are there any way i can set up Zmud so i can use the MIP from the mud i play because then i can catch the tells and chats from the mud to another window.
right now i have the problem with multiline tells/chats so i hope this can solve my problem

I'm sorry idk what MIP is acronym for. Normal way to log tells and chats to a diff window is

#TRIGGER {^(%w) tells you '(*)'} {#WINDOW channels %1 tells you '%2'}
#TRIGGER {^(%w) chats '(*)'} {#WINDOW channels %1 chats '%2'}

Is the way i would work it.

MIP means Messaging Interface Protocol and the problem is not catching single line tells and chats but Multi lines.
i have alot of triggers set up to catch the channels we got right now but when someone writes some that fill up more than one line i'm foobar. then some text is showned in the channel window and some in te main window

You mean Portal MIP, right? For I fear that this is not possible - MIP has that restricting license that disallows its implementation in anything other than the Portal client. IMHO that's Ultra-Bad Licensing Policy (TM), but there's nothing that we could do about it, so...

Tell the MUD that is using MIP to start using MXP instead. They'd get a lot more client support that way. I don't see much reason for any MUD other than 3 Kingdoms (the Portal client is written by the people who run this MUD I think) to use MIP instead of MXP. With MXP line tags it would be easy to set up lines that MXP users can redirect to another window. Or, with Pueblo tags they can do that same thing. MXP is an open spec and is supported by several MUD clients now. No sense using restricted protocols when the existing open protocols will do everything you need.

The other option you have is to see if there is a command to tell the MUD how wide your "terminal" is. If you can set this to a large number, then the MUD will send text on a single line and you can let zMUD itself do the line wrapping. Then your triggers would work fine.
