The Geyser docs are pretty good, I thought. They start with the introduction of containers then build up to creating a full-fledged interface. A big helper is the use of the flash function when you're building containers. bottomDisplay:flash…
Someone asked me if there was a way to look at the code in a function without having to pull up the editor. Figured I'd share it. debug.getinfo(foo).source
If I'm getting it right, she's wanting to populate the room mobs table at the last line of her info here display, using what she's picking up through ih_id[matches[3]] = matches[2] from the IH command. The wrong argument type error makes me think …
Are conversations from the main screen being cut off or just the chat logger? If it's the main screen, you could head into Mudlet's settings, click on the Main Display tab and adjust the bottom border. It should be set to 50 after installing Entro…

Because of the way Lua is interpreted, variable access is quickest when you're using local variables. Then comes external locals and, lastly, globals. Local variables are external when they're declared inside of a function, so to make your cod…
If you're using Tripwire, tw.affsByCure is worth looking into. I'm sure Entropy's got something of the sort, too. But that'll contain the prioritized lists you're looking for. To sort another table by the aff's location on that list, you'd just i…
A panic button. It's simple, but it's saved my ass hunting a few hundred times.

Anyone know where I can find a good set of instructions on compiling Mudlet for Windows 8? Been a Windows user all my life, so -gcc, etc is greek to me. I've tried it using the Windows 7 instructions given on the client forum. Nothing. I'd reall…
