Try:

<trigger
enabled="y"
match="^(\(.+\): )?[A-Za-z]+ (says|yells|tells you), &quot;.+"
regexp="y"
script="redirect"
sequence="100"
>
</trigger>

<trigger
enabled="y"
match="^(\(.+\): )?You (say|tell|whisper)(?: .+)?, &quot;.+"
regexp="y"
script="redirect"
sequence="100"
>
</trigger>


Should fix your issues. I don't think I changed the first trigger, but just to make sure I kept both in my post. :)

I've toying with it here n there, found out the says are working in town and guild chats such as this:

(Sar-Sargoth): Raki says, "Thank you everyone for the hunt."
(Sar-Sargoth): Dhaed says, "Yes, thank you very much for the hunt."

But nothing I say in any kind of chat goes to the chat window, everything stays in in the main window:

(Clan Raven): You say, "Mhm."

You say in Moredhel, "Uhh."

(Sar-Sargoth): You say, "K."


And heres the plug in as it is loaded into the main window.

To help both of you we need to see, copied and pasted (not just described) the exact output from the MUD you want to match (and any similar output you want to not match).

Also, if you changed the plugin can you at least post the changed lines (or all of it?).

Regular expression matching can be fiddly to get right, an extra space somewhere and it won't match.

Sighh.. I'm really new at this. All I want it to do is match (<the name of any of the various guilds, cities, or clans>): <someone> says, "<something>" and pipe it to a new window. Also not to match regular <person> says, only group ones. But I can't figure out how because this is rather too complicated for my tiny brain.

Oh yeah, I thought it looked familiar. :P

Well, this part on page 1 looks for the end of a multi-line chat:


 -- if ends with quote, end of multi-line chat
  if line:sub (-1) == '"' then
    EnableTrigger ("multi_line_chat", false)  -- no more lines to go
  else
    EnableTrigger ("multi_line_chat", true)  -- capture subsequent lines
  end -- if


That is testing the last character of each line for the double-quote character. Now if you say a multi-line chat ends on a period or question-mark or something, you change it to:


 -- if ends with period or question-mark, end of multi-line chat
  if line:sub (-1) == '.' or line:sub (-1) == '?' then
    EnableTrigger ("multi_line_chat", false)  -- no more lines to go
  else
    EnableTrigger ("multi_line_chat", true)  -- capture subsequent lines
  end -- if


Now if that doesn't work, can you post what you did exactly, and what the lines from the MUD are?

And if you get errors, rather than saying "I got errors" can you post the exact error message, and what your code was that caused it?

You just linked me back to the start of this post. I don't really know how to go about changing it to only end on punctuation. I tried just throwing everything except ' into the script and I just got errors, so now I've got it sitting on a period.

Check this out:

Template:faq=7991 Please see the forum thread: http://gammon.com.au/forum/?id=7991.


In that thread, a little way down the page, I describe how to handle multi-line chats, and sending to another window. Rather than using a single multi-line trigger it uses a couple of triggers, where the start of a chat activates a second one.

In the multi-line example, it keeps processing chats until they end with a double-quote (by a simple search). You would just modify that to keep processing until they do *not* end with punctuation. Otherwise conceptually it would be very similar.

How would I go about making the multi-line trigger activate over a line that didn't end in punctuation? I know it leaves this pretty open, but the only true indicator on the MUD I play that somebody's chat message has ended is that it ended with a form of punctuation, usually a period it throws on the end if somebody forgot (or was simply too lazy) to add one themselves.

Edit: Thinking of the English language itself, it should probably also trigger from lines that end with a comma, due to the fact it indicates that only a portion of the sentence has passed.

What version of MUSHclient are you using? Version 4.43 may possibly fix this, as the style run colours sent to triggers are the updated ones as amended by other triggers.

Alright, it took me a while to figure it out, but I finally got the new worlds to open up and everything. My only problem is that I can't see to get color-based triggers to carry over.

For instance, if I disable the plugin that allows the chat worlds to open, pages show up color coded... one for incoming, another for outgoing. When the plugin is enabled, however, the colors are gone.

I've even tried to make a set of triggers for the new world, as well, with no luck.

This is because what is happening is that the trigger matches and omits the line, but the MUD is helpfully sending an extra blank line, which the trigger doesn't match.

I found this hard to fix for the individual matches (sometimes the blank lines were there and sometimes not), so I just use the plugin below that suppresses *all* blank lines.

There is a discussion about it somewhere else on this forum.

Template:saveplugin=Omit_Blank_Lines To save and install the Omit_Blank_Lines plugin do this:
  1. Copy between the lines below (to the Clipboard)
  2. Open a text editor (such as Notepad) and paste the plugin into it
  3. Save to disk on your PC, preferably in your plugins directory, as Omit_Blank_Lines.xml
  4. Go to the MUSHclient File menu -> Plugins
  5. Click "Add"
  6. Choose the file Omit_Blank_Lines.xml (which you just saved in step 3) as a plugin
  7. Click "Close"

One thing I have noticed and this is mush in general I think...
When I add the line
omit_from_output="y"
it will gag it from my main window but I still get a blank line in my scrolling.
Is there a way to fix this?
