how to make trigger such as
#trigger {{* test|* test2|* test3}}

work. Currently it seems zmud treats * as normal stars in or-lists, not as symbols that match any characters. Basically, I have a big list in variable that contains such patterns and would like to trigger on that.

And second question, how to register for Beta forum?

It won't work for precisely the reason you've mentioned. Regular Expressions have some features like this (in the current beta) but 6.16 and below must have their triggers rewritten:

#trigger {* {test|test2|test3}}

It is nice to condense things down to a
trigger but that brings up the question of speed.

Do you really want to have a trigger
that contains such a variety of possibilities
or do you want something that is discarded
or accepted quickly.

I'd be of the opinion that as soon as you
started the put expression content choices in
{a|b|c} you'd have a frightful slow pattern
matching experience.

Hmm, I haven't got a slightest clue at zmud implementation, but the speed diffrence shouldn't be noticeable, basing on my experience with regular expressions... (and premature optimization sucks). And yea, i'd like to join beta forum to download new beta and try its regular expressions, but have no idea how...?

For convenience, I'm a healer and want to trigger on various death messages to automatically offer resurrection and similar stuff.

Hmm, I think I could just break this to multiple triggers, but I already typed all that stuff in variable and too lazy to convert it :D

Tried an approach like
#forall @death_msgs {
#trigger %i { ... }
}

but it didnt work actually :(
