At the bottom-right of the screen there is timer which shows how long I have been connected to the world, is there a way to restart that timer without having to close and reopen the world's window?

I have written a plugin that will do that.

It can be downloaded from: http://www.gammon.com.au/mushclient/plugins/Timer.xml.

(You need to right-click and select "save file" to get it).

You can read about it here: Timer Plugin.

He meant the built in timer Nick.
Yours just adds a time connected as the status bar text.

Ah yes, I understand that. :)

There is some background stuff here that isn't obvious.

Weston, who started this thread, and who isn't necessarily a "he", asked for that in a support request, and I replied that it could not be done, however would a timer on the status bar do? The answer was "yes", hence this plugin.

However to answer the original question: no, the timer on the bottom RH corner cannot be changed, and is really a "total connect time" timer, not a "how long has this session being going" timer.

The activity list window shows the time connected this time around, and my plugin is intended to just be used as a general timer.

eg. If you have 10 minutes to find your corpse, then that would be useful to know how much of that time has elapsed.

The plugin is great! Thanks! :D


What do you think of this idea I had:

When a user double clicks on the time being displayed on the bottom RH corner it would be reset. Perhaps a confirmation, maybe make that confirmation optional.

That sounds rather official. :)

I guess that's nearly the end of this subject until #509 (hopefully) finds its way into a future version of MUSHclient.
Thank-you for all of the speedy assistance!

There is a new script function in version 3.46 - ResetStatusTime - that lets you reset that timer in a script.

Also, as you suggested, double-clicking it will reset it.
