If you're unfamiliar with IRE muds, their prompts generally look like this:

1234h, 1234m, 12345e, 12345w ex-

The "e" at the end is for equilibrium, while the "x" is for balance. When you don't have either one, it disappears, and looks something like this:

1234h, 1234m, 12345e, 12345w e-
OR
1234h, 1234m, 12345e, 12345w x-
OR
1234h, 1234m, 12345e, 12345w -

Which is kinda annoying. I'd rather the "ex-" stay, but have the letters turn red if you're off balance. How could I do that?

Gag the prompt entirely and reprint it using world.AnsiNote with whatever formatting, etc, you'd like.

Would that work if I have other stuff that triggers off my prompt?

Everything triggers off the prompt as normal, then the prompt is erased, then everything is written to the output window. I have some lines that match 3-4 triggers and get erased without interfering with each other.

Okay I've written the trigger which works, except it won't omit the prompt coming in from the MUD. I have it sending to script after omit, and checked the omit from output box, but I dunno why it doesn't work? Here's the trigger:


<triggers>
  <trigger
   enabled="y"
   match="^(?P&lt;h&gt;\d+)h, (?P&lt;m&gt;\d+)m(?:, (?P&lt;e&gt;\d+)e|)(?:, (?P&lt;w&gt;\d+)w|) (?P&lt;str&gt;c?e?x?k?d?b?\@?)-(?P&lt;kai&gt;[+]{1,5}--)?$"
   omit_from_output="y"
   regexp="y"
   send_to="14"
   sequence="100"
  >
  <send>local a 
 a = string.match ("%5", "ex")
 if a == "ex" then
  AnsiNote (ANSI (32, 40), "%1h, %2m, %3e, %4w", ANSI (32, 1, 40), " %5-")
 end
 if a == nil then
  a = string.match ("%5", "x")
   if a == "x" then
  AnsiNote (ANSI (32, 40), "%1h, %2m, %3e, %4w", ANSI (31, 1, 40), " e", ANSI (32, 1, 40), "x-") 
  else
 a = string.match ("%5", "e")
   if a == "e" then
  AnsiNote (ANSI (32, 40), "%1h, %2m, %3e, %4w", ANSI (32, 1, 40), " e", ANSI (31, 1, 40), "x", ANSI (32, 1, 40), "-")
  end
 end
end
</send>
  </trigger>
</triggers>

Is it printing the prompt coming in from the mud, and then the prompt you are printing out with AnsiNote?

Your trigger seems to work for me, with only one line appearing. Maybe you have another trigger left in the trigger list from an earlier experiment?

It actually prints the ANSI prompt before the prompt coming in from the MUD, which I thought was weird...

Nick Gammon Australia Forum Administrator Thu 26 Jul 2007 11:37 PM #8

Is that the next prompt? Triggers are only processed on a newline, so the most recent one will stay there until something else arrives. You need to to force a linefeed somehow (see the MUSHclient FAQ). You may be able to configure the MUD to do that.

"Convert IAC/EOR GA to newline" is what you are after. That's what IRE muds use.

ah yea, thanks. I thought I had already checked it.

EDIT: Nevermind I did already have it checked.
