  • Can we have fluidcache added to gmcp like our cache is? Or if it is already, does anyone know how to call it or whatever? o.O

    I don't know if someone has said this. But things following you. IE, Ents/players/anything but hidden Syssin people. Would be nice to have a competent way to track ents without having to use 'entourage'. Something I can easily make tables with and parse things and make it so that I can better track it.

    Please refer to bug 9958 though I'll quickly outline the issues here for transparency.

    GMCP is really not being used efficiently and at times, incorrect strings are sent for events. The main thing I have observed is that gmcp.Char.Items.Update is not being used at all for mobile deaths. When a mobile is slain, the server sends a whole slew of .Add and .Remove for both room and inv items, though in most cases, the key strings are incorrect. Most notably, there is a Items.Remove event sent for room_items which takes into account the current state rather than the correct one. For example, in my test, I received a key string for a slain mobile as 'the corpse of a reticulated planthopper' when the correct string should be just 'a reticulated planthopper' - This is where .Update should be used. Secondly we're receiving an inv_items Remove event for the same string. We should not be receiving this at all as no item was ever removed from ones inventory. Again, .Update should be used here, to simply update it's state, along with updating gmcp.Char.Items.Update.item.name.

    Sorry to go on a bit, though I think that's plenty to go on. Hopefully I am not tracking these wrong client-side, though my GMCP functions work across all IRE games, except here.

    Finally, .Remove really could use trimming down. It's inefficient to use so many keys for this but then I'm just back onto the .Update usage argument.

    Tagging @Keroc as apparently you're the person who deals with this stuff!

    Thanks.

    Unrelated and simply treat this as a request, though passing sendGMCP([[Core.Supports.Add ["IRE.Target 1"] ]]) does nothing. Nothing is ever returned and gmcp.IRE always returns nil. Not bothered to deal with Rift tracking as that's all done serverside these days.

    If you're using Mudlet, a far more effective way to get the extra modules is to create a trigger on a correct login sequence ("Password correct. Welcome to Aetolia.") that executes the following:

    gmod.enableModule(yourname, "IRE.Rift") gmod.enableModule(yourname, "Comm.Channel") gmod.enableModule(yourname, "IRE.Time")

    Yeah, I do that already, though personally prefer to stick with the prescribed methods from IRE for explicitly enabling modules rather than a third party namespace function set.

    I probably should also add, you're aware those functions are nothing more than fancy wrappers for Core.Supports.Add and Core.Supports.Remove, right?

    martin@vertex:~/projects/mudlet/src/mudlet-lua
    $ grep -r 'module' *|grep Supports
    lua/GMCP.lua: sendGMCP(string.format([[Core.Supports.Remove ["%s"] ]],module))

    Finally, passing the character name as an argument to enableModule() is not required. registerUser() exists for this purpose which completely negates the need for that initial argument.

  • @Keroc can we please get LEVEL back in GMCP?

    lua display(gmcp.Char.Vitals.charstats) currently only shows

    {
    "Class: Archivist",
    "Bleeding: 0",
    }

    It used to show level but it doesn't no more :/ it's pretty hard to track level without the weird (90%) thing added :/

    To add to this, I get level out of QSC; I run QSC once when I log in, then anytime I receive maxxp different than the last maxxp received. I don't like how level still has to be edited when received though.

    Char.Status { "level": "107 (49%)" }

    Please to be getting just level in Char.Vitals.

    Anyway, can we get something to tag aggressive creatures in GMCP? We currently get:

    { "id": "84782", "name": "a mutilated creature", "icon": "monster", "attrib": "m" }

    The only way I can tell what monsters are aggressive is by using IH, and looking for the red text.

    Neither of these bits of information can be accessed from GMCP alone; you have to tie it to some command in game.

  • I'd love aggro tag for helping other people bash- if it was further swapped to show things targetting you, glorious day for newbies everywhere.

    I'd also like it to show your group/party size in gmcp for basher purposes - if I take 6 guys hunting, I have to go edit my basher manually so I don't bash a room some random is trying to bash in already.

  • I don't know if this already exists (and if so can someone point me to it), but the date would be nice.

  • Can I please please please please please get some sort of gmcp thing that states whether you are dead or not. It's so easy if you're playing a living character, if your hp = 0 then you're dead. As vampire you regen health while dead and can even go into negative health so I have to go out of my freaking way to illusion proof 'you have been slain' messages to obtain the same sort of death checks I could add in as living.

    Please.

  • Herbs in rooms would be nice to have in room info 
  • edited September 2018
    Can we get sand (sand flood) added? It's not super important, but being able to track if a room has sand this way would make life easier.

    I've been informed this is already implemented!

    Any chance of getting golem health (and possibly other GOLEM INFO goodies) added?

    If you need help tracking golem info, hit me up when i'm in the game next. I have some aliases/triggers I can share with you so that you can track it as well.

    Unless they're for CMUD, gonna say thanks but it wouldn't be a help.

    -Your token.
    -If the token is inverted/traced.
    -Current impress on your token.

    Could we get these added in?

    Oh dear God please don't put in premote tracking... That would be a nightmare.

    I am not sure how, in any way, this could be a nightmare. It would literally give you the ability to filter them out. 
  • RhyotRhyot Bloodloch
    They're already filtered out!! I don't want to have to put in code to filter what's already been filtered!!

    And it would be a nightmare because if I'm in a room with dozens of people, I'm going to see everyone nodding their head or whatnot. I don't want to see that. I'd rather it just stick with emotes/thoughts. Premotes have no real value other than a quick reaction.

    Probably not going to get gmcp updates any time soon, but here's my shortlist:
    • Premotes would be nice
    • This may be a tall order, but help file fulltext would be pretty cool. Nexus has a popup helpfile thingie that I really want to emulate in MUDlet but from what I can tell, it's built manually by sending a GMPC ping and then scraping the text and then piping it to a popup, which is a pretty rough thing to emulate in MUDlet.
    • Same as above, but for news posts.

    A little bit off topic, but I wish Nexus used the pop up thing for more stuff in general. It is only used for help files at the moment, but AB Files, News Posts even the Artifact Shop I would love to be able to browse while bashing.

    I'm not really sure what the issue is, you could patch out premotes in like two seconds if it's in the Comm table. Here:
    channelcode = gmcp.Comm.Channel.Text.channel
    if channelcode == "premote" then
       end
    Justifying reduced functionality for people who'd like a feature just because it would mildly inconvenience you personally is meh.

  • I'm either going crazy or 1(or more) items was changed around in GMCP some time recently, the one that I know of being gmcp.Char.Name.name->gmcp.Char.Status.name.

    @Keroc Was there any others?
