[3.12] Simutronics XML Mapping
|
Hi, everyone!
So, I've been working for the last two days on getting XML support for Simutronics games into cMUD. It's been going pretty well. The most important functionality is based on the following triggers:
| Code: |
<trigger priority="2" stop="true" id="1">
<pattern>(<(/%x)>)(*%x*)</pattern>
<value>
$curpos = %pos(%1, %line)
$endoftag = %word(%x1, 2) + 1
#SUB ""
#GAG
#SHOW %left(%line, $endoftag)
#SHOW %right(%line, $endoftag)
</value>
</trigger>
<trigger priority="3" stop="true" id="2">
<pattern>((*%x*)(<*%x*/>))</pattern>
<value>
#SUB ""
#GAG
#SHOW %2
#SHOW %3
</value>
</trigger>
<trigger priority="1" stop="true" id="3">
<pattern>(*/>*%x*)</pattern>
<value>
$curpos = %eval(%pos("/>", %1) + 1)
#SUB ""
#GAG
#SHOW %left(%1, $curpos)
#SHOW %right(%1, $curpos)
</value>
</trigger> |
This slows down screen display a little, but its only dramatic when you first log in and a tremendous amount of XML is loaded into the system.
This is a question about mapping, so let me post two outputs:
Without XML Parsing:

<style id=""/>
Obvious paths: north, east, south.
<compass>
<dir value="n"/>
<dir value="e"/>
<dir value="s"/>
</compass> |
Now, I've written a bunch of triggers to gag most of the nonsense text. The <pushStream> tags are designed to send certain content to secondary windows. All of this is working quite lovely.
My main problem is the following section:
| Quote: |
<compass>
<dir value="n"/>
<dir value="e"/>
<dir value="s"/>
</compass> |
I've written the following triggers to deal with this:
| Code: |
<trigger name="Compass" priority="670" id="67">
<pattern></pattern>
<value>
#GAG
//DRcMUD/SystemTriggers/XML/roomExits = ""
</value>
<trigger regex="true">
<pattern></pattern>
<value>
#GAG
$dir = %1
#IF ($dir = "out") {
$dir = "o"
}
#IF ($dir = "in") {
$dir = "i"
}
#IF (%numitems(@//DRcMUD/SystemTriggers/XML/roomExits) < 1) {
//DRcMUD/SystemTriggers/XML/roomExits = $dir
} {
//DRcMUD/SystemTriggers/XML/roomExits = %additem($dir, @//DRcMUD/SystemTriggers/XML/roomExits)
}
#STATE Compass 1
</value>
</trigger>
</trigger>
<trigger priority="700" id="70">
<pattern></pattern>
<value>#GAG
#STATE Compass 0
#TAG exit @//DRcMUD/SystemTriggers/XML/roomExits
#TAG prompt
#OK
</value>
</trigger> |
Note the trigger state:
Trigger 1.0: <compass> - just gags
Trigger 1.1: <dir value='xxx'> - stores the "XXX" value into a stringlist of the room exits
Trigger 2: </compass> - Tags the stringlist of exits.
So, when I'm walking around trying to map in the MUD, the mapper gets the room name and the room description fine. But it either doesn't get the exits at all, or they're absolutely crazy. I also tried abandoning using the compass settings for the room exits, though they're a bit more accurate, and tried the "Obvious paths:" line of text. It was much more likely to get crazy responses here than anywhere else.
I should also note that the triggers themselves are working, in terms of setting up the correct stringlist of exits. The stringlist is correct - just not the mapper.
The mapper works great when I've got GSL enabled, but I'm really hoping to get this to work to take advantage of the extra features that the XML offers.
Any thoughts on why the mapping isn't working?
Thanks! |

It's not recognizing the prompt. It looks like your prompt trigger has nothing as the pattern, and CMud mapping totally bombs if it can't find a prompt.
| Quote: |
<style id="roomName" />
[Middens, Gravel Way]
<style id=""/>
|
#trigger {<style id="roomName" />} {#gagspace}
#condition {^~[([%w%s,])~]$} {Roomname = %1;#tag name @Roomname}
#condition {<style id="" />} {#gagspace}
| Quote: |
<style id="roomDesc"/>

#trigger "tRoomExits" {^<compass>$} {#gagspace;RoomExits = ""}
#condition {(<(*)>)} {#if (%1 = "/compass") {#state tRoomExits 0} {#local $exit;#call %match(%stripq(%1),"dir value=(%w)/",$exit);#additem RoomExits $exit}} {manual}
I don't remember what the prompt looks like in SF mode, but you should be able to wing it from the above examples. |

How are you connecting? I can't even connect to Dragonrealms with the client type set to STORM, it just autodisconnects me and I'd love to play with the xml stream.

GSL client should be set to "stormfront", and the GSL mode should be set to either PLAY or STORM (one will work, the other won't).

Looks like the correct settings are 'stormfront' for the GSL client, and PLAY for the GSL mode.
STORM for the GSL Mode fails to login in all circumstances as far as I can tell. |

Hmm well I'm connected and get some XML now, but it seems to be a subset of what Belmyrddyn is getting so I suspect he is either doing some negotiation with the server or connecting in a different manner.
Anyway, sorry to hijack your thread Belmyrddyn, I'm just really interested in this as well. :)
Edit: MXP wasn't showing unknown tags, think i'm good to go now. |

Thanks for the help! I got the mapping working, but now I'm trying to rewrite those three XML triggers to just be one which displays all the XML in a single-round. This should hopefully speed up processing, since I'm not constantly reparsing the same text over and over again.
