scripting 101! plz:)
Posted: Mon Jan 25, 2016 6:00 am
I am playing on an older mud and was trying to make my own mapping script. I have made some progress using triggers to grab some information, but would really like to know if there is a better way than going through the input buffer with getLines and the getLineNumber methods?
Is there a way to see the output stream from the mud before it has had the formatting interpreted? what does that look like? Html or xml ish? Would the information I am looking for like room name and such be identified by those formatting tags possibly?
Anyway I am trying to build something that will map as I explore (not some sort of auto explore, but me typing:)) I like playing so I don't want this done for me, but I would like to be able to have a db of info about rooms/mobs in areas I have been to. Maybe even items I have collected in those areas. Is there a good approach to this or an example? Parsing each line through the buffer feels very heavy handed.
Thanks a million
