Vyzor, UI Manager for Mudlet

[Caled]

This is all output in my main window.
vdraw: alias calling Vyzor.HUD:Draw()
@: alias displaying a table
lua: alias running lua at the command line

vdraw
@lyr.test.overlay.Components

table {
'Background': table {}
}
@lyr.test.overlay.Stylesheet

'background-position: top left; background-repeat: repeat-xy; background-color:
rgba(10, 10, 10, 170);'

vdraw
@lyr.test.overlay.Components

nil
@lyr.test.overlay.Stylesheet

'background-position: top left; background-repeat: repeat-xy; background-color:
rgba(10, 10, 10, 170);'

As you can see, the component is being removed, but it seems that the stylesheet is not being updated?

I played around with some test echoes in frame.lua, and both updateStylesheet() and setLabelStyleSheet( name, stylesheet ) are being called where it seems they should be, but beyond that I don't understand enough to see what is (or is not) happening.

I'm having trouble installing this. I'm using Mudlet 2.0 test 4 on a Mac. I've downloaded the package from github and installed via the package manager as normal. I get a message "loading modules" as expected, then nothing. The Vyzor script throws errors that make it look like the location detection code isn't working. Any good tips?

[Oneymus]

Post the error code. Also, do you receive the same error if you download and install the .mpackage attached to the first post of this thread?

[Eloise]

Turns out it's my bad - if I install the .mpackage from github it works. Installing the .xml file (as I have with previous packages causes problems. Thanks.

[Oneymus]

Ah, good to hear everything worked out. And, yes, definitely install the .mpackage, since it unzips all of the files in the proper place for you.

Does Vyzor allow you to place labels over the main window where text flies? I figured I could just add a label to Vyzor.HUD rather than Vyzor.Left/Right/Top/Bottom but it didn't seem to work.

[Oneymus]

In theory, that should work. However, I often have mixed results trying to do displays Labels over the Main Console. A Frame will be drawn if it is a child of the HUD (the Border Frames are exactly that), but whether Mudlet will handle it as one expects is another matter entirely.

I'm having trouble echoing my afflictions to a miniconsole using Vyzor and svo. Here's an excerpt of the event handler I'm using to update the miniconsole:

Code: [show] | [select all] lua

function affHandler(eventname, data)
	afflictionBoxConsole:Echo("\nEvent: %s, data: %s", eventname, data)
end

The event handlers being svo got aff and svo lost aff. The script name is affHandler.

Here's a screen shot of the script in action:

When I echo using svo.echof(), it works just fine (shown inside the green rectangle)
But when I echo using Vyzor's afflictionBoxConsole:Echo() it returns what's shown in the red circle. Rather than the affliction names, I get a %s.

Any ideas on how I can get this working properly so that the affliction names are displayed in the miniconsole?

[Lezard]

You would need to use string.format() to get that to work :p
So you would put:

Code: [show] | [select all] lua

afflictionBoxConsole:Echo(string.format("\nEvent: %s, data: %s", eventname, data))

[Akaya]

Ah. Rockin'. Works perfect. Thank you
