Been meaning to try Zmud for a while since having used it for Federation I know it's scripting is MUCH power powerful then the wizard for gemstone.

However I have a couple questions.

First is the really basic. What in Zmud (path trigger script macro alias etc) is similiar to script in wizard? It's killing me not being able to do .k -critter- .sk -critter- .g -item- etc. Way to much typing.

Secondly is there anyway to change zmud to display the buffer instead of last command. I thought it used to do that automatically and it might and i possibly screwed it up and made UP be a movement key heh.

Thirdly is there anyway to duplicate the gemston specific features the wizard has in zmud? For example i recorded a path in zmud but it's no good, simu disconnects you for sending to much info. Slow walking just aborts after moving one room. In the wizard you use the move -dir- command and it would automatically pause the proper amount whether it was to prevent disconnect from to much data or waiting for your hard round time to expire. you could also put wait in between non move commands to prevent going past the 1 type ahead line and messing up the script.

Anyway to duplicate that in zmud?

There are several scripts already made up for Gemstone in the finished scripts section of the forumn, you may have to go back a ways to find them but there are travel scripts and many things that help to mimic the native FE.

A Wizard made for the Dragon's Gate MUD is VERY similar to the Simu wizard, so I believe MOVE would be part of the scripting language, right? If so, it's a dual command that sends a user command (the direction) to the MUD and then does a WAITFOR type of command. You can emulate this via trigger, but I don't know exactly how easy or difficult this would be.

The ZMud equivalent of a Wizard script would be the Alias. The only real difference here is that you don't need to precede a ZMud alias with a period. Other than that and the obvious differences in language, they are exactly the same thing.

Finally, sounds like you might have a stray macro floating around in your settings.

I posted some questions in the actual scripts folders. Still no idea what I'm doing.
I'd love if someone could email me the basics maybe?

I wish I could figure out how to route AIM through my ssh tunnel (how I got gemstone to work) but GAIM doesn't seem to want to run on this computer so I'll have to settle for email.
