Hello,

I was wondering if there was an easy way to replace main window text with other text. For example...
the MUD sends -> A large, green blob of jelly arrives and looks around.
zMUD outputs to me -> A large, green blob of jelly (Monster X) arrives and looks around.

Thanks!

It depends on what X is supposed to mean. If it's a count of the number of monsters, then we'll need to see sample output of how monsters are listed in the room descriptions (so we can get an initial count on which to base our incrementation).

Other than the trigger(s) for that, all you need is:

#trigger {({A|An} %*) arrives and looks around.} {#sub {%1 ~(Monster @Count~) arrives and looks around~.}}

Sorry for the confusion there, Monster X refers to the common name of the monster, not a count. So its basically replacing the text with itself and then adding (Common name of monster)

Try something like this:

#var LongName {large, green blob of jelly|large, blue troll}
#var CommonName {GreenGoo|BlueTroll}
#trigger {(@LongName)} {#sub {%1 ~(%item( @CommonName, %ismember( "%1", @LongName))~)}}

This seems to work for me.
