 color version does not, as 256 color and standard ansi don't completely mix well on our game. Although with 256 colors to choose from, not many people bother with underline(we mostly use the colors for artwork anyway where underline doesn't matter much). I suppose I could hack it a little, but the output would be a bit larger... maybe in a later version.
The problem with the 16 color version is that if you use any coloring triggers to change text to custom colors then the code can't tell what the original color was and tries to find the closest matching color which does /not/ always work very well. (I don't have any better code for finding how close one color is to another.) For example I have one color that's /looks/ mostly yellow I think it was #FFFF80, but the code changes it to white or grey. The 256 code works great though, but unless your game uses the [color()] function(As far as I know it only comes if you hacked FANSI into your game, and probably wouldn't work with the latest pennmush code as I believe they changed how ansi is handled) then it won't work for you. Well, unless you hack it to use whatever function your game uses, but please inform me if you do.
Anyway, the 16 color version should work on just about any pennmush based game, with the exception of custom colors and if you use MXP or Pueblo for hyperlinks(which changes it to a custom color so same thing) or for color changes.
An interesting quirk is that due to the way mushclient works, if you do something like [ansi(rh,Te)][ansi(rh,st)] even though they come out the same color they are in two seperate style runs which is how the plugin converts them back into two [ansi()] statements. I could possibly fix this, but it'd get complicated fast, involving looking ahead to future style runs and checking if they have the exact same colors and flags, and then joining the text together before escaping it. All in all I don't think it's that big of an issue to bother myself with fixing it. | | Top |

A simple google search led me to the Geocities homepage [1], where it says "GEOCITIES IS CLOSING ON OCTOBER 26, 2009" in a large font.

Okay... I'll admit I didn't read the whole post. But could you put the text into a utils.editbox() call? Would make it easier/cooler.
str = "this is some MUSHcode"
utils.editbox("MUSHcode", "MUSHcode Converted", str)
EDIT: Seems to be a Lua-only extension, and by the earlier discussion I'm not sure you're using it, but it's just one of those nice touches if you are. |

Hmm, sure, it's written in LUA, I've been trying to put all my plugins in LUA lately, even though I don't use the language for anything else. Heck, this is the first time I've even used the editbox. It just never occured to me that since I was using Lua I could use them. I'm not sure why you'd need the edit box, although it'd make editing large logs or whatever easier. Heck, I could alter my Paste_As_MUSH plugin to use it too... Let you edit it before it's pasted into the command window. Or... I have another idea. I'll get back to you. I'm not quite ready to release it anyway. | | Top |

Err, if you want that, I could just have the plugin put it on the clipboard directly... Or I could just make it so that it puts it in an edit box where you can edit/copy it, and if you click ok then it inserts it into the command window, and if you click cancel it does nothing. So if you simply want to copy the code, you just click the command, which brings up the edit box, where you can just copy it, and then click cancel. I could also just make seperate menu options where one is Insert as mushcode, and another is copy as mushcode, and so on.
Hmm, I wonder, with the alias menu, is it possible to make submenus to group commands together, like "Ctrl-Click > Copy As > Mushcode with 16 color" or "Ctrl-Click > Copy As > Mushcode with 256 color"? Or for general use it could be "Ctrl-Click > Attack > Punch" Well, there is a script thing for opening menus if I recall but it was meant for miniwindows. Wait, no you have to specify a miniwindow and I don't feel like having to make a background window just so I can popup a menu. Oh well.
Hmm, all this is making me start to think about editing some of my other plugins to use the edit box and such. Not to mention the other Lua utilities that I didn't have when I first wrote them. I have several ideas now actually. Thanks for suggesting it, I may come out with some new updates.
Sorry for the runon paragraphs I'm not quite sure where to break it up. | | Top |

| | Ok, figured I'd start out with a simple plugin, before I start working on more complicated plugins. So here we go, new on my plugins page. The Edit_Command_Window plugin, almost ridiculously simple to make, but hopefully still useful. What it does is simple, you simply Ctrl-Click to bring up the alias menu. Click Edit Command Window, and the contents of the command window pop up in an edit box. Allowing you to edit large commands/messages that take up a lot of lines. Unfortunately there's no way to keep stuff like Auto-Complete and such that you have in the command window(I never use it anyway myself, but some might), but it's a trade off, for being able to edit large commands without increasing the size of your command window, and thus decreasing the size of your output, and also you don't need to write it in a notepad then copy and paste it into a command window. It's not my most /fantastic/ plugin I'll admit, but it does have it's uses. | | Top |

| | Ok, I only posted the Edit_Command_Window plugin a few hours ago, but if anybody has downloaded it already, I've updated it. The description now explains that to bind it to an accelerator or macro use "Edit_Command_Window", also if unpause on send in the output config is not set it'll pause the output window while your editing the command, also, I forgot to set the omit from command history and omit from log file flags, so they're now in version 1.02. | | Top |
