In the zMud forums, there are a couple examples of "Finished Scripts" for Achaea channel capture scripts, however, try as I might (again, not much of a scripting gal) I can't seem to get them to work appropriately in CMUD.

What I'd like to do is capture the following example text into a window, have a tab for each channel, and also have a unique color (defined in CMUD, not using the MUD ascii colors) for each channel. I'm assuming the name of each unique channel I'm wanting to capture isn't necessary - that I can edit any examples provided for specifics?

Anyway, here's a couple of examples:

#WINDOW Chat
#CLASS Channels
#TR {^~(*)~):*} {#cap chat;#T+ chancap}
#CLASS Channels/ChanCap
#TR {*} {#CAP chat}
#TR {H:} {#T- chancap} {prompt|nocr}
#CLASS 0

I hope that makes sense. I also hope I didnt forget anything; I did that from memory. I don't remember what the Achaean prompt is like, but that works on the Aetolian and Imperian prompts. It also wont have a separate tab for each window. You're on your own with th, I don't have enough time right now to be reading help files. If you search the zmud finished scripts forum for scripts by me, you will see an old one for channel capture, and the title refers to one by another person.. lalayna or something. Her's had a separate window for each channel, so you might get ideas from that. Good luck with it.

Or alternatively, the (to my mind) much easier way:

If only all muds would offer the equivalent of "config screenwidth 0"! :)

Thanks for the info on how to turn off wrapping as well - that helps save about 10 more questions I had related to capturing text over multiple lines. :)

Again, I appreciate the quick responses and the help very much.

oh, one more quick question - where would I /could I throw my colorizations in that script?

So if I wanted Druid to be one color, Viridi to be another color (output I'm referring too), how would I insert that into the example provided?

You could do it a number of ways. The #cap command preserves colour, but if you want to recolour it anyway, the easiest way would probably be with triggers in the channel window like:

#trig {^~(Druid~):*} {#color high,green}

I was told they deactivated the ability to turn off wrapping in Achaea. Glad to see I was wrong, its one of my fav config options in Aetolia and I felt sorry for you all :) Fang's way is much better.

I also wrap it to 150 instead of 80; giving me more vertical 'space' meaning combat scrolls slower.

I highly recommend a widescreen monitor - I like having lots of windows for different things as well as the text output, and the extra horizontal space really helps.
