I've been trying to capture the room names from the MUD Output based on the color code of the text. This works when the room name appears on a new line.

Consider the following two snippets from the MUD. The name of the room is "The Yellow Shield's Inn". It is colored in Cyan on a black background. No other text received from the MUD is in this color.

- = - = - = - = - = -

* HP:Healthy MV:Winded >
The Yellow Shield's Inn
[ obvious exits: D ]
An elegant Domani lady stands here looking at you.
A tall Domani man is standing here, stroking his moustache.
An elite guard of Bandar Eban is standing here, looming over all others.
The innkeeper bustles about, helping guests into rooms.

- = - = - = - = - = -

But it doesn't work when the room name appears on the same line as the prompt. I.e.

- = - = - = - = - = -

* HP:Healthy MV:Winded > The Yellow Shield's Inn
[ obvious exits: D ]
An elegant Domani lady stands here looking at you.
A tall Domani man is standing here, stroking his moustache.
An elite guard of Bandar Eban is standing here, looming over all others.
The innkeeper bustles about, helping guests into rooms.

- = - = - = - = - = -

Any suggestions ?

So, what trigger have you been using?

I just basically created a trigger using the wizard that matched (*) with the "trigger on line color" option checked, and the color set to cyan.

This equates to:

#TRIGGER {(*)$} {@roomname = %1} {line=3}

First there is an error in your trigger fix it by removing the @
#TRIGGER {(*)$} {roomname = %1} {line=3}

Since the Line color starts with the color of the prompt and not Cyan add a second Ansi pattern trigger like this
#TRIGGER {> %e[0;36m(*)$} {roomname=%1} "" {color}

Okay thanks Nexela, got it to work :)

Had to make some small modifications to it first though, had to add pattern matching for black text as well for some reason.

#TRIGGER {> %e[36m(*)%e[0m(*)$} {roomname=%1} "" {color}

Nice to know I shoved I mean showed you on the right path to take :P

Highlight a room name then open your settings editor goto the trigger erase everything but > and a space then Shift-Ins or CTR-V paste and it should paste the exact color codes you need. then just delete the roomname and repalce it with (*) close the settings and check and see if it works.

If that doesn't work then (don't see why it wouldn't)

#Debug junk.txt colorcode.txt
move into a room
#Debug

open the colorcode.txt file in your zmud folder find your room title and it will have the ansi codes ya need in front of it

Ohh I think I have a guess as to what the problem might be though :P

$ End of line is getting reset back to black :P And with the end of the line not being cyan it doesn't match so removing the $ should fix it or just adding a simple %e[0m$ to the end should fix it. the (*) shouldn't be needed at all

Yup I think you hit the nail on the head. I sorta figured that myself last night while I was folling around with the trigger. Thx :)

read some of this but got hard to see how it works..Is there away to capture what color there is on a line? would like to be able to catch this

Blaha tells you 'green'

In red, is there anyway to make a script that

tell blaha 'green'

in the same color as he told me it in?

Would appriciate an answer if this is possible or not and if possible some help in doing it.

Oh, nice hijack attempt. [V]

This topic is concentrating on how to detect room names. Please use a separate topic for anti-bot-detection questions (yes, I know you've already posted one).

Heh this isn't really a hijack, but i guess my question is, what if you don't know what line it is, or the room name changes color?

Like ex. The Dragon Inn how could you configure that to capture in another window?
