Sending % to the mud
|
I'm trying to edit my prompt for a mud, and the standard escape character isn't doing it. The mud has its own variables referenced by '%', where '%h' would mean your health variable. My quote character's a backslash, but typing \%h only produces output of 'h'. I've tried changing my parameter character, which leads to some other funky behavior('#SHOW _char' leads to an access violation, but '#3 {#SHOW _i} works), but that doesn't do the job. I've tried with parsing on/off, storing '%h...' as a string variable, tried _quote(%h...). For all of these, the '%' isn't making it to the mud.

What do you mean 'edit' your prompt? I would assume you mean parse the data from the prompt, but then you speak of needing to send %h. This must be from the command line, %h should send fine from a script, but then then what are you editing? Is this a script per se? A trigger pattern? A regex pattern? I'm just curious because you are doing all these modifications.

In zMUD the quote character is '~'. You can verify this and all other special characters by going to View -> Preferences -> General Preferences. Scroll down and select Special Characters from the list.

Some MUDs let you define a completely custom prompt, and use variables like this to show where to put values like your health and stuff in the prompt.
Have you tried using #send? #send "%h" |

Try #SEND. I believe in ZMud it does what #SENDRAW does in CMud. If that doesn't work, does doubling up on the % work (as in %%h)?

The command to change the prompt is "prompt <new prompt>".
Still no-go for(parameter char = '%', quote char = '\'):
| Code: |
Command: Prompt:
#SEND "prompt %h" h
#SEND "prompt %%h" h
#SEND "prompt \%%h" h
#SEND "prompt \%h" h
#SEND "prompt \%h" \h
#SEND {prompt X*} *(same as above)
#SEND "prompt %quote(%h)" quote(h)
#SEND {prompt %quote(%h)} \h
|
Setting the parameter char to '_':
| Code: |
Command: Prompt:
#SEND "prompt _%h" _h
#SEND "prompt _\%h" _h
#SEND {_quote(prompt %h)} h
#SEND {_quote(prompt \%h)} h
#SEND {prompt _quote(\%h)} h
#SEND {prompt _quote(%h)} h
#SEND "prompt _quote(%h)" _quote(h) **(quote chars do nothing to this, either) |
[/code] |

What MUD is this for. I think the problem may be with your MUD not reading what it's receiving properly.. If you change all those #SENDs to #SHOWs you'll see what zMUD is trying to send.

I reached the same conclusion...forgot to post, though. I tried the game using PuTTY and Kmuddy, and both had the same outcome.
