Dump of mudlet related things for y'all

[Adael]

Two updates to the files in the dropbox:

I spent a bit of time the last couple days working on something for the mapper that I've wanted to do for awhile, but hadn't gotten around to yet.

...


For anyone who ends up using these, the variable "wotmudmapper.currentID" is no longer a number, but a list, that could be empty, of length 1, or longer. Use that as you will

As of now, this seems to work as intended. I'll probably rewrite some stuff and make it cleaner soon, but lmk if you think anything unintentional is happening.

This newer version of the mapper is working as intended. I have deleted the old mapper triggers/scripts/aliases, and promoted what were labeled as TEST ones to actual. These are now the default ones I will mess with/fix/inform you about if asked

I also added triggers/scripts/aliases for a tic timer. It appears to be working semi-decently, I don't typically use one myself but others do I know and would like one. It needs to fire off of a trigger once to calibrate and start, which could be (most) anything that normally designates a tic has happened (ie loss of fleelag, sunrise, sunset, etc. The list in the triggers may not be comprehensive however, and I will gladly add anything that might be missing).
Once it has something to kick-start it, the timer should send you a message ~7 seconds before every tic. It gradually updates the average tic length the longer you're logged on, so it may be a second or two off at the start.

You can toggle it on/off with "tictimer" (if you turn it back on, it will need something to calibrate the start of a tic with just like when you first log in), or if it appears to be off you can try to "resettictimer" to fix it (again needing a tic marker to recalibrate the start).

Fixed a small error with the mapper where it didn't treat being blind the same as being in the dark like it should. Also slightly cleaned up some of the writing of things.

Also adjusted the tic timer to save the tic time when you close mudlet, and load it again when you open mudlet. This way once it has a start-of-tic notification to go off of, it can (hopefully) be slightly more accurate at the start.

[Adael]

Essentially, all that's missing is the area around Keep/n of Keep/up n and w to Dark Road, Maze, and actually inside the DS cities TKD/Keep/SH/Dark Fortress/KK/H'Krreth, as well as Seandar/Falme on the SS end.

I'll get around to making alts on other sides eventually to do those

DSers can rejoice, I updated the map with (so long as I'm not mistaken and missed something) all of the DS cities as well as the areas around Keep, up n to Dark Road, and Maze that were missing.

Now essentially all that should be missing are any SS related places (Seandar and Falme).

Additionally, updated some of the triggers and stuff to slightly change how the mapper deals with flees and correcting when it lands in rooms with possibly hidden doors. Nothing too major, just small things that bugged me.

Cheers!

Hi I'm failing to get the map to load

Could you just quickly let me know exactly what needs to be installed?

installed the mapper script and the selected the map via settings.

[Adael]

I’ll approximately copy/paste this from another thread, as Katherine worded it better than I would’ve

To get started, here's the high level overview of the process:

1. download the .dat file from the link

2. go to mudlet preferences -> mapper and import the map DAT file (load another map file from:)

3. download the xml scripts, triggers, and aliases

4. import them as a package, this will add scripts, aliases and triggers to your mudlet profile. The scripts should automatically execute which will cause a map window to appear over the main window.

I do them in this order mainly because step 3 will automatically open the map window in mudlet and I like to have map data available when that happens. Just personal preference. Its probably ok to do 3, 4, 1, 2 in that order if you like.

Steps 3 and 4 are analogous to z/cmuds map calibration wizard. It sets up mudlet to track the player as the player moves between rooms. This is different for every mud, thus there are distinct steps for doing this in mudlet.

Could keep an archive of all this information over on Archives... *wink*

Updated the triggers for the tic timer a bit to include a few missing ones I came across.

[Ahri]

Turns out I was just trying to use an older version of mudlet

New version worked perfectly!

[Ahri]

Hey Adael!

Can there be a command in the tick timer to set the length?

At the moment my character is hungry and looking at the last 5 tics,
7 seconds warning was 4 seconds before tic
7 seconds warning was 7.5 seconds before tic
7 seconds warning was 5 seconds before tic
7 seconds warning was 6 seconds before tic
10 seconds before
7 seconds before
7 seconds before

Hrmm and i reset client and it didnt turn back on

@Adael Back when I was using TinTin++ {and that is several years ago now } I used to initialise my tic timer {modelled on a phase-locked-loop if that means anything to anyone} by sending "time" on session start and noting if the response was the same as the previous one - if it wasn't then waiting a second (so as not to spam the Server TOO much) and then sending "time" again - if it was different then a tick had just happened (and then the system would fall back to waiting for ten seconds less that the expected tick interval {to avoid quarter/half tic strings} before watching for another tic string)...

I guess it would be possible to design something similar for Mudlet, but I have never sat down and tried to code such stuff.
The lua-fu is not strong in this one...!

Given that there is a hard-coded limit of 50 trigger items per trigger I suspect that you will need several to contain all the tic trigger phrases - I do have a list of some - these use TinTin++ wildcards so will need tweaking for Mudlet - and they are around five years old so I do not know it they are still current:
