You're using a version before miniwindows were introduced... maybe you should try upgrading?

Thanks David, I was just about to start converting 300 lines of python to lua.

I did update to the latest version available on the Downloads page before posting - would be good if the link somehow always pointed to the latest version available. :)

Edit:

Another question, does lua have the same issues with threading as python?

See the MUSHclient FAQ, item 4 :-)
http://www.gammon.com.au/forum/?id=7794

Part of the reasoning is that people who see forum announcements will see the "test" versions, whereas people who aren't interested in following the latest-and-greatest will just go to the download page.


Well, I'm not sure which issues Python has with threading. :) Lua does not natively support concurrent multi-threading, although it does have something called cooperative multi-threading ("coroutines" in its vocabulary). What kind of issues are you running into?

I can't say for sure anymore, been a while, but I recall having problems using time.sleep().

Maybe I forgot to thread it though. :)

Oh... if you're just sleeping the script, then yes, I think that that will cause the whole client to block until the call to sleep ends. I think that normally what you do is to create a timer that, after the desired time, calls the script again. Nick has several examples of how to do this with coroutines on the forums; I don't remember the links or post titles off-hand, but I think one of the keywords is "pausing".

I can't get mini windows to work? is there a tab or something I need to click or should I just delete my mushclient and reload it from scratch?

In what way is it not working? If this is related to your other post about the experience bar, try what I suggested there.
