Sending tells to a seperate window.
 
Hello,

I'd like to be able to send tells to a seperate window. I've been searching the internet, and the forum on how to do this, but I can't seem to
figure it out completely.

What I've got are the following two triggers:
Code:

Pattern: (%w) tells you
Value: #CAP tell
       #GAG

And:
Code:

Pattern: You tell (%w)
Value: #CAP tell
       #GAG


But this only works for very short messages, since the #CAPTURE command will only capture one line of text.

Could somebody assist me in sorting this out, or maybe point me to some resource where I might find the answer?

I am using zMud 7.21 and I'm playing Achaea.

Thank you,

Qyrios

CONFIG SCREENWIDTH 0

Rejoice.

If you want to make it look like it used to, set Auto Wrap off, Word Wrap on, Wrap Column 80 and Wrap Indent 0 in CMUD's preferences.

you might wanna look at #C+/- .. if you have a prompt after the block you can use that to stop capturing

How would I create a script that would use #C+ and #C- to start and stop capturing? Should I just create a seperate trigger to stop reading it, or is there a more efficient way?

#TR {{you tell|tells you}} {#C+ Tells}
#COND {*} {#C- Tells} "" "prompt"

Could you please explain a bit clearer what I have to enter in the trigger window? I'm not very familiar with this.

enter that whole segment in at the command line actually, and its all done, might want to disable your current one til you test this

Seriously, just change the screenwidth and all your problems will be solved :P Using #c+ is so annoying and using screenwidth will help you solve all kinds of wrap-related problems.

pattern: You tell (*)
value: #cap Tells;#gag



that'll capture everything on the line following the YOU TELL part of the trigger.

using %w will only capture 1 instance of word text.

also, if you're in a mud where peoples name's can change in TELLS or what have you, the (*) is your best bet.

I would also suggest anchoring your trigger using the ^ key, this makes it so it only works if it's at the start of a line.

Didn't write these, but I'm more than willing to share, and not all functions of them work entirely properly so you'd have to poke around a bit, but...

Code:

#CLASS {Shadow|Communication}
#TRIGGER {^~((%w)~):(*)} {
  #class cap 1
  #var cap "%1"
  #gag
  }
#TRIGGER {^(%w) tells you,} {
  #T+ cap
  #gag
  }
#TRIGGER {^You tell} {
  #T+ cap
  #gag
  }
#CLASS 0


Code:

#CLASS {Shadow|Communication|Cap} {disable}
#REGEX {^<(\d+)/(\d+)h (\d+)/(\d+)m (?:\d+)e (?:\d+)w (?:\d+)x <(.*?)>>} {
  #t- Cap
  #gag
  }
#TRIGGER {*} {#CAPTURE Channels}
#TRIGGER {^~<(%d)~/(%d)h (%d)~/(%d)m~> } {
  #t- Cap
  #gag
  }
#REGEX {^<(\d+)/(\d+)h (\d+)/(\d+)m (?:\d+)e (?:\d+)w (?:\d+)x (?:\d+)k <(.*?)>} {
  #t- Cap
  #gag
  }
#CLASS 0


This one works for most aspects of Imperian stuff where the Regex prompt is designed off of Whytes.

This second one I don't use, but it would be a more complex version where it tracks the word-wrapping properly based on the width of the screen and such. The first one has problems with multi-line tells where not all of the tell is gagged in your main window.


Code:

#CLASS {Shadow|chat}
#REGEX {\w+ has been .+\.} {#MAKEWINDOW Deathsight "scrolling=yes|height=25c|width=80c|persistant|floating"}
#CLASS 0
#CLASS {Shadow|chat|chattrig}
#TRIGGER {^~(*~)~:*} {
  #MAKEWINDOW Channels "scrolling=yes|height=25c|width=80c|persistant|floating"
  #VARIABLE lineend {%rightback( %trigger, 1)}
  #IF (@lineend = %char( 34)) {
    #CAPTURE Channels
    #GAG
    } {
    #T+ chattext
    #T- chattrig
    }
  }
#TRIGGER {^~<~<*~>~>~:*} {
  #MAKEWINDOW Channels "scrolling=yes|height=25c|width=80c|persistant|floating"
  #VARIABLE lineend {%rightback( %trigger, 1)}
  #IF (@lineend = %char( 34)) {
    #CAPTURE Channels
    #GAG
    } {
    #CAPTURE chat
    #GAG
    #T+ chattext
    #T- chattrig
    }
  }
#TRIGGER {^(%w) tells you,} {
  #MAKEWINDOW Channels "scrolling=yes|height=25c|width=80c|persistant|floating"
  #VARIABLE lineend {%rightback( %trigger, 1)}
  #IF (@lineend = %char( 34)) {
    #CAPTURE Channels
    #GAG
    } {
    #CAPTURE Channels
    #GAG
    #T+ chattext
    #T- chattrig
    }
  }
#TRIGGER {^You tell} {
  #MAKEWINDOW Channels "scrolling=yes|height=25c|width=80c|persistant|floating"
  #VARIABLE lineend {%rightback( %trigger, 1)}
  #IF (@lineend = %char( 34)) {
    #CAPTURE Channels
    #GAG
    } {
    #CAPTURE Channels
    #GAG
    #T+ chattext
    #T- chattrig
    }
  }
#REGEX {The colour fades from your \w+\ tattoo, rendering it useless\.} {
  #MAKEWINDOW Channels "scrolling=yes|height=25c|width=80c|persistant|floating"
  #VARIABLE lineend {%rightback( %trigger, 1)}
  #IF (@lineend = %char( 34)) {
    #CAPTURE Channels
    #GAG
    } {}
  }
#CLASS 0
#CLASS {Shadow|chat|chattext}
#TRIGGER {*} {
  #VARIABLE lineend {%rightback( %trigger, 1)}
  #IF (@lineend <> %char( 34)) {
    #CAPTURE Channels
    #GAG
    } {
    #CAPTURE Channels
    #GAG
    #T+ chattrig
    #T- chattext
    }
  }
#REGEX {^<(\d+)/(\d+)h (\d+)/(\d+)m (?:\d+)e (?:\d+)w (?:\d+)x <(.*?)> <(.*?)>>} {#gag}
#CLASS 0


Creation rights go to Shadow for one or the other, unfortunately I stored both of them relatively close and don't recall which on he actually created or where I got the other. The second one doesn't really work at all, but you can use it for ideas.
