prs's Issues

bug(stats): food gauge lua name is not unique

i've been kicking this down the road for so long, I forgot it was still with us!

use enableCmdLine against PRSchat.EMCO

https://demonnic.github.io/mdk/current/classes/EMCO.html#emco:enableCmdLine

PRSchat.EMCO:enableCmdLine("Chat", function()
  send("chat " .. str)
end)

instead of the two part process you're using and reaching into PRSchat.EMCO.mc for

TabWindowsTab.lua saving in two locations

despite setting the default save path to /PRS/settings/ , a second copy of the tabs settings is being saved in /PRS/ dir.

feature request: centered input line with three-column layout

from Rasoul:

main prompt and the main text window are not left aligned looks a bit uncanny.

win32 client mapper bogs down during room creation

once the mudlet map file gets past a certain point, moving into unexplored territory becomes increasingly bogged down by the 4gb memory limitations of the 32-bit windows client because it's working out all 14 newly revealed gmcp.room.info data. not sure if there is another way of handling this on the script side, but it's become pretty painful.

pass minimumStartingRoomId to createRoomID

...possible performance enhancement...

image

add room symbol by gmcp.room.type as needed for structures

some of the colors don't distinguish the room on the map from the others. for example, 'wood house' terrain is bright yellow and might be surrounded by 'steppe' terrain, which is the same color.

chat buffer - all tab overwritten by tell tab

per @eterchun

something weird is going on with my chat buffer though - the All tab is overwritten by the Tell tab. the real buffer shows briefly but then gets covered up by the wrong tab's contents

uncertain if this may be fixed by #61

feat: Skills Tab

This should be relatively straight forward SUGs from GMCP like stats.lua.

feat: Quest Tab

Bug: PRS and prs-chat bugged on init

from Rasoul upon load under linux portable:

Two scripts in the PRS group have bugs: PRS and prs-chat. Clicking once on either of these two scripts, removes the bug icon, prints
"EMCO Loaded" in the main text panel, and reorders the layout, as in the
screenshot.

feat(stats): update combo/rage gauge colors

webUI uses: #e74856

Mapper Stuck at 0,0,0 Coordinate

https://forums.mudlet.org/viewtopic.php?p=46753#p46753

In my game's case, I had to rename anything "gmcp"-related to matching case (i.e., gmcp . Room . Info . name--> gmcp . room . info . name). gmcp . room . info . exits was correct for my case. I did need to change gmcp . room . info . environment to gmcp . room . info . terrain, as well as to keep gmcp . room . info . num as is for my case.

Anyway, I am now experiencing the 0,0,0 coordinate same issue around the mapping working perfectly but not actually drawing anything as I move about the world. I have tried both short and long form for the move_vetcor directions, but neither had any appreciable effect.

Could there be something else that I need to change for this to work?

bug(mapper): event handler error for gmcp.room.info connectExitStub

Clean profile running PRS v1.0.0... upon movement, receive two identical errors with each movement in any direction in nexus:

[ LUA ] - error in event handler for gmcp.room.info:
<connectExitStub: bad argument #2 type (toID or direction as number or string expected,
got nil!)>

Any idea @eterchun?

feat: Inventory Tab

This will be a beast of a project.

Bug: vitals level & class don't update

from Rasoul:

level in the vitals tab doesn't update when char levels up

feature request: underlined URLs

from Rasoul:

URLs in the main text window are clickable, but could use an underline.

set server config options on install

a new script user recently found how user-nonfriendly the script is initially, because various settings required by PRS are not enabled on the game server be default for new characters. as i assisted them in resolving the issue, we found the following config needed to be enabled on the game server:

config gmcp
config gmcpseenrooms
config autoexits

I'm guessing I can just add this to PRS.lua

Enhancement Request: Minimap Window

Hello, please may I request a Minimap window that I can dock to the left side of the map and chat block. Could it also be sizable similar to this screenshot: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1029785642818879529/1091971321086349383/Screenshot_20221101_065201.png

Centerview Janky

perhaps having the gmcp_seen_rooms have a "not-actually-in-this-room" field would help solve the centerview problem -
then you just listen to that one

readme.md is greatly outdated now

i need to update the readme, obviously

feat: Combat Tab

speedwalk not fully functional

layout presets

is it possible to add a couple of different layout "presets" that can be switched with a button or a dropdown or something?

emco lua error in event handler for gmcp.Char.player

          ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/1428343/221367934-fc7cfe66-e483-46e4-a784-da4c3b98d850.png)

Originally posted by @iLPdev in #52 (review)

existing EMCO settings overwrite v1.6.0 updates

this happens on uninstall/install of updated package from 1.5.0 to 1.6.0. is a quirk of EMCO.

bug(core): gmcp.Char event handler attempt to index field 'State' (nil value)

on load of clean profile running v1.0.0, I receive...

[ LUA ] - error in event handler for gmcp.Char:
<[string "Script: prs-core"]:81: attempt to index field 'State' (a nil value)>

can anyone replicate? @eterchun?

channel history command borks emco

2:10 PM]Malbidion: checking a channels history makes the client die, every output after that goes into that channels tab :/
[2:42 PM]Stack: interesting, we've never come across that before
[2:45 PM]Stack: yep. either something has changed server side or this has always been happening and we never noticed it because we just scroll back in the chat tabs to view history. i never use "chat" alone, so maybe we've just never noticed! lol
[2:48 PM]Stack: respawning the geyser window doesn't resolve it either

thoughts on this, @eterchun? is it related to #62?

water and peaks bork pathfinding without boat or float spell

need to exclude water terrain type from pathfinding

add auto-update

i have the code to do this in discMapper and can probably recycle it here

Missing trigger to catch transmitted tells

You tell Stack, 'blah blah blah' isn't being captured in geyser all tab

feat: add hover effect to buttons

https://wiki.mudlet.org/w/Special:MyLanguage/Manual:Geyser#Geyser.Label

Level 100 geyser error in event handler for gmcp.Char.player

PRS logo

we need a logo

Truncated Lines in Chat

long lines are being truncated

add new terrain types

new terrain-types -- like in the peaks -- have been introduced since 0.12.0

feat: Effects Tab

Cooldowns, etc

EMCO dependency deprecated

new MDK version contains emco bug fixes. need to update.

gmcp stats concatenation error on init

Adjustable Containers/TabWindows Conversion

this can work with EMCO. there can be some style limitations as it seems not all EMCO style constraints are available, once converted.

improve emco display of chat buffers

this is basically enhancing hotfix #75 for issue #74

We could either include the newlines from the main window and have line wrap ugliness in normal use, live with this, or add logic to try detecting a new chat message and add a newline conditionally.

ascii art aliases

{{W"`-._,-'"`-._,-' {{RCONGRATULATIONS{{W `-._,-'"`-._,-'"`'

Echo in Chat

v1.0.2

Vitals doesn't load when profile opens

looks like gmcp.Char.Status is not being sent by game upon connection, so that gmcp.Char.Status.level is nil on load.

condenseMapLoad calls nill value

getting this LUA error on startup with the dev build:

add logic to alter map for changed seen room terrain

given room malleability by player construction, the map actually changes based over time. it would be nice for the mapper to account for this fact rather than seen rooms remaining represented forever as they were when first revealed.

feat request: clickify `mudlet install` and `help mudlet`

https://wiki.mudlet.org/w/Manual:UI_Functions#setLink

don't forget Revisionator patch before new releases!!!!

Bug: HP gauge extend outside container when aid expired

from Rasoul:

The 'aid' affect expiring made the HP bar in the vitals tab longer, extending outside the tabs panel. But only for a second, until the current hp got updated to the new, lower max hp.

area room collisions break pathfinding/speedwalk

from Dalem:

I'm having an issue with the mapper seemingly colliding between rooms in different areas which break speedwalk paths, etc. because it looks like areas are referenced by vnum and I haven't thought of another reason it would think I was teleporting between the endless sands and the great plains
