Now, I've been messing with gmcp, and must say I freaking love it for getting stuff set up for my system to know what skills I have and other things that are normally hidden, but I have a question.

http://www.ironrealms.com/gmcp-doc

^^^^ on this site, there are 'Sent by Server' stuff which is what I use for capture, but my question is the 'Sent by Client' stuff, how does Cmud call this? Like if I want to do gmcp.char.skills.get and then give the skill name, so I don't have to do AB skillname, then capture the skill information each time, how is this doable if it even is?

You have to first enable the receiving end of it in settings of gmcp to get the response, and then use #sendgmcp TYPE MESSAGE for the client end of it

so for this:

Just copy/pasted exactly what you had above and I get

c TalonnbS | [2] TalonnbSilverain Comline : start :
d TalonnbS | [2] TalonnbSilverain Comline : stopped

No send, no response.....I used a skill I actually had, but still no response.

$message = %null
#addkey $message "group" "Vision"
#addkey $message "name" "Looking"
#sendgmcp Char.Skills.Get $message

is the alias I made

I don't know if it matters or not, but what I'm trying to do is capture the AB list which you can do with #var whatever %gmcp.char.skills.list.list but only after you do AB skillname, which is annoying spam. I was 'hoping' by doing #sendgmcp Char.Skills.Get $message would let me switch between skill groupings without doing the AB part

Wait, it doesn't seem to fire right away, it's like it waits for the next command from the Mud before it sends me the response....weird, but it works, thanks!

Edit: Although this apparently doesn't change the skill grouping for the char.skills.list.list for me....any ideas?

Edit2: Found it, I have to leave name blank, that does it. So if I just send group, it does what I wanted.

IRE only sends GMCP data with a prompt as far as I can tell. It's very annoying.

Edit: That is to say, you send the message and have to wait for/force a prompt to get a response.

Is there no way to ask for a response? There must be a way to ask for a response.

In theory the server is supposed to respond to a GMCP message immediately. If IRE is waiting to send it with other data, then that might be a bug on their end.

It's definitely an IRE thing, at least on aetolia, but their code is, of course, IRE-wide. It's been tested with multiple clients, so for sure it's not a cmud issue.
