Three plugins for Achaea.

First, an ATCP plugin that gets the data for the rest. After you add it, you have to log off and back on Achaea, if you're currently connected, to activate it.

http://sites.google.com/site/trevizemoonflair/mushclient/atcp

Second, another gauges plugin, this one uses the images from Nexus, Achaea's web client (with their permission). It's a zip file with bitmaps, unzip it to your normal plugin directory.

http://sites.google.com/site/trevizemoonflair/mushclient/ngauges

And third, a compass. Same as above, uses images from Nexus and is a .zip that needs to be unzipped into the plugin directory.

http://sites.google.com/site/trevizemoonflair/mushclient/ncompass

If you use any of them, you'll want to move the text to the right. This is the script in Lua to do that:

TextRectangle (150, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0x000000, 0, 0x000000, 0)

Enjoy!

It seems I'm not the only one who wrote an ATCP framework for gauges and compasses to trigger off. Happen to have a screenshot? Mine has the basic stuff working, except that I'm still adding features to it.

I used the bitmaps from Nexus, Dusty modified them to work well. Also, the ATCP plugin is mostly borrowed from Keldar, with his permission. I just stripped everything but the basics from it and made it broadcast to any other plugin that wants to listen.

Here's a screenshot of the compass and bars at work:

You've basically done what I have done too and am still working on. Nice. =)

That looks fantastic! It shows what the miniwindows can do.

Maybe make the textrectangle background colour closer to the background colour of the gauges, but that is just personal preference.

For example:


TextRectangle (150, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0x000000, 0, 0x3F484E, 0)

Hey....

stats = {
health = 100, maxhealth = 130,
mana = 100, maxmana = 100,
endurance = 100, maxendurance = 100,
willpower = 100, maxwillpower = 100,
exp = 0, maxexp = 100,

percent = function (stat)
local x = math.floor (stats[stat]/stats["max" .. stat]*100)
if x > 100 then x = 100 elseif x < 0 then x = 0 end
return x
end, -- func
}



gauges = {
name = GetWorldID () .. "1",

position = {5, 20, 35, 50, 65},

create = function (txt, num, col, pos)
WindowRectOp (gauges.name, 1,
26, gauges.position[pos]-1, 127, gauges.position[pos]+1,
ColourNameToRGB ("silver"))
WindowRectOp (gauges.name, 2,
27, gauges.position[pos], 127, gauges.position[pos]+10,
0x010101)
WindowRectOp (gauges.name, 2,
27, gauges.position[pos], 127-(100-num), gauges.position[pos]+10,
ColourNameToRGB (col))
local txtwidth = WindowTextWidth (gauges.name, "font", txt)
WindowRectOp (gauges.name, 2,
25-(txtwidth), gauges.position[pos], 25, gauges.position[pos]+10,
0x010101)
WindowText (gauges.name, "font", txt,
25-(txtwidth), gauges.position[pos], 0, gauges.position[pos]+10,
ColourNameToRGB ("silver"), false)
end, -- func

draw = function ()
gauges.create ("H:", stats.percent ("health"), "red", 1)
gauges.create ("M:", stats.percent ("mana"), "blue", 2)
gauges.create ("E:", stats.percent ("endurance"), "gold", 3)
gauges.create ("W:", stats.percent ("willpower"), "purple", 4)
gauges.create ("XP:", stats.percent ("exp"), "gray", 5)
end, -- func
}



Is there any way I can turn "health", "mana" etc into firing off a variable, rather than the ATCP plugin? I've tried a few variants (GetVariable ("Health") Can'get get anywhere though. Thanks, Scarn.

Get rid of the OnPluginBroadcast function and replace the stats table with:


stats = {
  percent = function (stat)
    local x = math.floor (tonumber (GetPluginVariable ("", stat))/tonumber (GetPluginVariable ("", "max" .. stat))*100)
    if x > 100 then x = 100 elseif x < 0 then x = 0 end
    return x
  end, -- func
  }


Just make sure you have each stat and max stat as a variable in the World, by the same names as used in the table.

You changed it. Put the script in exactly how I posted.

Ok so I'm a total noob, to muds and to MUSHclient. I've just downloaded it today and would like to know how to install/use these plugins.

I've downloaded those files, saved them as XML's and moved them to the plugin directory.

While in MUSHclient used "File->Plugins->Add" but I get errors as soon as they are loaded.

I think that I'm somehow downloading them wrong because the files I get don't look like XML files.

Any help will be appreciated, thanks!

You need to extract the file first, using a program like WinRAR or 7-zip. Merely renaming the compressed files does not make it possible for MUSHclient to read the plugin. :)

Ok, the problem wasn't the zip folders, it was the xml files. The first two files in the list.

How am I supposed to get the first two files to work?

I am having some trouble with installing this plugin. The NCompass and Ngauges are not working for some reason. I got the following error message when I try to install the Compass plugin.

Run-time error

Is that copied and pasted, or retyped? I didn't write that plugin, but I am not familiar with the tpairs function used near the top of your message.

Also, this looks strange:

85*: local right = compass.location[dir][1] + compass.dimension[dir][1]

It seems to be adding something to itself. Something which, according to the error, is nil (that is, the value does not exist).
