Hi,

I am using a Trigger I found on the forum:

#TR {{tells you|replies|on ClanTalk|OOC's}} {#CAP Chats}

I like it but I have a couple of questions. I want to make the text bigger and maybe change the color too. I also would like to make it so the text does not show up in the main window.

Thanks,
Shrake

To do the first things, the easiest way is simply to change the font in the Chats window. Each window has it's own settings, so you can click on that window to select it, then click Options to change the settings in that window.

To do the last, just change your trigger value from "{#CAP Chats}" to "{#CAP Chats;#GAG}"

1a)If you want to make all the text bigger rather than just this one line then you will probably want to look at the Styles Preferences. Color schemes can be found there as well.

1b)for more limited application, you can use the COLOR and FONT MXP tags. FONT I believe also has color support, so you won't necessarily need to use the COLOR tag.

Hi Rehab,

Thanks for the quick reply. I put that trigger in and I think it is working but I double clicked the window and it went to tab. Now I cannot get it to go back into split screen at top? Nvm I closed tab and then it came back as split screen.

Thanks,

Hi Rehab,

I have a question. The trigger works great but alot of times all of the text does not show up in the window. I get most of the sentence then it cuts off the rest. Is there anything to fix this.

Thanks,

sounds like a mudside wrapping issue. Turn it off, set it to a ridiculously high number, or rewrite the trigger to use multiple states so you can capture the entire channel/tell text.

Hi,

How do you turn off wrapping? or set it to high number?

Thanks,

that's something specific to your game.

You haven't provided any details other than that you found someone else's trigger and it's not working correctly for you.

Hello,

Sorry I did not give you more information. I am using this trigger :
#TR {{tells|sales|gossip|OOC|you tell}} {#CAP Chats}

I have changed it so it will work on my mud. It does seem to work great except that it does not show all of the words that are sent to me . My mud does not let me turn off word wrapping. I tried turning it off on Cmud but it did not work . I was hoping there was a way around this but if not then I will make do . I will include some examples of tells and gossip so you have an idea of what it looks like.

You tell Sahasrara: How goes it tonight?

Sahasrara tells you: good, u?

[gossip] Sahasrara: "mark" tip of teh day: If you are unable to pick up
some coins off the ground one second, then all of
asudden you can pick up the corpse, you may have
just had an encounter with a thief...
Please let me know if you need more information.

Thanks,

You need to tell us a bit more. First, when you quote what the mud is sending, put it between [code]...[/code] tags, so that it will maintain the spacing that is coming from the mud. Second, we will also need to see what signifies the end of the chat message. Do you have a prompt? Or is there some other line at the end of a message?

Hello,
I do have a prompt . I cannot see any other indication of the end of the message. I will try to find something that will let you know what can be used.

Thanks,

A prompt will do. Just copy an example on the forum again, this time putting it within code tags and including some mud text before and after the piece you want captured.

Hello,
I hope this is what you are looking for?:

[You tell Sahasrara: How goes it tonight? /[gossip] Sahasrara: "mark" tip of teh day: If you are unable to pick up
some coins off the ground one second, then all of/[ooc]: Mithras goes mmMMmmMMmmMMmm./You tell yourself: heya]

If this is not what you were looking for let me know.

Thanks,

Not quite. I don't see any prompts in that quotation, unless the slash is your prompt? Here is what you do. Don't try to type in the stuff from the mud--literally cut and paste it from the mud output. We need to see the actual spacing of the lines. Be sure to include more than just the lines you want captured--get the lines before it and after it, including the prompt. After pasting it into the forum, add the string [code] before the quotation, and the string [/code] after it. It will look something like this:

[code]
myprompt> Some other stuff from the mud.
myprompt> You tell Sahasrara: How goes it tonight?
myprompt> More stuff from the mud.
[/code]

And when you post it to the mud, it will look like this:
