Ilu bro

Mordocai

So, i've come to the darkside and started using mudlet. I have a general tech question, which might have a specific mudlet answer. Is there a generalized way to ensure that my previous command has been processed by Aetolia before I send my next one? I was looking through gmcp and I don't see anything for general use, though it appears Combat Message might be able to be used if it is a combat command. I currently have a .5 second wait after receiving a prompt before I try to send the next command, but that does not appear to work every time.

If it is something that'd be considered, the best thing for me would be if they had a GMCP attribute with the last command the game processed.

Sheirosia

Not really. I guess you could track the commands sent client-side in a table then use gmcp.Core.Ping with a timer check on it.

GMCP docs.

For context, I just started using the Geyser UI template here: http://forums.mudlet.org/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=4098|Geyser to kickstart a UI.

List of questions:

1. Whether in a container or not, I can't get the mudlet mapper to show anything. Currently is in a container via:

GUI.Map_Container = Geyser.Container:new({ name = "GUI.Map_Container", x = 0, y = 0, width = "100%", height = "100%", },GUI.Box1) GUI.Mapper = Geyser.Mapper:new({ name = "GUI.Mapper", x = 20, y = 20, width = GUI.Map_Container:get_width()-40, height = GUI.Map_Container:get_height()-40, },GUI.Map_Container) --the map's default background color is black, so lets blend it in... GUI.Box1CSS = CSSMan.new(GUI.BoxCSS:getCSS()) GUI.Box1CSS:set("background-color", "black") GUI.Box1:setStyleSheet(GUI.Box1CSS:getCSS())

It has the UI elements like choosing how many rooms/exits and area etc. but isn't showing a map. I was under the impression it downloaded aetolia's map so I shouldn't have to do much?

2. Is there a way to properly detect all local communication (emotes, says, murmur, etc) so I can route it to a miniconsole? Remote communications seem pretty easy, and so do murmur/says, but I don't see an easy way to get emotes.
3. Any good uses for buttons? The template comes with them but I'm thinking about removing them as I can't think of a good use for them.

Mordocai

Sorry, bumping this. I know it is still near top of tech talk, but not total discussions. Still haven't figured out the mapper

@Mudlet: Why you gotta go and make things so complicated? >:[

Ugh. So I'm converting my MUSHclient system into a Mudlet version and despite the fact they use the same scripting language (Lua), it's proving to be a long and complicated process. Is there an elegant way of making this alias?

Alias:^disable (tree|focus|endgamecure|fitness|salve|shrugging|smoke|herb|sipper|rebounding|prerestore|clot|parry)$

Script: if (disable.%1 == false) then disable.%1 = true ColourNote ("dimgray", "", "::[ ", "sandybrown", "", "Lilith", "dimgray", "", " ]::", "dimgray", "", " <<> ", "fuchsia", "", "Auto %1", "khaki", "", " is now ", "red", "", "OFF.", "dimgray", "", " <>>") elseif (disable.%1 == true) then disable.%1 = false ColourNote ("dimgray", "", "::[ ", "sandybrown", "", "Lilith", "dimgray", "", " ]::", "dimgray", "", " <<> ", "fuchsia", "", "Auto %1", "khaki", "", " is now ", "green", "", "ON.", "dimgray", "", " <>>") end

That's the MUSHclient version. Here's what I have for Mudlet but it doesn't do anything or give any indication of an error:

Pattern: ^disable (bbt|clot|tree|endgamecure|fitness|focus|herb|parry|prerestore|salve|shrugging|sipper|smoke|system|rebounding)$

Script: if disable.Matches[2] then disable.Matches[2] = false cecho ("<firebrick>::[<a_yellow> Athena <firebrick>]:: <light_gray> " .. Matches[2] .. " has been <red>disabled<light_gray>.") else disable.Matches[2] = true cecho ("<firebrick>::[<a_yellow> Athena <firebrick>]:: <light_gray> " .. Matches[2] .. " has been <green>enabled<light_gray>.") end

Toz

set matches to a temp local var, ref a table+var as table[var]. See how that goes.

Haven

Okay, that worked thanks. Had to change it from disable.matches[2] to disable[matches[2]].

Haven

Nevermind. Figured it out!

Haven

Okay, I can't seem to get this to work and I'm not sure why. I made a Focusing script and everything about it works except for the part where I have the system check gmcp if I have the Focus skill in survival. When I call the information to see what the variable's set to, it comes up nil.

So I guess my question is, for mudlet/gmcp, how do I properly check if I first have a skill in a script?

@Haven how are you checking if you have focusing or not? Like what script are you running/using?

Haven

Here's the actual code for what I got @Nalor:

-- Event Handler: gmcp.Char.Skills.Groups function parse_skillsets() skills = {} for _, set in ipairs(gmcp.Char.Skills.Groups) do local skillGet = string.format("Char.Skills.Get %s", yajl.to_string({ group = set.name })) sendGMCP(skillGet) end send("\n") end -- Event Handler: gmcp.Char.Skills.List function populate_skills() local group = gmcp.Char.Skills.List.group local list = gmcp.Char.Skills.List.list local newlist = {} for i, val in ipairs(list) do list[i] = val:gsub("* ", "") end if group then skills = skills or {} skills[group] = list end end -- Has Skill function function hasSkill(skill) if not skills then return false end if table.contains(skills, skill) then return true else return false end end -- Can focus function function canfocus () return ( stasis.focus and not aff["stun"] and not aff["impatience"] and not aff["death"] and not aff["asleep"] and not aff["unconscious"] and not mode["writhe"] and not mode["morphed"] and not mode["channeling"]) end -- Script to Fire from Prompt function AutoFocus () if not disable["system"] and not disable["focus"] then if (MP > 40) and not limiters.focus and hasSkill(focusing) then if not stasis.herb and canfocus () then Focus() elseif not stasis.salve and canfocus () then Focus() elseif stasis.herb and canfocus () or stasis.salve and canfocus () then Focus() end end end end


When I remove the hasSkill(focusing) from the AutoFocus function, the script fires just fine. Unfortunately, it means that if I'm on an alt or something, my system will still try to focus afflictions away even if I don't have the skill. When I have hasSkill(focusing) in, the script stops firing completely.

So I'm not sure where I'm going wrong here beyond that the problem is in the hasSkill function somewhere.

Setne

Any errors?

Nalor

@haven ooo you did this wrong

if (MP > 40) and not limiters.focus and hasSkill(focusing) then

suppose to be

if (MP > 40) and not limiters.focus and hasSkill("focusing") then

or it might be "Focusing" <<

Ugh... It's always the little things. Thank you. I've been stuck on this for days now.

Nalor

heh, you only use hasSkill(namehere) if namehere is already a variable :P @haven and welcomed

Ishin

So I have this defined in my offense script:

soffense.flaytype = soffense.flaytype or {}

I have this in my flay-miss trigger:

if soffense.flaytype == sileris then
track:t_aff("no_fb")
elseif soffense.flaytype == rebounding then
t.defs.rebounding = false
elseif soffense.flaytype == shielded then
t.defs.shielded = false
end

if t.defs.rebounding then
soffense.flaytype = rebounding

and I have a tester:

echo("test " .. soffense.flaytype)

BUT I KEEP GETTING THIS FUCKING ERROR:


[ERROR:] object: function:
<[string "function syssinStab()..."]:10: attempt to concatenate field 'flaytype' (a nil
value)>

AND I CAN'T FIGURE OUT WHY AND IT'S REALLY PISSING ME THE FUCK OFF. PLEASE HELP.

Trager

Try putting everything like such:

elseif soffense.flaytype == "shielded" then

Quotations around each designation.

Edit: Looking again, it shows something wrong in the function syssinStab(), line 10. Paste it?

Lim

Yeah, use quotation marks. Also, you can use the track:t_remdef("shielded") instead of t.defs.shielded = false. 

Ashmer

^ Above, make sure all of your if soffense.flaytype == "whatever" checks use " ".

Brief note about variable comparisons - variables DO have a defined 'type' as meta data in Lua/Mudlet. That's how it knows you're fucking with it when you try to pass "string" to an ipairs() function.

So, notice how your thing is soffense.flaytype = soffense.flaytype or {}? That's going to define soffense.flaytype as a {} table, not as a "" string, which is what you want. Really, you don't need that initial declaration at all. As long as the soffense table exists, you can just populate soffense.flaytype in your offense script.

Also, see how your definition is

if t.defs.rebounding then
soffense.flaytype = rebounding

?

It needs to be

if t.defs.rebounding then
soffense.flaytype = "rebounding"

Otherwise, it's looking for the VARIABLE called 'rebounding,' which is nil, which is setting soffense.flaytype to nil.

So! Try this in your offense script:

if t.defs.shielded then
          table.insert(prompt.q, "flay " .. tmp.target .. " shield")
          soffense.flaytype = "shield"
          return
end

if t.defs.rebounding then
          table.insert(prompt.q, "flay " .. tmp.target .. " rebounding")
          soffense.flaytype = "rebounding"
          return
end

Edited: I hope that's still readable, with Vanillaforums' code coloring script.

@Trager, @Raeche, @Ashmer - Thanks bros. Made the changes, now to test.

Well, seems to be working perfectly now! Thanks a lot guys!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ishin

Does anyone know what's going on here?

[ERROR:] object: function:
<./mudlet-lua/lua/TableUtils.lua:101: bad argument #1 to 'pairs' (table expected, got nil)>

The thing is, both of my pairs scripts in this instance actually have something. Here are the scripts as they are now and what they return:

function selectAdderVenom(aff)
ioffense.to_envenom = {}

for i, v in ipairs(aff) do
if not t.affs[v] then
table.insert(ioffense.to_envenom, ioffense.to_venom[v])
end
if #ioffense.to_envenom == 1 then return ioffense.to_envenom end
end
end

returns

{
"kalmia"
}

AND


function selectTarot(aff)
ioffense.tarotaff = {}

for i, v in ipairs(aff) do
if not t.affs[v] then
table.insert(ioffense.tarotaff, ioffense.mode[1])
end
if #ioffense.tarotaff == 1 then return ioffense.tarotaff end
end

end

returns

{
"clumsiness"
}

But like, when I try to turn my offense on, I get the error above. If I change the 1 after ioffense.mode[1] to a v, then I return this: {}

Which I don't really understand at all, because the v works in the previous script? They're pretty much identical except for the variable names and such, so I'm pretty clueless and it's just as frustrating as not knowing what was going on with my Syssin stuff last night

Please help.

...and now my Syssin offense isn't working and it's giving me the same error.

Ishin

So I've been reading, and it seems that maybe one of my errors is in gmcp? I do have an 'if gmcp.Char.Vitals.class = "indorani" then in there. Would that generate a 'table expected got nil' or something?

Trager

That might be your issue.

if gmcp.Char.Vitals.class == "indorani" then (two ='s)

Or use:

if o.stats.class == "indorani then

Give it a whirl.

Ishin

I did use == "indorani". I'm just lazy and I'm used to using = from cmud lol. Lemme try the o.stats.

Edit - Nope, didn't fix it. It is shorter than typing all that GMCP stuff out though. >.>

Ashmer

[ERROR:] object: function:
<./mudlet-lua/lua/TableUtils.lua:101: bad argument #1 to 'pairs' (table expected, got nil)>

This means that whatever you're passing to the 'pairs' function is 'nil,' and not a table. This goes back to the meta-data I was telling you about. If you feed anything other than a table to 'ipairs' or 'pairs,' it will throw an error - 'table expected, got nil/string/number/boolean.'

Basically, it sounds like whatever priority you're passing to the venom/aff pick script is nil. I would check that script file in Mudlet for errors that would stop it populating, and make sure that there isn't a typo in the variable name. That's probably what's stopping your Syssin stuff from firing too.

(Quick, someone troll Ishin for PK while his offense doesn't work)

Seurimas

Is there a way to capture everything sent to the server (via send() and manual input) in Mudlet? Considering converting my system from TinyFugue and the ability to do so was rather heavily used to account for various things, but I don't see anything of the sort in Mudlet so far.

Trigru

The Mudlet event sysDataSendRequest receives every raw command sent to the game after parsing. If you know how to set up an event handler (how to do this is covered in a few areas in this subforum), you can capture that input fairly easily.

Setne

The variable command also holds the last command sent to the game. I use(d) the sysDataSendRequest event to capture and log my commands sent to the game.

shouldnt it be == "Indorani" ? I'm pretty sure it's capitalised in the GMCP table. (this does matter)

Also, it's captured in .Status, not .Vitals
