Ok, here is what I would like to do. Its best exemplified in the picture below.

In the comm field I'd like to have all my communications from channels and tells sent to it, and then in the Status field I'd like to have things such as target, targeting, parry on/off, parrying, gold, weapon etc. Anyone figure out how to get it working in CMud yet or point me in the right direction, any and all help would be greatly appreciated.

You should just need to create the window and put it where you want it and save the layout file .XLY then associate it with your SESSION PROPERTIES.

I have gotten some of them to save that way all be it sporatically

Ok, and what do I do to get it to display what I wish? Like basic trigger setup etc. Any certain command I should be looking at?

if you mean to input the information yes you would do it through triggers. Although atm i havent had time to test how as of yet.

used to be to capture parries to your attack window
#TRIGGER {^I parried your attack.} {#CAP ATTACK}
However currently in cmud this provides a never ending looping problem since it copies the info and is parsed in the new window.

Hopefully someone else had more time to test this out or can give you a more definate answer

There are a couple of work arounds until this gets fixed. You can simply turn off triggers for the child window, to stop it parsing the text at all, or you can make certain the text received by the child window doesn't match the trigger. I wouldn't recommend using #PSUB as CMUD stopped responding last time I tried, but switching to #WINDOW instead of #CAP should work.

To give an example, I'm currently using the following to capture IRE style channels (and give timestamps):

So how would one associate the layout with the session?

in your session properties there is a spot to determine which layout is the default for that session.

I did that and it didn't save. Is it supposed to be saved in a particular place?

triggers only seem to work when first created if you close cmud and restart they dont seem to work properly. I posted a way to get around that until zugg fixes the problem by using a fixit type alias that recreates everything on connect. Its not ideal but it works.
