A friend asks, is there an easy way to save to logfile also the player's input and not just the output from the mud?

I have run into these English strings in the mapper API before, and it is really a PITA if your MUD does not send English strings to compare with. An easy solution would be to add a way for scripts to overwrite the accepted strings. Translation tables seem more complicated. If you can already ship t...

Seems like this issue is still open. Should be easy to fix, albeit only few people have the necessary rights.

I am not sure I understand your answers correctly, so I will clarify again: When I first connect to the MUD, everything is fine. I can enter my char's name in the same line as the question prompt. This is deliverately so. Only when I connect again, I see a different behavior. Also, I only see it whe...

Ok sure, I can use gmcp and build a script, which would draw the current room on map, and include all known exits, draw them as stubs. Not sure, how exactly the code will look, but seems possible. Then I move to another room. Now I get the visible exits, directions from this room. But gmcp does not ...

What I did already: * Created a room manually, created another room manually, linked them via exits manually (unfortunately, that is where the mapper tutorial ended) * Create a GMCP script, which will be executed, whenever any new room is entered. It then goes on to save the room's id to a list, or ...

So I will give it another shot. Totally forgot how to use the mapper again. Currently looking through other mapping scripts, but none come to help in a way I can directly use. So I need to develop again. Here is what I receive: room description: Die Hafenstrasse fuehrt in Ost-West Richtung zum Hafen...

All suggestions say to modify the source code. We can work around that by keeping it versioned then. Either that or keep a list of things too adjust after a version update. Maybe that is less hustle than adding the forum source to version control, which seems possible only for admins, who have enou...

Maybe check out the Trigger Manual

Thanks Jor'Mox. Here is yet another explanation I received: because matching only goes in one direction (from left to right), you need to distinguish match start and match end, and you can only control greedyness of the end the start is always as early (greedy) as possible I am getting a better feel...
