New in Mudlet 4.9.0 (Jun 13, 2020)

New in Mudlet 4.8.1 (May 13, 2020)

This is an amazing release that adds drag and drop packages, custom cursors, draggable labels and more! Mudlet is now more powerful than ever for building stunning, modern interfaces for MUDs.
Drag and drop packages:
Thanks to Edru, who massively improved Geyser and Userwindows in the last update, you can now drag and drop packages into Mudlet to install them. Pretty simple!
Along with this comes a sysDropEvent, so you can code a custom action when a file is dropped into Mudlet. If you’re a package author, remember you can make use of the sysInstall event to notify that your package has been installed. Enjoy!
Carrion Fields added:
This game has put together a seriously impressive Mudlet package and we’re honoured to have them added to Mudlet officially! Double-click on CF in the Connection screen to play :)
Carrion Fields is a unique blend of high-caliber roleplay and complex, hardcore player-versus-player combat that has been running continuously, and 100% free, for over 25 years.
Choose from among 21 races, 17 highly customizable classes, and several cabals and religions to suit your playstyle and the story you want to tell. Our massive, original world is full of secrets and envied limited objects that take skill to acquire and great care to keep.
We like to think of ourselves as the Dark Souls of MUDs, with a community that is supportive of new players – unforgiving though our world may be. Join us for a real challenge and real rewards: adrenalin-pumping battles, memorable quests run by our volunteer immortal staff, and stories that will stick with you for a lifetime.
Adjustable Containers
Edru didn’t just stop with drag and drop – adjustable containers are in as well! What does it mean? It means labels/miniconsoles that you can move around and reposition just by dragging! No code needed.
Try this code in Mudlet:
testCon = testCon or Adjustable.Container:new({name="testContainer"})
testLabel = Geyser.Label:new({x=0, y=0, height="100%", width="100%", color="green"},testCon)
Search within the script:
Dicene also added a cool feature – you can now hit Ctrl+F to search within the script only, not your entire Mudlet profile!
He didn’t just stop there either – you can now toggle whenever you’d like to search within variables, default off so it’s quicker:
CP437 encoding now supported:
Thanks to SlySven, the CP437 encoding is now supported. Along with a custom font, Medievia makes use of this to draw amazing custom maps :)
CP437 encoding with a custom font
Check out a few more screenshots.
Custom cursors:
Yep, custom cursors are here! Curious? Download, drag, and drop this demo package into Mudlet to try all the cursors out :)
Big thanks to Edru for adding these in.
New API features:
gcms added MXP as another format that you can get data / events from, just like GMCP. Check it out!
demonnic did a pass over the table functions – table.contains() can now check within multiple nested tables, and table.collect(), table.n_collect(), table.matches(), table.n_matches() to make working with tables easier.
Thanks to Edru, you can now manipulate the syncing of a module with enableModuleSync(), disableModuleSync(), and getModuleSync(), and add/edit the Scripts as you see them in Mudlet with enableScript(), disableScript(), setScript(), getScript(), permScript(), and appendScript().
Edru also improved on the userwindows – you can now choose whenever they should be popped out or docked at start, and if docked, which area should they be in. Autodocking while dragging can now be disabled, too!
A few more improvements are also present – see the full changelog below.
Geyser:show() fixed
As mentioned two months ago, we’ve fixed an issue where you could still :show() the child of a hidden container. If your UI relied on this broken behaviour, make sure to update it!
Script editor sizes:
Alias/trigger/script editors are no longer huge by default, and they’ll remember their sizes as well. Thanks to dicene for covering this off!

Change font size in userwindows:
itsTheFae added the ability to change the font size in userwindows – and additionally miniconsoles or the main window – with setFontSize(). getFontSize() is also available to retrieve the current font size.
Case-sensitive search:
You can now enable the case-sensitive search when searching in the editor. Clicking on a search result will now actually focus on the search result itself now, be it whenever inside a script, a trigger pattern, or – new for 3.4 – the event handler the script is for. Previously, it search would just take you to the right item but not show you where exactly it was. Additionally, a clear button has been added to unhighlight all search results.
1-50 trigger patterns per trigger:
The display has been tweaked slightly and the patterns are numbered from 1-50 instead of 0-49 as you’d normally expect when counting things
Improved timer and variables layout:
Improved the look’n’feel of the script editor, organising the timer and variables layouts. As well as aligning trigger/alias/script/etc’s name to be consistenylu called “Name” and a plain command to send as “Command”.
Fixed a crash with installModule():
If you opened and closed the modules dialog and then called installModule() from a script, Mudlet would crash – this is now fixed
Geyser gauges improved:
demonnic brought Geyser’s gauges into alignment with createGauge() , text in set on a gauge will always stay centered now.
Ctrl+/ to toggle commenting:
You can now use the Ctrl+/ shortcut to toggle commenting in the code editor
Normal cursor on the profiles window:
When you launched Mudlet and didn’t have any profiles enabled to autoconect, the profiles window came up – but the cursor was stuck in the ‘loading’ state.
Multiple MSDP arrays inside an array fixed:
Following a tip-off on the forums, keneanung fixed a case where Mudlet wouldn’t properly multiple MSDP arrays inside another array.
Code quality improvements:
Mudlet now uses the C++11 nullptr keyword all throughout the codebase and several Qt conventions are now better followed.

New in Mudlet 3.1.0 (May 4, 2017)

Enhancement to multiplaying:
A feature that’ll come in quite handy where MUDs allow you to play multiple characters at once – you can now have one profile talk to other profiles in your code. A new function raiseGlobalEvent() allows you to raise events from one profile that will be received in all other open profiles.
Show Lua errors in main display:
Mudlet now gained an option to display runtime Lua errors in the main display, previously available in the Errors view only. This would be an option familiar to MUSHclient users. To enable it, enable “Echo Lua errors to main console” in the “Main display” preferences.
Show script name in error message:
If you defined your function that you used elsewhere in a trigger/alias/etc, and it had an error, you’d be met with a rather unintuitive error message like this. This has been fixed now, and the error message will include the original script where the error comes from. Much better.
Timestamps in logging:
A new option “Add timestamps at the beginning of log lines” allows you to log with timestamps. Additionally, timestamps will also be copied if you have the timestamps view enabled in your main window and use copy or copy to HTML.
Ctrl+click selection:
You can now ctrl+click on a line to select it entirely.
Ctrl+S in the trigger editor:
Ctrl+S (Cmd+S on macOS) has now been enabled as a shortcut in the trigger editor – so you don’t have to hit that ‘Save Item’ button every time. Similarly, Ctrl+Shift+S will now save your entire profile to disk.
Pink keys:
Key folders have now gotten their own colour in the trigger editor: pink.
Better mapper defaults:
The mapper now has anti-aliasing, better room, and exit sizes by default so new maps look a lot more like what they should.
GMCP on by default:
Having been thoroughly tested on many MUDs, GMCP is now enabled by default on new profiles – if your game supports it, Mudlet will enable and make use of it.
raiseWindow() and lowerWindow():
You can now raise a label or a miniconsole above all others with raiseWindow(), or lower it below all others with lowerWindow(). This can come in pretty handy when creating your Mudlet GUIs. Remember that the default Z-order of elements is the order they are created in, with newer labels/miniconsoles coming on top.
getMousePosition() added:
getMousePosition() has been added, allowing you to know the mouse position (within Mudlet only) – this’ll help enable make dragging UI elements much easier.
sysInstall and sysUninstall events added:
These are two very useful events for script makers: sysInstall allows you to do post-install actions and sysUninstall allows you to do pre-uninstall actions.
Useful applications of this include showing a help or a welcome menu as soon as your package is installed or removing your UI and resetting the borders back to default for your GUI package.
In addition to this, more fine-grained events are also available: sysInstallPackage, sysInstallModule, sysSyncInstallModule, sysLuaInstallModule, sysUninstallPackage, sysUninstallModule, sysSyncUninstallModule, and sysLuaUninstallModule.
sysSoundFinished event added:
You can now tell when a particular sound has finished playing with the sysSoundFinished event. In addition to this, the limit on playing maximum 4 sounds simultaneously has been removed.
Behind the scenes:
Infrastructure:
We’ve been modernising Mudlet heavily. The Linux continuous integration environment has been updated to Ubuntu 14.04 LTS and we’ve introduced automated macOS installer creation – this means anyone contributing to Mudlet can get a macOS Mudlet install for done for them automatically! This makes it much easier to code up a feature, submit it for inclusion to Mudlet, and get test versions of it in return for letting your friends test it. Communi, the IRC library included with Mudlet, has also been upgraded to the latest 3.5.0 release.
Modern C++11 and Qt:
We’ve put a lot of work into modernising Mudlets C++ codebase: the project is now using C++11, Qt 5.6, and clang-format automated code styling. This enables Mudlet to make use of really nice C++11 features like the auto keyword (letting the compiler deduce the type), ranged-based for statements (far more readable than iterators), and lambda functions (using a function inline – especially nice for small Qt slots). All of the code has been upgraded to use auto and range-based foralready, and most of it has been through the automated code styling – so if you’re curious about playing with Mudlets code using modern C++, have a look!
Start of automated testing:
We’ve started on automated testing of Mudlet by robots – they’ll help raise the alarms should we break anything by accident. Teaching the robots doesn’t require any programming experience, so if you’re interested in helping us out, join us on Discord.
Pure Github development:
We’ve now moved issue tracking to Github and setup a PR-based workflow. In addition to this, mudlet-lua – the Lua counterpart to C++ in Mudlet – has been merged back with the main repository. All of these changes reduce the overhead of developing Mudlet and make it a more pleasant experience.
Detailed changelog:

improved echo(), feedTriggers(), startLogging(), setLabelClickCallback(), setLabelOnEnter(), setLabelOnLeave(), deselect(), resetFormat() to explain what the bad argument is and what it should be, instead of giving an “wrong argument type” error message or none at all
improved echo(), setLabelClickCallback(), setLabelOnEnter(), setLabelOnLeave(), deselect(), resetFormat(), to return true on success or nil+error otherwise (error message just if one is available)
improved permGroup() to allow creating a folder within a folder
As part of the on-going process toward Mudlet 4.0 becoming more International and supporting languages other than English: Lua commands that accept user supplied text as arguments are gradually being reworked to gain the ability to process UTF-8 text. This and related steps are only at a preliminary stage at present but form a major component of the mile-stones on the way to the next major Mudlet release version.
improved startLogging() to return the log filename and the logging status

New in Mudlet 3.0.1 (Apr 13, 2017)

New in Mudlet 3.0.0 (Mar 30, 2017)

Big features:
There has been a ton of improvements in Mudlet, so included below a quick summary of the big features.
Variables view:
You can now view and edit your Lua variables from within Mudlet! No longer are they things that are just “there”. Additionally, you can now get Mudlet to save your variables by ticking them in the list.
Windows sound fixes:
Mudlet can now play sound again on Windows!
HTTPS downloads:
Mudlet can now download over https:// links! This means that Mudlet packages can now be installed and/or self-updated from secure websites like Github.
Double-click word selection:
You can now double-click in the main window or a miniconsole to select a word. You’ve also got the option of choosing what characters will the selection stop on – in case you don’t want to select quotes and such.
Mudlet is now skinnable:
You can create and apply skins to Mudlet!
Mapper API improvements:
A lot of work went into the mapper. Mudlet can now perform automatic quality checks on your map, a lot of the right-click windows in the mapper have been improved, custom exit lines creation has been streamlined, and pathfinding performance across large maps and distances has been improved. For coders, a lot of new functionality has been introduced
Script loss issues:
Development preview versions of Mudlet have had issues where they’d lose your scripts – this is no more and all such problems have been ironed out in the 3.0 final.
A ton of db: fixes:
Mudlet’s database interface has received a lot of attention and improvements, with a lot of functions getting fixes to work – work better, faster, stronger. If you’ve got a patched copy of the db: interface in your scripts, try running them without the local fixes so you can enjoy the new functionality.
MSDP support:
Mudlet now includes native support for MSDP! Protocol description available here, and as always, Mudlet allows you to add support for your own subchannel protocol.
Miscellaneous improvements:
Below is a highlight of some other improvements over 2.1:
GMCP data overflow on IRE MUDs fixed
Mudlet now detects infinite loops in aliases between the pattern and the substitution field
Strike-out text support has been added
nil and boolean can now be used with raiseEvent()
Geyser now supports flyout labels. You can build menus using them in a manner similar to insertPopup().
Buttons creation has been fixed

New in Mudlet 3.0.0 Kappa (Mar 17, 2017)

New in Mudlet 3.0.0 Iota (Nov 23, 2016)

New in Mudlet 3.0.0 Epsilon (Oct 18, 2016)

Mapper improvements:
A lot of the mapper code has been improved and optimized to run faster, both when speedwalking and when editing maps. In addition to performance improvements, a whole host of functions have been added to the API to ease scripting and allow you to get more done with less work!
The mapper is now more strict on area names and now allows unique area names only, as having duplicate area names was problematic for scripting and UI dropdowns. Along with this, map auditing has been introduced, which auto-corrects duplicate area names and a few other things.
The mapper widget’s area list has been improved and now updates more dynamically to any map changes. To make map editing easier, the room selection widget is now editable, allowing you to exactly select the rooms you’d like to modify at once
Many mapper functions now also allow using names in other than English, as part of the work that has went into making Mudlet more friendly to MUDs in other languages
Mapper API function improvements:
getAllRoomEntrances() has been added: find all the normal and special exits leading into a room
setAreaName() has been improved: now takes an area name for the original area, complementing using the area id
searchRoom() has been improved: now allows for case-sensitive and substring/exact match searches
getAllRoomUserData(roomID) has been added: given a roomId number returns a lua table of all the user data
getRoomUserDataKeys(roomID) has been added: given a roomId number returns a lua list of all the keys of the user data for that room.
clearRoomUserDataItem(roomID, key) has been added: given a roomId number and a user data key removes that key/value pair from the user data for that room. Returns true if data was removed, false if not and nil if the room does not exist for that roomId number.
searchRoomUserData(key, value) has been improved: given a string “key” and “value” returns a list of the roomIDs which contain that value for that key, now returns a sorted list of room numbers.
searchRoomUserData(key) has been improved: given a string “key” returns an ascending sorted list (lua table with monotonically incrementing integer keys from unity) of the unique values stored against that key in all rooms.
createRoomID(startingRoomNumber) variant of createRoomID() has been added, allowing you to specify where should Mudlet start searching from for an available room ID when creating a new room
setDoor() has been improved to return true on success or nil+false on error
new functions for storing userdata in areas and the map itself, however they require upgrading the map format in order to store that data (meaning any Mudlet before 3.0.0-epsilon won’t be able to get this data):
searchAreaUserData((string)[, (string)])
setAreaUserData((number), (string), (string))
clearAreaUserData((number))
clearAreaUserDataItem((number), (string))
getAreaUserData((number), (string))
getAllAreaUserData((number))
setMapUserData((string), (string))
clearMapUserData((string))
clearMapUserDataItem()
getMapUserData((string))
getAllMapUserData()
HTTPS support:
IRE maps are now downloaded over HTTPS, and the downloadFile() function now supports downloading over HTTPS as well. loadMap() has also been improved to handle importing IRE XML map files in addition to Mudlet map files, so should the URL change in the future, you can still load maps in without waiting for a Mudlet update.
Colour parsing:
You can now trigger on grey (light white) and cyan colours – colour triggers previously did not differentiate between them properly. Additionally, a few colours weren’t rendered exactly right when coming in from the MUD – this has now been fixed as well.
Strikeout support:
Scripts can now set text to be striken-out via the newly-added setStrikeOut() function, both in the main and console windows. Labels have already supported this feature through CSS formatting.
New events for data protocols:
sysProtocolEnabled and sysProtocolDisabled envets have been added to let your scripts know when MDSP, ATCP, GMCP, MXP, or channel102 data protocol has been enabled.
nil and boolean for raiseEvent():
The raiseEvent() function has been improved and now supports passing nil and boolean arguments.
Code cleanup:
Lastly, a lot of Mudlets code has been improved – dead code removed, better coding style and practices applied. Anyone wishing to get into improving Mudlet is welcome to join us on the Gitter chat.
Miscellaneous:
fixed small bug in editor where the icon for a script would dissapear when it was activated via saving
added options to display spaces and paragraphs in the code editor
status bar for the cursor’s position in a code editor has been enchanced to report character position and the total amounts of lines/characters
a lot of error messages from Lua API functions have been fixed to report the proper function name
spawn() function has been fixed to output timely
Onto 3.0 final:
In order to release the 3.0 final, we need to clear off the last remaining issues that we’ve introduced since 2.1, and any issues found during testing of 3.0.0-epsilon. Please report any problems you find to our forums or directly on the bugtracker, and a big thank you for taking the time to do so! We strive to ensure that Mudlet is always in good quality.

react to recieving a (bell) or strip it -> currently this translates into a square -> can be handled by a simply a replace trigger in MUDs such as avalon that use bell characters in certain situations. A generl fix would needlessly slow down Mudlet. The ready made Avalon profile will contain such a script
Calling closeUserWindow on a miniconsole several times causes a crash -> calls hideWindow(), func isn't includen in the api documentation anymore, but can still be used for compatibility with old scripts -> deprecated
paste(), pasteWindow() -> pasteWindow() -
majority of main window text disappears when miniconsole is selected and I then type into command line
add crtl+c keybinding for copy to clipboard
command line: Wrong History by Autoclear Inputline
command line: some words from the MUD buffer are not in the tab completion buffer
command line: tab completion: change regex to w+ to get rid of punctuation marks after words in tab completion
netbook mode: add icon to terminate full screen mode -> currently the button has no icon
netbook mode: bigger default font in netbook mode -> unreadable
netbook mode: default icon size = 2
Lua functions to set individual RAM usage limits for each user window seperately i.e. how many lines scrollback for the particular window/buffer
add Lua deselect() function to Lua global
Lua function: onResizeWindow() event
functions to set left, right, top and bottom border
functions to set border color
moveCursor() akzeptiert leider doch nur "main", ohne = error
add line numbers to the Lua editor
Lua function: play sound files
Lua function: moveCursor() still needs "main" as default parameter for main screen access
guarantee in-parent trigger order when reorganizing folder items via drag and drop
documentation: remove closeUserWindow() function
netbook mode: options dialog: less height otherwise you can't use it on small screen netbooks
Lua function: tempColorTriggerANSI( ansiColor )
color trigger patterns
Lua function: r,g,b = getSelectionColor( console ) returns the first color code of the current selection
Lua function: ansiCode = getSelectionColorAnsi( console ) returns first ansi color code of current selection
change current color triggers to fully fledged multi state machine color trigger patterns
add 256 color mode ansi color triggers
tab completion: alles in lower case umsetzen, weil manchmal upper case nciht vom mud akzeptiert wird
crash u. nicht eleminieren gelöschter toolbars auf dem bildschirm -> crash bei click gelöschter buttons OPEN - tab completion noch buggy. login u. pass noch drin, neue befehle u.U. nicht -> siehe reparentAction() fixen für destructor calls
dual state buttons: sendet nur upper state, nicht lower state, button aendert nicht den state - dual state change geht nur bei doppelclick - bei richtigen buttons, nicht bei checkboxen--cmd wird einmal gesendet pro click, aber der state ändert sich nur bei doppelclick, wobei 2 x cmd gesendet wird
nach import trigger kann man nix mehr machen i.e. nix loeschen nix aktivieren, bis man den trigger editor schliesst und neu oeffnet oder ein neues view wählt e.g. aliase und dann wieder trigger
checken ob ich eine closeChain( name ) function habe, oder, ob ich die noch machen muss -> setTriggerOpen(0);
resynch toolbars after drag and drop actions in buttons to reorganize the toolbars
different folder color for button bars in buttons GUI

buttens feuern ab dem 3. untermenu für jedes element des obermenus
new keep-open feature policy: chain heads only execute their script once and only grand access to their children while they stay open. Single triggers without children, however, run their script on each new line while the chain is still open.
feature: option to keep triggers firing for a specified amount of lines after the condition has been met for the first time.
feature: keep trigger chains open for a specified amount of lines after the original patterns have matched
A variable or a function with the location of the current profile.
syntax highlighter: elseif is missing
