I use these: http://wiki.mudlet.org/w/Manual:Lua_Functions http://pgl.yoyo.org/luai/i/_ Also, the existing table.update function is broken, but a fix has been made that will be available in the next release. You can put this in your code somewhere to be able to use it until then: function table.upda...

A number of the database functions are broken. You would be better served by using tables and saving and loading those. You can essentially do the same things with them anyway.

Well, if that is the problem, then you can just replace the \'s with /'s. string.gsub(getMudletHomeDir(),[[\]],"/") should do the trick.

Here is something to try. Take your original version (where you wrote out the whole path) and put parentheses around the entire string you are passing the function. That should still work without any problems. Then, set some variable equal to that whole string (including the border-image: part and a...

I just forgot the ( ) around everything for some reason. Write it as:
hunting_label:setStyleSheet([[border-image: url(]] .. path .. ");") and it should be fine.

It is just a string that you are passing, so you can set it in advance, like this:

Generally, buttons are reserved for things that don't require arguments or inputs. So, it would be difficult to make a button mimic this behavior.

I noticed there was a table.update() function, but that it didn't seem to work. So, I cloned it and then tweaked it until it worked in a way that seemed to be reasonable. I made two versions, one overwrites the table to be updated, the other returns a new table that would result from updating the fi...

I think the best strategy for something like that would be via an alias. Since you seem to be greeting people, maybe your alias pattern could be this: ^greet (\w+)\s?(\w*)$ The code would then be: if matches[3] == "" then send("say hello " .. matches[2] .. ".") else sen...

Well, I would think that generally, you would set up triggers to capture all the relevant info from before, inside, and after the tag, then delete those lines, then display the information formatted the way you want it. The deleteLine() function removes everything in the line, including the new line...
