Status Window
 
Is there a way to create custom bar graphics in the Status Window? It would be nice to populate it with a HP bar, etc. All attempts to create anything other than text is a bust.

No, the status window doesn't display graphics. You have, however, two options:
1. Use a gauge. Read the help entry for #GAUGE for more info. (I think that the one for #BUTTON or Introduction to Buttons also has some infor on this but I'm not sure.)
2. Create a "graphic" display using ASCII art. (Doesn't need to be too fancy, a simple bar of #'s would do.)

Option 1 is by far the easiest one.

as far as i know you cant use graphic in the status window.
but you could use buttons (not in the status window ofcause.) buttons can use custom bar graphic so you can make your own cute little hp bar and so on.

In the completed scripts section is an excellent script for creating an ASCII bar/gauge that can be display in the mud output or in a status window.

Example:
HP: [######...]

with colors, of course. It can be easily modified to work with many colors, etc.
