Re: Mudlet features and API requests

@johndahlstrom: I believe that we will be reviewing the operation of the Editor in the future but I do not underestimate the full complexities that dealing with selection of multiple items would entail. I think that a delete confirmation would be the simpler way to code to prevent unexpected deletio...

Re: Need Help with Random Output Trigger Variable

For what it is worth the regexp ".*" is in two pieces: "." means match "ANY character" and "*" means "zero or more times"...

Re: Absolutely confused now...

Im unsure what this is suppose to do I have the basic initialization of the vars. i.e.: if hpcur == nil then hpcur = 0 end .. Simply put, if the lua interpreter has not previously used hpcur then it will automatically have the nil value which is not a number or a string or a table or a boolean. Tha...

Re: Reformatting

@Demonic I know exactly what you mean, I learnt really basic (survivor level really) vi years ago and it's still the CLI editor I reach for when I want to edit a system config file etc. (c.v. WordStar word-processor commands, now that HAS atrophied) - only trouble is most(?) of these new-fangled GUI...

I'd second the mention for Notepad++ at least on Windoze.

Re: creating an entirely new window?

Do you have a second monitor you want to drag said "window" to? If that is the case and you use the mapper you can (by NOT allowing a Geyser one to be created) click on the top toolbar to create an undockable mapper window which CAN be moved out of the main document interface (MDI) a.k.a. ...

Re: passing selected rooms on map to a script?

I was wrong - you CAN do that, but I don't yet fully understand how. Though it does sort of follow the outline I gave before. Apparently the current list of selected rooms is something that get passed to any user action that is put onto that mapper context menu (right-click) with the addMapEvent() f...

Re: function to easily align text for display (actually, 4 n

Only trouble is, at present Mudlet is not perhaps as internationalised as one might wish, we don't handle stuff that is not ASCII as well as we might. The potential is there, we'll need to tweak a good few things but I dream that in the future the Lua scripters will be dealing with multi-byte utf-8 ...

Re: passing selected rooms on map to a script?

I don't think you can currently capture that list, but I agree it would be a useful thing to have. From a coder's viewpoint I think you would need to add a map context menu (right click) item - which can be done by the user and use that to call a, as unwritten yet, built-in lua function that would r...
