Mudlet uses the telnet GA/EOR signal to determine that the game is done sending lines for processing

Hmmm, interesting. So it'll depend on whether I'm battling or just spamming 'score' and 'inventory'

demonnicOP•7/27/22, 2:39 PM

It's also handy for detecting prompts in triggers without having to write a regex to match every prompt it might be customized to

D

demonnicOP•7/27/22, 2:40 PM

Generically speaking the N is 'network lag' and the S is 'system lag'

D

demonnicOP•7/27/22, 2:41 PM

But the network lag is effected by the server processing time and such, I think.

Does it mean I should just stick a byte 249 in the end of every prompt, and that's it? Or should I negotiate this?

D

demonnicOP•7/27/22, 2:42 PM

I don't think it's negotiated per se, I think you can just stick the byte at the end of every prompt, but I'm not 100% sure on that. I don't do much work on the server end of things.

cizra•7/27/22, 2:43 PM

OK, thanks.

One of the other game admins here might speak up and tell you better than I can. heh

Ddemonnic I'm pretty sure Mudlet works on ipv6 in general

If it is NOT a "secure" connection, It connects to the FIRST IP address that gets found
whether that is IPv4 or IPv6 is down to the OS/DE/phases of the moon/what colour underwear (if any) you are wearing.

In a perfect world we'd be trying all addresses found and use the "best" one (for whatever constitutes "best") not just the first - the so-called "Happy Eyeballs" approach.

Failing that, we'd offer a knob to give the end-user some choices: ("First found" {the current situation}|"IPv4 Only"|"IPv6 Only") - which is something I have mooted previously...

cizra•7/27/22, 3:17 PM

These days, with Google, Wikipedia and whatnot all available over IPv6, I'd expect it to mostly work, if present.

You really need your ISP to provide IPv6 though - some of them just don't get this new-fangled (20+ year old) version of the Internetworking Protocol. Like say Virgin Media in the UK - they may offer Gigabit connectivity - but only over IPv4, as this epic (over 10 years running) Community Forum thread shows:
https://community.virginmedia.com/t5/QuickStart-set-up-and/IPv6-support-on-Virgin-media/td-p/35748/page/138

IPv6 support on Virgin media

Does anyone know whether (and if so when) Virgin plan to implement IPv6 on its network?

cizra•7/27/22, 4:06 PM

Yeah, but if they don't offer IPv6, your OS or Mudlet won't even try to use it. Thus if it is attempted yet fails, then probably something's moldy there.

SlySven ☕•7/27/22, 4:16 PM

For a good few years I ran a SIXXS tunnel to get me some IPv6 connectivity - but they sunsetted that in 2017 (IIRC) on the basis that "Your ISP should be offering IPv6 connectvity by now" - as it happened the tunnel got blocked a couple of years prior to that because setting up a tunnelled connection using SIXXS's AYIAY (Anything-in-anything) protocol needed a valid EMail and VM's own built-in EMail filtering blocked the validation process...

cizra•7/27/22, 4:27 PM

Good times. Pings were lower over SixXS tunnel than native IPv4.

without seeing the line, I'm gonna guess something passed in a nil value where it's expecting a true/false one

D

demonnicOP•7/27/22, 5:43 PM

sure thing =)

Vadi•7/27/22, 7:05 PM

What is your question?

V

Vadi•7/27/22, 7:06 PM

It's certainly a problem, but not a question

D

demonnicOP•7/27/22, 7:07 PM

Hard to say from just the code, nothing jumps out immediately as broken. Anything in the error

console?

V

Vadi•7/27/22, 7:07 PM

I have no clue. Try to debug it - for example, put print() statements in it to see that various parts work as you'd expect it to

D

demonnicOP•7/27/22, 7:07 PM

and yeah, next step after that is adding some echos to figure out what's not as you expect it to be

D

demonnicOP•7/27/22, 7:16 PM

what does

lua display(AR.RescueList)

lua display(AR.RescueList)

lua display(AR.RescueList)

lua display(AR.RescueList) show? If it has the names like "Zelda", "Acknn" as you've shown them above you need string.title, not string.lower

D

demonnicOP•7/27/22, 7:17 PM

string.lower("ZELDA") == "zelda"
string.title("ZELDA") == "Zelda"

string.lower("ZELDA") == "zelda"
string.title("ZELDA") == "Zelda"

string.lower("ZELDA") == "zelda"
string.title("ZELDA") == "Zelda"

string.lower("ZELDA") == "zelda"
string.title("ZELDA") == "Zelda"

I want the map to fix the position above the screen instead of repeating it now. What do you need to do?

Create a big border on top, and then a geyser miniconsole or an adjustablecontainer on the border. Then move the map into it

V

Vadi•7/28/22, 5:56 AM

Yes, that's exactly what I mean :)

create a miniconsole, then see https://wiki.mudlet.org/w/Manual:Lua_Functions#appendBuffer on how to move it
