I downloaded a few scripts the other night, one for a health and mana bar. My question is, how do I import these?

Importing Settings
This dialog allows you to import settings from another MUD file. The settings in the file being imported are shown on the left. The settings to be imported into memory are shown on the right. You can highlight items in either list, the click one of the arrow buttons in the middle to copy it from one side to another. The settings that you have copied to the list on the right are imported into memory when you click the Import button.

The filter list below the left window selects the type of information being imported. You can import aliases, triggers, buttons, macros, variables, paths, speed menu items, directions, status bars, tab completion words, colors, etc.

You can also import an entire Class of settings. Simple select "Classes" from the filter list, select the class you want to import, and click the Import button. Note that this operation cannot be undone. To remove a class of settings from the list on the right you must remove each setting individually.

Alternative Method
There is another way to import settings or move them between files. Simply go into the Settings Editor (click Settings on the main toolbar). This will display the current settings stored in memory. Now, select Open from the File menu and open another Settings file. This file will be shown in a second window. You can now drag and drop settings between these two windows. You can drag and drop class folders, and all settings within the class folder will be moved. You can select multiple items by holding down the Shift or Ctrl keys as you select, just like in the Windows Explorer. You can also use the Select All option in the Edit menu to select all settings. Also, keep in mind that you can have as many settings files open as you want. Just keep using the File/Open menu command to open new windows. When you are done, use the File/Save command to save the settings in each file that you have changed.

Since dragging and dropping settings works just like moving files within the Windows Explorer, this is the newer and preferred way to copy settings. However, you can *only* import the "Other" settings such as Colors using the Settings/Import dialog described at the beginning of this topic.

Directly from the help files, it's all you need.

Most scripts come in one of two forms.

A series of lines, all of which start with #COMMANDNAME
#AL temp1 {This is a test}
#TR {This is a test} {#SAY If you type 'temp1', you should get this line too}

These can simply be pasted to the command line

A series of settings, each broken into parts, with each part labeled with the box it goes into in the Settings Editor.
Alias
Name: temp1
Value: This is a test

Trigger
Pattern: This is a test
Value: #SAY If you type 'temp1', you should get this line too

These must be created one setting at a time by:
- click the appropriate button to open the Settings Editor (or change the type of settings it displays)
- click the New button
- paste each part of the setting to the appropriate box
- click the Save button
- do the next setting

As you can probably tell, the first method is easier for most scripts that involve more than one setting.
