Sending multiple commands to MUD simultaneously - possible?
|
G'day all.
What I am essentially trying to find out if it is possible to send more than one command to a MUD simultaneously. They have to be seperate commands. The best I have come up with thus far is:
| Code: |
| #sendraw {command1%lf command2%lf command3} |
Which is much faster than just using
| Code: |
command1
command2
command3 |
However even with the #sendraw method it still sends the commands one at a time. There is an obvious delay in the MUD registering command1, command2 then command3. Imagine that I am using CMUD right now. If I activated the script, the MUD would respond thusly:
(Time passes)
Command 1!
(Time passes)
Command 2!
(Time passes)
Command 3!
What I really need is for command1, command2 and command3 to occur instantly one after the other, without delay. So, I would use the script, and the MUD would respond thusly:
(Time passes)
Command 1!
Command 2!
Command 3!
With absolutely no delay - a big wall of text to appearing at once.
Is this possible? If so, how would I accomplish it? If not in zScript, then could any of the supported languages do it?
Thank you all in advance. |

The answer can't be this easy, but from the help... http://forums.zuggsoft.com/modules/mx_kb/kb.php?page=3&mode=doc&k=2671
You can enter multiple commands on the same line using the Separator character, which defaults to semi-colon (;). Thus, eat bread;drink water will send the two commands eat bread and drink water to the MUD in quick succession. Also, when commands are sent to the MUD from the command line, a newline (CR/LF) is always added to the end automatically.
command1;command2;command3
#ALIAS fastsend {#SENDRAW command1;#SENDRAW command2;#SENDRAW command3}
If the MUD hesitates using either of those, then most likely the MUD is limited in how fast it will process your commands. There is no way to truly send multiple commands to the MUD simultaneously but close enough as to not matter is almost always possible. |

The MUD itself might delay the commands as well.

You might also check your settings. Click Options. In the Preferences window, click Scripting. Check the value of Delay Between Sending Lines. By default, that should be zero, but you may have accidentally changed it.

Also, that is wrong. Telnet clients must terminate command line with CR LF and not just LF. So if you need to use the above method for some reason, it should be:
| Code: |
| #sendraw {command1%{crlf}command2%{crlf}command3} |
The {} around the crlf tells CMUD where the name of the %function ends so that you don't need to put an extra space after it like you were doing with the %lf. |

Thank you everybody.
Also, thank you Zugg for that tip there. It's still slower than I need it to be but I wasn't aware that you could use brackets to sort functions out. |
