It gets tricky if areas have more than one connection

Ddemonnic 0,0,0 in area X will not be the same as 0,0,0 in area Y

cizra•7/26/22, 2:18 PM

Are you talking about the coordinates set by setRoomCoordinates() here? Because if you are - it's the mapping plugin's job to set distinct coordinates. Or if you're speaking of some C++ internals, then I dunno.

cizra•7/26/22, 2:19 PM

Yep, that's what I'm currently doing. It works well, as in my current MUD, rooms tend to not overlap, globally.

Vadi•7/26/22, 2:20 PM

@WilK you've got some experience with this as well?

demonnic•7/26/22, 2:21 PM

sure, if you're just doing it only for your one game. I was speaking to if you were going to try and implement the general feature in Mudlet, as the only thing you could be certain of in Mudlet is each area is distinct with its own set of cartesian coordinates...

cizra•7/26/22, 2:23 PM

I imagine Mudlet is doing something like "Here are these rooms, grab their coordinates, calculate XY offset by coords and slap them on screen".
Ideally, I'd see an API to call that would set the "Here are these rooms" part from just one area to all rooms ever.

demonnic•7/26/22, 2:25 PM

and how does it arrange the areas in relation to each other in order to show it all at once if the areas have overlapping coordinates in use?

demonnic•7/26/22, 2:25 PM

that's the real problem to solve. heh

Ddemonnic and how does it arrange the areas in relation to each other in order to show it ...

cizra•7/26/22, 2:27 PM

Coordinates are set by me, by running a BFS over the world. Rooms do not overlap (mostly) in the MUD I'm writing a plugin for.

Ddemonnic that's the real problem to solve. heh

cizra•7/26/22, 2:57 PM

Where do you get coords for your MUD, anyway? Are they sent by the server, or explored on client?

cizra•7/26/22, 2:57 PM

... Just so we'd understand each other better.

demonnic•7/26/22, 3:00 PM

Depends on the game. The IRE ones provide them in their gmcp info and the Mudlet script for it makes use of those. But any of the ones using the generic mapper produce their own coordinates based on exploration and standard spacing setup in the script itself. (east is +1,+0,+0, northeast is +1,+1,+0, etc)

LerisOP•7/26/22, 3:45 PM

I get no coordinates here. Whereever I start mapping is 0/0/0 and if I go west, Mudlet will draw the room accordingly

LerisOP•7/26/22, 3:46 PM

Is autocomplete available on Linux? Because I can't seem to get any

Vadi•7/26/22, 3:46 PM

should be. check that it's enabled?

LerisOP•7/26/22, 3:47 PM

it was disabled

Never knew I disabled it

LerisOP•7/26/22, 3:48 PM

Never even knew it could be disabled

LerisOP•7/26/22, 3:49 PM

Oh I think I remember it was added some time ago

demonnic•7/26/22, 3:49 PM

since the autocomplete can be a bit... aggressive

LerisOP•7/26/22, 3:49 PM

But in default is it still enabled or no?

LerisOP•7/26/22, 3:50 PM

yeah that may be the case for me here

LerisOP•7/26/22, 4:00 PM

Can I toggle the Adjustable to be movable but not resizable at all? Still struggling to make all its contents react to resizing as expected

demonnic•7/26/22, 4:07 PM

hmmm

demonnic•7/26/22, 4:12 PM

I'm not immediately seeing a way. @Edru may know something I don't though. heh

LerisOP•7/26/22, 4:16 PM

Maybe it wasn't implemented, yet

LerisOP•7/26/22, 4:17 PM

Alternatively I need more help to make sure that children of my Adjustable get resized accordingly as well

LerisOP•7/26/22, 4:17 PM

Not sure if posting here or in forums would best suit the case

demonnic•7/26/22, 5:37 PM

seems like a bug to me

demonnic•7/26/22, 5:37 PM

Not intentional that I know of, no.

demonnic•7/26/22, 5:37 PM

if you'd file an issue on github for us that'd be awesome

there is no 'official\proper' way to do it but a bit a hacky way. Adjusting a bit from the example at https://github.com/Mudlet/Mudlet/issues/5321#issuecomment-939435185

myContainer = myContainer or Adjustable.Container:new({name = "myContainer", width = 100, height = 100})

function myContainer:toggleFixedSize()
  if not self.FixedSize then
    self.connectedToBorder = {}
    self.connectedToBorder.bottom = true
    self.connectedToBorder.left = true
    self.connectedToBorder.top = true
    self.connectedToBorder.right = true
    self:setAbsolute(true)
    self.FixedSize = true
  else
    self.connectedToBorder = {}
    self.FixedSize = false
  end
end

myContainer = myContainer or Adjustable.Container:new({name = "myContainer", width = 100, height = 100})

function myContainer:toggleFixedSize()
  if not self.FixedSize then
    self.connectedToBorder = {}
    self.connectedToBorder.bottom = true
    self.connectedToBorder.left = true
    self.connectedToBorder.top = true
    self.connectedToBorder.right = true
    self:setAbsolute(true)
    self.FixedSize = true
  else
    self.connectedToBorder = {}
    self.FixedSize = false
  end
end

you can then use

myContainer:toggleFixedSize()

myContainer:toggleFixedSize()

to toggle making it movable but not resizable

Wow thanks, it seems I asked about this very thing already over a year ago..

cizra•7/26/22, 9:55 PM

How exactly should I use the envs 257.., those with colors settable in settings UI? Namely, how do I figure out which env corresponds to a given color?

myContainer = myContainer or Adjustable.Container:new({name = "myContainer", width = 100, height = 100}) function myContainer:toggleFixedSize() if not self.FixedSize then self.connectedToBorder = {} self.connectedToBorder.bottom = true self.connectedToBorder.left = true self.connectedToBorder.top = true self.connectedToBorder.right = true self:setAbsolute(true) self.FixedSize = true else self.connectedToBorder = {} self.FixedSize = false end end
