Pretty simple question, but most of the plugins I come across do not work for New Worlds Ateraan. I was wondering if anyone had any simple little plugins that they can direct me towards that work for this game?

It might help to know what sort of thing you are looking for. Most plugins are designed to solve a specific problem (eg. quest timer, count mobs killed).

Also, unfortunately, in many cases they are specific to the message from the MUD. So, if a quest timer looks for "You have started a quest" coming from the MUD, but your MUD sends "The quest starts now" then it won't match, and won't do anything.

Some of the plugins on the plugins page do useful things like show health bars, but you probably have to customize the plugin to match the prompt line from your MUD.

Try:

And also some general plugins (and plugins from other authors):

A health/mana/endurance bar would be very nice to have. I also have tried to mess with the exit plugin, but the exit string for New Worlds isn't static, it changes from room to room. It may say "There is one obvious exit: east." or it may also say, "Obvious exits : north, south, west and east."

Well that's not an insurmountable problem. You basically need two triggers:


There is one obvious exit: *

Obvious exits : *

It poses a big issue for me, since I am very ignorant when it comes to scripting. :p

I understand the basics of how things work. I understand it enough to look at an example and tweak it a little to fit my needs. For example I tweaked the "cool down buttons" plugin to work for each of my characters and to display the pictures I needed, with the cooldown times that I required for each spell. What I couldn't figure out with that plugin was how to add dropdown buttons that I could change to do what I wanted.
