[1.15] Simutronics - DragonRealms Help Please
 
Having been away from mudding for a while (about 4 years) i decided to start playing DragonRealms (seeing as Dragon's Gate is down).

I started with Simu's Stormfront client, but i really wanted the power of zMUD (cMUD) back.

So here i am, having paid for cMUD (I dont see the point of using zMUD when cMUD is clearly better and it means i only have to relearn the newer better stuff)

So.. onto my actual problem:

Hit points.

As small as this issue tends to be in most games (::cough::) i cant seem to get them detected/displayed/working/whatever in DR.

Now i know about GSL tags, and how to get their values in cMUD (%gsl.x or %gsl(x))

BUT.. no matter which GSL Client i connect with (zMUD, Wizard etc..) there is no HP code. (At least no readily identifiable one).

I have done some forum searches and found out that the GSL tag i want is x. But that is not listed in prefs, Simutronics, values tab.

In the variables section it allows me to name some variables that i want to have my HP stored into, but i have tried #SHOWing them, putting them on the Status Bar, in the Status Window and nothing. I looked for the System|GSL folder, but to no avail. I tried creating the variables with the names specified in the prefs, but they just sit on the value i gave them at creation.

I know that i can use Stormfront in the GSL client thing to get Stormfront functionality. However, until the #PSUB bug is fixed and i am back used to using cMUD again i dont feel up to tackling all the XML style tags and Subbing needed to make it human readable.

But other than Stormfront, how can i get to see my hp/mana/ftg and other bits in cMUD.

Thanks for reading

The functionality is only half-working. ZMud (and I suppose CMud as I don't think Zugg made any changes to the MXP support yet) doesn't at all support the <tag/> syntax that about half of the XML datastream consists of. The sole issue is the trailing /, which apparently denotes an EMPTY-style tag. I think I explained this to you already in a private message.

As for the hitpoints and stuff, that doesn't exist in DR. The only tag-based way to get the specific information is via the Stormfront mode. You can try to compensate with a full range of triggers and other settings, but that's not going to be reliable enough to toe any lines.

Well that explains it then. If there are no hps, there clearly cant be any to detect.

Simple eh?
