I have some MXP subs set up for when i view mob database records, they seem to act kinda strange, ie overlapping, lemme see if i can paste what i see....

i type "mobfind a wyvern" ... zmud shows:
Finding: a wyvern

5670 Name: 'a wyvern' Lvl: 17 Area: Aardwolf Zoological Park Align: evil Speedwalk: run e3n2es Room: Wyvern Enclosure Notes: Key: wyv Flags: none

(white shown as black) that is what i see, if i click on ANY yellow it sends speedwalk, ANY blue it runs to area, ANY green it runs a mapquery... the way it colors it IS affected by my screen width (a problem i've had with various #SUB's)

I have these pertinent triggers set up (%ansi(color) added to point out differences):

{Aardwolf Zoological Park}->{#SUB {<send 'go azp'>%ansi(blue)Aardwolf Zoological Park%ansi(white)</send>}}

{Align: evil}->{#CW red}

{Speedwalk: run (*) Room}->{#SUB {<send 'run %1'>%ansi(yellow)Speedwalk: run %1</send> %ansi(white)Room}}

{Room: (*) Notes:}->{temp_room = %replace( %1, ', %)
#SUB {%ansi(green)Room~: <send 'mapfind {@temp_room}'>%1</send> %ansi(white)Notes}}

{Keyword: (%w)}->{#SUB {<send 'k %1'>%ansi(red)Key~: %1</send>%ansi(white)}}

from these triggers i would assume it would look like:

5670 Name: 'a wyvern' Lvl: 17 Area: Aardwolf Zoological Park Align: evil Speedwalk: run e3n2es Room: Wyvern Enclosure Notes: Key: wyv Flags: none

dunno if it's pertinent or not... but the main part of the mobfind alias does:

#SAY %ansi( high, white) %replace( %replace( %replace( %replace( %replace( %replace( %replace( %replace( %stripansi( %dbget( %i)), mob_level, "' Lvl: "), mob_name, " Name: '"), mob_zone, " Area: "), mob_align, " Align: "), mob_speedwalk, " Speedwalk: "), mob_roomname, " Room: "), "mo ", " "), Notes, " Notes: ")

with the colors added it is easy to see... was wondering why the heck i click on one thing and something else was being sent :P The triggers work fine IF I click on the correct color, anyone have a clue to what im doing wrong in my self taught MXP SUBs... or is it just buggy?

k, i know i'm a fool with database stuff, and hell, everyone i know says i'm just a fool..but what is up with all the %replace's?
I'd say that might be part of the prob, but dunno...

First thing I would say to try is shift the %ansi's outside of the <send> tags in all your triggers, similar to how you have this one written.
{Room: (*) Notes:}->{temp_room = %replace( %1, ', %)
#SUB {%ansi(green)Room~: <send 'mapfind {@temp_room}'>%1</send> %ansi(white)Notes}}

Deathdealer... #SAY %dbget(xxx) outputs to screen like:

Num5636momob_namea grounds keepermob_level33mob_zoneAardwolf Zoological Parkmob_alignevilmob_speedwalkrun e3nmob_roomnameOn a busy walkwayNotesKeyword: ground Flags: (W)(T)Y

the %replaces replace things like "mobnamea grounds keeper" with "Name: a grounds keeper" so i can read it.

Vijilante, all %ansi are now outside the <send></send> tags... same deal, funky subs :(

as an update.. if i go into settings in zMud and turn off word wrap, all is fine... cept i gotta scroll sideways to see it all :P

Adept Joined: 10 Jan 2002 Posts: 264 Location: USA

since i figured out word wrap is causing problems, i have another non-mxp non-replace example:

The ONLY thing that fixes this is disabling zMud "Word wrap", i also have another trigger that is more simplstic that i can recreate the same thing with this script:

--- begin tiersubs.txt ---
#CLASS {TierSubs|Main}
#TRIGGER {{Gladiator|Barbarian|Battlemaster|Warlord|Liege|Veteran|Berserker|Savage|General}} {#SUB Warrior}
#TRIGGER {{Priest|Oracle|Prophet|Saint|Patriarch|Martyr|Bishop|Exorcist|Crusader}} {#SUB Cleric}
#TRIGGER {{Nightblade|Rogue|Assassin|Ninja|Cutthroat|Crimelord|Stalker|Prowler|Godfather}} {#SUB Thief}
#TRIGGER {{Necromancer|Lich|Wizard|Warlock|Magician|Conjurer|Illusionist|Sorcerer|Archmage}} {#SUB Mage}
#TRIGGER {{Mystic|Telepath|Channeler|Dreamwalker|Mindflayer|Mentalist|Visionary|Mindshifter|Enlightened}} {#SUB Psionicist}
#TRIGGER {{Knight|Cavalier|Slayer|Avatar|Zealot|Terminator|Benefactor|Holy Blade|Avenger}} {#SUB Paladin}
#TRIGGER {{Hunter|Beastmaster|Tracker|Wayfinder|Woodsman|Explorer|Strider|Scout|Protector}} {#SUB Ranger}
#TRIGGER {Quest Points%s~:} {#CLASS TierSubs|main 0}
#TRIGGER {^------------------------------------------------------------$} {#Class TierSubs|main 0}
#CLASS 0

#CLASS {TierSubs|support}
#ALIAS whois {#CLASS TierSubs|main 1;~whois %1}
#ALIAS finger {#CLASS TierSubs|main 1;~finger %1}
#CLASS 0

#SHOW ----------------------------------------------------------------------
#SHOW TierSubs setup complete, now just finger or whois some tier :)
#SHOW ----------------------------------------------------------------------
--- end tiersubs.txt ---

what is does is show 1st tier (common) names in place of tiered names...

whois T9player output (raw, #IG):

[Multiclass Player: Archmage / Godfather / Crusader / General / Enlightened / Protector / Avenger ]

With wrod wrap on (this just aint right :P):

[Multiclass Player: Mage / Thief / Cleric / War Psionicist t Ranger e Paladin enger ]

with word wrap off (correct output):

[Multiclass Player: Mage / Thief / Cleric / Warrior / Psionicist / Ranger / Paladin ]

i think my use of #SUB is correct, this only happens when #SUB is used on multiple items in a sngle line WITH word wrap turned on (doesnt matter if i let zmud set the colum or what the indent setting is), Is this a bug or yet another one of those unwanted "features" ?

I have "Word Wrap" and "Auto Wrap" both turned on.
"Wrap Column is greyed out and unselectable.
"Wrap Indent" is set to 3.

My screen resolution is 1024 X 768. Smaller than yours...
How do i know what my zmud screen is set to? I know it's maximized...
Either way, since my screen is smaller, and I don't have this prob, starting to think that your fonts are set larger than mine?
My Output window is set to Courier, Regular, 10. So are the other settings.

mine are set to same but 12, found my exact from a printscreen then measured in psp.

anyhoo, just try narrowing your screen further and see if it does it, it is definatlely the problem on mine. My eyes hurt looking at a smaller font, but either doing that or widening the zmud window cures the whois. but no way can i stretch so far as to display the entire mobinfo.

re-wrote the whois/finger script to do it a different way, seems to have fixed it, i now see:

[Tier Classes: Warrior(General) / Cleric(Crusader) / Thief(Godfather) / Mage(Archmage) / Psionicist(Enlightened) / Ranger(Protector) / Paladin(Avenger) ]

instead of:

[Multiclass Player: General / Crusader / Godfather / Archmage / Enlightened / Protector / Avenger ]

Well, made my zmud screen smaller by bringing the sides closer.
Result:

Still not my main problem, i got around the tiersubs with a different script... i however cannot change the database outputting with MXP being all funky (see 1st post in this thread)

i type "mobfind a wyvern" ... zmud shows:
Finding: a wyvern

5670 Name: 'a wyvern' Lvl: 17 Area: Aardwolf Zoological Park Align: evil Speedwalk: run e3n2es Room: Wyvern Enclosure Notes: Key: wyv Flags: none

ansi color added only to show how MXP is acting screwy.

Blue = Area Name MXP sub
Green = roomfind alias MXP sub
Yellow = speedwalk MXP sub
red = keyword kill MXP link sub
