And how can i control what status bars come to what window?

ATM i need second line to the default status line but if i have multiple tabs, it only clears the old one(s) away not increasing its size.

I have multiple tabs but i need to break them to multiple lines or separate window as the one line is not enough.

Also, how can i replace txt sent by mud?

like:
"bob says hi"
to:
"bob says hi (bob is the dude who robbed you)"

1)status bars are limited to a single line in height. This cannot be changed. If you need more than one line, use a status WINDOW (same setting, it just uses the large text box where one would write code for things like triggers and buttons).

2)look into the use of #SUBSTITUTE in the help file. It shouldn't be too hard to work through.

but there is no way to define what bar is showed first?

And i dont get how substitute works.

puting "#SUBSTITUTE {'judicandus puorgo mangenic'} {'judicandus puorgo mangenic' (party heal)}" in to trigger partner does not work and i dont figure how other it could be used.

The easiest way to define which bar is showed first, is to manipulate its unsorted entry in the settings editor.
To do that follow these steps:
1. Check... View|Sort By...|None
2. Check... Show|Status Bars
3. Check... View|Toolbars|Filter Bar
4. Uncheck... Show|All
5. Uncheck... Show|Classes
6. In the Filter Bar's Class: box, Select... <all>
Now all the status bars in your script should be displayed in the script window.
7. Highlight a status bar entry and move each entry up or down using the Up or Down buttons in your Standard Buttons Toolbar to where you want them to be.
I trust you know how to re-adjust your settings when you are done.

If you intend to define its order purely from the script, I guess you will have to script it in the preferred order while ensuring that each status bar definition did not exist before, because simply rewriting a line in a later part the script does not change its position in the script.

#SUBSTITUTE from the command line produces a trigger with its 1st parameter as the Trigger Pattern, and its 2nd parameter - the substitution represented as the first paramenter in the #sub command used in the trigger.
