I'm trying to use the newest beta version of CMUD (thus my reason for posting here) to run Simutronics Dragonrealms, I can connect just find but I'm having an issue with the %gsl command and the automatic variables created. If I look at the preferences -> simutronics -> variables tab I see some listed there but i do not see an entry for X which should be the current HP i'm missing quite a few other entries also (I could make a list but it would be quite long) I"m just tring to figure out what setting I might have messed up and what I would need to do to resolve this. Thank you for any help you can provide.

X is not available to Dragonrealms. With the exception of a very few and very minor differences between the Wizard (Wizard, ZMud) mode and the Browser_fe (eScape) mode, what you see is what you get.

As far as I know, nobody has ever bothered to make a Dragonrealms version of the GSL tag list and all the tag lists I know about were written by Gemstone players or include the Gemstone-only tags.

Ah well then that makes sense.

I have figured out that

l = left hand item
m = main hand item
p = room name

but the rest eludes me

I had a post that broke all this stuff down when GSL support was first added to zMUD, but I don't think it exists any longer. I miss the old search.

j = directions
l = room description
M = highlight, so last thing highlighted will be stored there. There is probably another one in front of it. Like there is an o in front of the room description and an l at the end. No need to know those really.

Q = When roundtime will be up in server time(? or something), it's in seconds.
q = is the prompt and is the current time

So when you get a Q, the roundtime will be Q - the next q
P = "posture", sit, stand, kneel, bleeding, stun, webbed, etc.

has most of the stuff for P I think, this was done a long time ago.

You should be able to infer from that what each thing is from the name of the file, and I think I still have the files sitting around somewhere. I prefer to just have a bunch of buttons that say what it is in text: STUN, BLEED, HIDDEN, INVIS and so forth. I make them all black background and different color text and use %btnenable to switch them from on and off. I use variable in the caption for SIT, STAND, KNEEL and PRONE that I change.

I think those are the only ones you will use.

I didn't even realize the standard search was still there, thanks! The google search was driving me crazy.
