Tried using the Chat Plugin found to modify to how chat appears for mud I play.
Chats appear like -

You tell your racewar 'test'
Vof tells you in gnome '.'

Here is what I am using:

What's your question? Is it working? If not, what is happening?
Boen310 #2
It is not working - The redirect is not happening to my open Duris Chat window.
Fiendish USA Global Moderator #3
Those triggers definitely won't work.

Try this instead:


<trigger
   enabled="y"
   match="^You tell your racewar '.*'$"
   regexp="y"
   script="redirect"
   sequence="100"
  >
  </trigger>

  <trigger
   enabled="y"
   match="^[A-Za-z]+ tells you in gnome '.*'$"
   regexp="y"
   script="redirect"
   sequence="100"
  >
  </trigger>


For more than that, you'll need to give more examples of chat messages.

To save me editing all your posts:

Template:codetag
To make your code more readable please use [code] tags as described here.


In your earlier post you had:


<!--  Triggers  -->

<triggers>


That <triggers> line seems to have disappeared from your amended plugin.
Boen310 #6
It's works now but only captures what I am saying. I added a few lines to try and help capture it but its not capturing lines like this:

Vof tells your racewar: 'shrug'

But your trigger is:


   match="^[A-Za-z]+ tells your racewar '.*'$"



The text from the MUD has a colon which your trigger does not have.
