Hi,

I've just started using zmud, and for the most part it works great. I'm using it with materia magica, and the status bar comes up with hit points / spell points / stamina. Is there away to get enemy hit points / status to show up on there like it does on Portal?

Thanks.

show us an example of how the mud sends the data to you

With Portal-compliant MUDs extra data is sent when you use the Portal client that isn't accessible by other clients. And it's proprietary so making something that fakes Portal is a big no-no.

Okay, thanks for the replies :)

Here is a snippet from a log file.

By the way, the version i'm using is 7.05a.

You enter into combat with a mynah bird.

A mynah bird is in perfect health.

<77hp 140sp 150st> <77hp 140sp 150st>

You fail to hit a mynah bird with your attack.

A mynah bird is cut on the wing with your slash causing heavy damage.

You are smashed on the head by a mynah bird's bash causing superficial damage.

A mynah bird looks pretty beaten up.

alright... you just need to capture all the varias damage stages there are total, and the order they go in and you could so something at least close

Thanks Shalimar! Would i do this with a trigger, and if so could post an example?

You'd need to post all the damage emotes and (if you can get them) the rough numbers they relate to.

Then you could do something like

#TRIGGER {^&Target is in perfect health.$} {#sub @Target: 100~%}
#TRIGGER {^&Target looks pretty beaten up.$} {#sub @Target: 75~%}

And so on. They'd be rough values (and I'm not sure exactly what they are) but that would work. It's look like

A mynah bird: 100%
A mynah bird: 75%

Cool.

This gives me a place to start.

Thanks for the help.

Not a problem. If you wanted to put it on your status bar or on a gauge, you could the number to a variable instead.

#TRIGGER {^&Target is in perfect health.$} {#var TargetHealth 100}
#TRIGGER {^&Target looks pretty beaten up.$} {#var TargetHealth 75}
