Command History Save With Directions
 
I just realized I posted this to Zmud forum when I meant to post to Cmud...sorry about that. Reposting here.

Hi,

I'm trying to create a file that is a series of commands that includes directions and actions. I'd love to be able to basically "replay" part of my mud session at a later date. Histsave and Histload would be perfect, if they also captured directions. I can't figure out an easy way to capture my commands (with directions) during play. I don't want the mud's output, because I want to be able to re-enter them later. Any ideas?


An example might be:

n
open n
l man
l woman
s
e
open n
dance
put gem in pot
l pot

Basically, I play a mud that gives points for "exploring" areas, with each character. So, after I explore an area once I want to be able to efficiently explore it again with my next character by re-entering the all the commands needed to walk and explore the area.


Thanks in advance.

You can make a command input trigger that fires on everything and write it to a file. Off the top of my head, untested:
Code:
#oninput "inputcapture" {^(*)$} {#file 1 "inputlog.txt";#write 1 %1;#close 1}


Then you can just turn it on and off as needed with #T+/#T- inputcapture.

Check out the Preferences. There's a preference that lets you specify the minimum length of characters a command must be in order to be saved in command history.

you could make you own log of commands with #FILE #WRITE and an #ONINPUT trigger

Just wanted to update this thread too (since I accidentally started one here and one on Zmud)...

Thanks all for the good suggestions. Matt's super simple solution worked though...so I'm all set!!
