A simple event handler to log into a MUSH
Right - I'm aware of how that goes - and Mudlet doesn't (yet) support automatically logging into that sort of things in that way. I have a PR pending that would have solved that - but it got kicked into the long grass (around 5 years ago) and there is now a tree growing up through it..,
Instead you will either have to continue doing it manually. Or it is possible to write a script that gets run by an "event handler" that runs when the connection to the MUD/MUSH/MOO is made....
Congratulations, you've found a 🐞 -
Congratulations, you've found a 🐞 - there is a line missing from the C++ source code that would return a or when the install succeeded or not...!

hmm, I'll have to check adjcon to see if there's an easy method exposed for that, but if not there's got to be a way to get at the underlying miniconsole to change its background
Sounds on macOS
I am on a Macbook, running the Linux dev environment. I got Mudlet to run. I uploaded a trigger pack, and at first all my triggers showed, but no sounds were playing, so I tried to delete all the triggers and reimport them, but now they won't even import. Just nothing happens when I import the XML file.
There seems to be something I am just
There seems to be something I am just not understanding about saving tables and loading them. When I log in or first fire up a profile, I'm loading my tables from their save state, and defining the tables ahead of time. The variable data all loads just fine, but none of my functions do. I have to manually go through and click every script file to get them to load. I've been banging my head against this for a couple days, and I know there has to be something simple I'm missing, I just don't know...

Area 51
@ArmageDOOOM In the PTBs (but not in the last release) there is an "improvement" that stores each separate commandline's history (up to a specified number of most recently used commands) for each profile within the profile's data and restores them when the profile is next loaded. (It is possible to switch this off for any particular command line - or for ALL of them in a profile - should that be desired.)

Ah, it looks like I never documented the Lua API functions that that added - not even in Area51 https://wiki.mudlet.org/w/Area_51

setSaveCommandHistory(["commandLineName", ] saveHistory) - first argument is optional and is the name of the command line (the main one is the one referred to if omitted) - second argument is whether to save the history between sessions (true) or not (false). Returns true on success or nil plus an error message on failure....Well, whilst I am sad that it crashed
Well, whilst I am sad that it crashed for you, I am relieved that you found a solution that seems to work (though it does seem to be something of a Heisenbug https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heisenbug).
Just as well that you got around it because at the moment our MacOS build system seems to be creating Mudlet versions that appear to start but then crash and burn because a library (
zstd) that the libzip library dynamically loads/depends on now (since version 1.8) that parts of Mudlet uses is no longer included in the application bundle for MacOS (it is okay for the Mudlet 4.17.2 release build but I suspect that all the current PTBs and testing/PR builds are borked like this.
I'm investigating but I am severely hindered because I am not a Mac owner/user and it is a rather alien landscape for me to debug remotely on our GitHub actions based build system......Send text warning
Like the other person said - that line of text contained at least one character that cannot be transported to the Server with the currently in use "Server Encoding".
Mudlet can negotiate with the server over which encoding to use but many Game Servers do not support the telnet option (42 "CHARSET") to do that so you may just have to find out what the Server uses and avoid anything outside that range slipping into your output. I did code in a tool to analyse (a line of) the on-screen text - but it has to be enabled - and after selecting the bit concerned if you hover over the contect menu option it will report what is there::...
Basher stuff to consider
Helpful things to consider:
Do I have the map in the mudlet mapper?
Does the game support giving you information over GMCP or MSDP? This can make things a lot easier
what kind of combat does the game have? "kill <thing>" and wait till it dies, balance or turn based?...
Random command
How would I go about creating an alias that performs two actions with the second action being a random one from a list or table or array?
Answer to "What's a MUD prompt"
Importantly it doesn't end with a
<CR><LF> pair because, like in a terminal window, it usually contains some information appropriate at the time it is displayed and you will be typing in your input on the same line.
Clippy emoji
I need a clippy emoji so I can pop in with things like "Hi there, you look like you're trying to compare tables, that's a real pain if you don't understand some of the deep lore. Would you like some assistance?"
I personally use muddler for compiling
I personally use muddler for compiling lua and json files into a mudlet package xml, but that's in part because I'm creating things for distribution. Muddler does have a CI package which allows you to watch for successful builds and remove/reinstall the package, with optional pre/post remove/install hooks.
Alternately, you could use file watches (https://wiki.mudlet.org/w/Manual:Lua_Functions#addFileWatch as an entry point) to monitor files for changes and reload them. You'll want to be careful to write your stuff in such a way it survives a reload in a desirable fashion in either case. You could look at the Muddler CI package for an example of a filewatch, since that's ultimately what it is using itself.
VSCode has a Mudlet extension which downloads the API docs from the wiki and sets up tab completion and in-line doc which is super handy....
If they re copies then they should be
If they're copies then they should be firing. I thought you were editing triggers in one profile, expecting them to work in the others, and somehow unable to open the proper editor in the other profiles. This does make more sense.
Odd map room IDname widget positioning
I assume that is (0,0) then? I had to drag it elsewhere. Now it vanishes when rooms are deselected, then returns at the very position once I select multiple rooms again
It may wait one second on some devices
It may wait one second on some devices, tough to say. There is a hook in the programming that when the position changes it will calculate the volume change https://github.com/Mudlet/Mudlet/blob/4655c93b2f936e603c15a25bf536ce05efb066c4/src/TMedia.cpp#L719
