Hi, Using nick's chat_redirector I need a script that captures these:

I'm having a hard time w/ lua, it's not a language I know and I'm on ubuntu so I can't capture to notepad at least that is my understanding (it keeps crashing even after I switch to 98 etc), so I need a lua script that captures this and redirects to a blank world.

[PKTALK A] Person: 'whatever they say.'
[PKTALK B] Person: 'whatever they say.'
[PKTALK C] Person: 'whatever they say.'
[PKTALK A] MyName: 'whatever I say' [58]
[PKTALK B] MyName: 'whatever I say' [58]
[PKTALK C] MyName: 'whatever I say' [58]
**58 changes depending on who is online
Someone tells you 'hi'
You tell Someone 'hi'
Someone shouts 'a'
[33] people heard you shout 'hi'
**Comment=(33 changes depending on the people in my area)
[ARCHON] Someone: whatever they say
[34] MyName: whatever I say
[5] alliance members heard you say, 'whatever I say'
**comment = [5] can change depending on how many people are online.
'whatever I say' you say.
You say, 'whatever I say'
[CLAN] Someone: 'whatever they say'
[5] clan members heard you say, 'whatever I say'

currently I have this from nick's previous thread:

<trigger
enabled="y"
match="^[A-Za-z]+ (says|shouts|yells|tells you) \'(.*?)\'$"
regexp="y"
script="redirect"
sequence="100"
>
</trigger>

and only tells/yells captures/works for me (think I added tells, but if someone could help me I would appreciate it, thank you

on a side note... I would like to be able to replace text in a game okay.. for example..

When I lose detect invis in the game it says:
You feel different as your senses become less heightened.
I would like to replace that line with:
**Detect Invis Gone**
Is there a way to do that? and is there a way to color it, aka make it yellow and highlight it? Is there something else similar I can do instead?

The highlighting I can do in python, but lua... no idea

with respect to your first question, you will need several triggers... for example:

<triggers>
<trigger
enabled="y"
match="^\[(.+)\] (.+)\: (\'(.*)\'|\'(.*)\' \[\d+\])$"
regexp="y"
send_to="2"
sequence="100"
>
<send>FIRED!</send>
</trigger>
</triggers>

works for these types:

[PKTALK A] Person: 'whatever they say.'
[PKTALK A] MyName: 'whatever I say' [58]

Thank you.. but.. I can't use python.. it has to be lua.. from what I understand.. and that trigger just sent:

[PKTALK A] me: 'eek' [38]
FIRED!

It doesn't capture in the world window..

any reason you can't use python? as far as the trigger... what would you like it to do? go to the redirect script? if so modify it like so... I don't have the script, etc... so I'm just testing to make sure the trigger I gave you would be able to capture things, etc...

<triggers>
  <trigger
   enabled="y"
   match="^[(.+)] (.+)\: (\'(.*)\'|\'(.*)\' [\d+])$"
   regexp="y"
   script="redirect"
   send_to="12"
   sequence="100"
  >
  </trigger>
</triggers>

here is another you'll need...

<triggers>
  <trigger
   enabled="y"
   match="^(\w+) (say\,|tell (\w+)|says|shouts|yells|tells you) \'(.*)\'$"
   regexp="y"
   script="redirect"
   send_to="12"
   sequence="100"
  >
  </trigger>
</triggers>

I think this is the last one you'd need...

<triggers>
  <trigger
   enabled="y"
   match="^[\d+] (clan members|people|alliance members) heard you (shout|say\,) \'(.*)\'$"
   regexp="y"
   script="redirect"
   send_to="12"
   sequence="100"
  >
  </trigger>
</triggers>

when you edits the triggers etc... you need to make sure that the punctuation is also included...
i.e. you didn't give an example of yells
if it is like so...

Someone yells 'a'

it will work fine... however if it is like

Someone yells, 'a'

you will have to do some minor tweaking, etc...
