Anyone needing/wanting help with zMUD?

[Taziar]

Lately I have had a lot of fun writing, re-writing, and modifying scripts for zMUD. If anyone has any need for help, or has an idea they want a script written for, or anything else relating to zMUD please feel free to mail me here on the forums and I will help as much as I can.

I have a post on wotmudarchives.org forums in the zMUD section with a bunch of scripts also.

Happy mudding!

Any chance you have a simple door script, that aliases a key for close/open when you either look direction or run into a door?

Just something like
"look east
the woodendoor is open.
alias 4 open woodendoor
alias 5 close woodendoor" ?

This is from my post in the zMUD section on wotmudarchives.org forums...

Door Script, originally copied from Zain? and changed to personal preference.

Code: Select all

#CLASS {Doors}
#ALIAS kd {knock @door1}
#ALIAS ud {unlock @door1}
#ALIAS pd {pick @door1}
#VAR door1 {}
#TRIGGER {The %1 seems to be closed.} {#VAR door1 %1;#ECHO %1 is now set as door1}
#TRIGGER {You skillfully discover a hidden %1.} {#VAR door1 %1;#ECHO %1 is now set as door1}
#TRIGGER {The %1 is closed.} {#VAR door1 %1;#ECHO %1 is now set as door1}
#TRIGGER {The %1 is open.} {#VAR door1 %1;#ECHO %1 is now set as door1}
#TRIGGER {The %1 is obviously open.} {#VAR door1 %1;#ECHO %1 is now set as door1}
#TRIGGER {The %1 is quite visible.} {#VAR door1 %1;#ECHO %1 is now set as door1}
#CLASS 0

type kd to knock @door1
type ud to unlock @door1
type pd to pick @door1

You could add an alias to open and close @door1 or setup a macro.

Alias example:

Code: Select all

#ALIAS od {open @door1}
#ALIAS cd {close @door1}

I set up a macro for both opening and closing @door1

Macro example:

Code: Select all

#KEY ADD open {@door1}
#KEY SUB close {@door1}

This is a variant of the same script (also attributed to Zain!).

sd1 and sd2 to set doors, x and xx to open/close ones that you find. It's not as good as Taziar's, doesn't have the same flexibility and case coverage that it does, but I thought I'd share. I've kind of adjusted to it at this point.

Code: Select all

#CLASS {doors}
#ALIAS sd1 {
  #VAR door %1
  #ECHO %1 is now set as door 1.
  }
#ALIAS sd2 {
  #VAR door2 %1
  #ECHO %1 is now set as door 2.
  }
#ALIAS x {open @door3}
#ALIAS xx {close @door3}
#ALIAS z {open @door}
#ALIAS p {close @door}
#ALIAS 2 {close @door2}
#ALIAS 1 {open @door2}
#TRIGGER {The %1 seems to be closed.} {
  #var door3 %1
  #echo %1 is now set as door3
  }
#TRIGGER {The %1 is closed.} {
  #var door3 %1
  #echo %1 is now set as door3
  }
#TRIGGER {The %1 is open.} {
  #var door3 %1
  #echo %1 is now set as door3
  }
#CLASS 0

thanks guys, I'll see which one I find to my liking. Maybe I'll just stick with manually assigning aliases

[Spyder]

Does anyone have a script that helps to highlight offensive weaves and status effects?

For example

Fear/Chill/Contagion etc (coloured in bright red)
Spikes/fball/hoa/fstrike/zing (coloured in like fluro yellow or something)

I can make a trigger to do this anyways but i don't know anything about scripting in that fashion
I am getting over re triggering these everytime my pc dies or a hdd brick. If someone can show me the framework i'll happily finish the product

[Naerin]

Yeah, this is very doable. The only part I don't have is the message you get when you've been woven along with the variations (enormous fireball, melty spikes, etc), but here's the form.

#CLASS {WeaveHighlighting}
#TRIGGER {Your body is pierced by razor sharp ice spikes sent by} {#CW yellow}
....
#CLASS 0

In general: #TRIGGER {WeavePattern} {#CW <color>} for everything you want to color

Colors you can use: black, blue, green, cyan, Red, magenta, brown, gray, yellow, white

Here are some I use. I'm not a pro at this stuff, but I color mine like this: {#COLOR #FFFFFF,#FF2255} using hex colors because heck if I can figure out what all the color names are. Not sure if it works in ZMUD, but does in CMUD. Also, what pattern do you use to make sure that the string comes on a new line so someone can't accidentally trigger the color? I color a bunch of other stuff to but these are mostly the weave ones plus some other randoms...

You feel isolated from the Source!
You lose all sense of the True Source here.

I didn't know this, so I looked it up! ^ is Zmud's operator for forcing pattern recognition only on newlines. One sec and I'll add all that stuff..
