Re: Mudlet-2.0-test3 released

In this version on Windows 7 (Professional x64), any sound played continues playing even if another sound is started, and thus I'm not entirely sure how to stop a sound from playing once it's started...

The last version I used (rc3) would stop playing all previous sounds if a new sound was triggered.

Re: Mudlet-2.0 release candidates [latest: Mudlet-2.0-rc5+]

That would indeed be the problem.

I fixed it by doing:

arg = {...};

For other changes between Lua 5.0 and 5.1, I found this thread helpful:

Thanks for the help.

BTW, this still works fine in RC3 and below...

Re: Mudlet-2.0 release candidates [latest: Mudlet-2.0-rc5+]

With test3, whenever my scripts try to use elipses (...) for variable length arguments, I get this error: Lua syntax error:[string "----------------------------------..."]:82: attempt to get length of global 'arg' (a nil value) If I assign a value to the arg global variable (say, a 1), the...

Re: Creating, Loading and Saving Tables best practices

I decided to post here instead of making a new thread, but not quite sure if it should go here. Anyway, table.save() and table.load() saves tables to files inside the Mudlet installation folder, not into the GetMudletHomeDir() folder (in windows: %userprofile%\.config\Mudlet\<ProfileName>) This mean...

database interface _unique not working

I can't seem to get the _unique value for a sheet to work with the database interface: Here's my unit test: local params = { areas={ id="", name="", _index = { "id" }, _unique = { "id" }, _violations = "REPLACE" }, } local myval = db:create("map...

Re: regex in string matching scripts

Thanks! The programming in Lua book doesn't have any reference to this library, and a google search doesn't bring it up. Thanks.

And I should have quantified regular expressions as PCRE or POSIX.

Re: Errors displaying lines

I sometimes am missing a line at the bottom of a scroll buffer, too, but I'm not running a GMCP or IRE mud. If a script sends lines, sometimes the buffer won't scroll, either. Haven't yet seen a rhyme or reason for it...

regex in string matching scripts

The built-in lua string library uses its own proprietary pattern matching code, for which I can't seem to find an OR (aka "|") regex equivalent. I would like a more elegant solution, such as regex support in scripts themselves, or a way to have an OR operator for string matches. Any sugges...

Re: how to make a tick timer?

There isn't much info on permTimers in the manual, but I've made re-occuring timers by encasing normal tempTimers in a function that calls itself when the timer completes. For example my playing toggle: If the function is passed a parameter of -1, it will fire again by calling the function again aft...

Re: Simulating incoming text for testing

That's strange. I searched the manual for "feed" and only came up with one result, in the getLineNumber() function...

But your link seems to work...very strange.
