*** Creates a GUI for The Final Challenge<br>
*** GUI Sidebar using MSDP data for live updates.<br>
*** <u>Features</u>: Know exactly how many ticks every affected by spell lasts. See your equipment stats totaled up. Graphical exits minimap. Chat and NPC windows. See where doors are without having to look. Know when you successfully hide and sneak. Live Health/Mana/Move/Enemy bars. Use your own Avatar or Background image/solid color. Customize the prompt bar colors. Built-in updater, so you only need to download this once.
*** <b> This is a half-update! </b> So you will see two setting menus, the old one, simply called settings, and the new one, called new settings. The compass, star logger, and report an issue I have yet to put functionality to in the new settings menu, but you can still use the old settings menu to change options in them. The new interactive settings menu is experimental as it was built from scratch and currently incomplete, which means it has not been optimized at all, so parts of it may be laggy. The color theme for all the buttons, the line dividers, and border on the sidebar, can all be changed by changing the Side Border Color in the Sidebar Background Settings. In the next half of the update, there will be a proper way to set those. Also another little hidden feature is if you set both side border colors black, it will make it transparent. Again, there will be a proper way to do that in the next half of the update.
*** <u>Installation</u>: Colors must be enabled. Type "color" in-game to toggle it on.
*** <u>Features</u>: Know exactly how many ticks some affected by spells last. See your equipment stats totaled up. Graphical exits compass. Chat window. See where doors are without having to look. Live Health/Mana/Move/Enemy bars. Use your own Avatar and Background image or solid color. Built-in plugin updater (recently rebuilt). Custom logger that lets you remove your prompts from the logs and much more!
**** Extract TFC_MSDP_GUI.zip into your main Mushclient folder. It will need to overwrite the Lua51 dlls and merge a folder.<br>
**** Just in case you wish to uninstall one day, make a backup of the Lua51 dlls (just copy/paste).
**** Extract MSDP-Sidebar into your main Mushclient folder. It will need to overwrite the Lua51 dll and merge a folder.<br>

**** Save the world file so the plugin loads every time you play. (File/Save World Details) If this is on a clean install, you will need to create or select a State folder when saving. For convenience, I have made one within the plugins folder that you can select. <br>
**** Close the world and reopen.
**** Close the world and reopen.
**** Since it resizes the main game window, you may need to check Wrap Output so text doesn't go offscreen. (Game/Wrap Output). If you have a really high resolution, you can skip the wrap output steps.<br>
**** Adjust what column number it wraps the output at until text no longer goes offscreen. (ALT+5 or Game/Configure/Output...)<br>
**** Everytime you adjust the column number, connect/disconnect to see if you've adjusted it right. Personally, I find it works best at 77, but it will be different for everyone depending on their screen resolution.<br>
**** You're done! <br>
**** You're done! <br>
*** <u>Avatar</u>: Avatar can be changed by clicking the settings button located above the TFC logo near the top left
*** <u>To uninstall</u>: Remove or disable the plugin. Save the World Details, then close the world and reopen. If you wish to fully uninstall, delete the Generic folder.
*** <u>Background</u>: Background image can be changed the same way as the avatar. If you want a plain solid color, select the Background Color option in the settings menu.
*** <u>Version Notes</u>: Pre-release. Not all spell icons have been created, so some use a generic one. You can still see what spell it is by hovering your mouse over the icon.
*** <u>Chat window</u>: Right-click on this window for settings.
*** <u>Commands</u>:
*** <u>Mob window</u>: Currently no settings.
**** <b>adjust windows</b> - Re-adjusts all the windows if you happened to resize something within the client. If either the chat window or prompt bars don't align, simply close and open them back up, they will automatically adjust.
*** <u>To uninstall</u>: Remove or disable the plugin. Save the World Details, then close the world and reopen.
**** <b>star logger rec</b> - shortcut to start/stop logging
*** <u>Notes</u>: Since their is no msdp stats installed serverside, I have created a workaround. After you log in, it will automatically check your equipment once to gather stats. Anytime you change your equipment or wimpy, simply check your equipment to update the stats. (eq/equip/equipment)<br>
**** <b>star logger set folder</b> - shortcut to set a folder to place logs in
*** <u>Version Notes</u>: Fixed major bugs in the plugin, so it now loads 10x faster. Added in horizontal slider to resize chat and mob windows. Added in a built in plugin updater. Pre-release with built in stat workaround. Not all spell icons have been created, so some use a generic one. You can still see what spell it is by hovering your mouse over the icon. Minimap does not work in all rooms, however, it is still useful to see where doors are in the rooms. Some affected by spells show multiple times. This is a server-sided issue.
**** <b>star logger set filename</b> - shortcut to set a custom file name for logs
*** <u>Commands</u>: <b>show stats</b>
**** <b>star logger prev lines</b> - shortcut to toggle logging all previous lines before starting to log
**** <b>star logger open folder</b> - shortcut to open your current set logs folder and if none set, opens the default location

*** View every map from this wiki in-game.<br>
*** <u>Features</u>: Draggable map list and map viewer windows. Maps viewed inside the window are also draggable.<br>
*** <u>Patch Installation</u> Download "TFC Maps v1.0" and follow Normal Installation instructions first. Now download the patch and instead of adding the "TFC_Maps.xml" plugin, use the patch plugin "TFC_Maps_for_MSDP_GUI.xml" . Really it doesn't matter where the patch plugin is, but personally I would put it into the TFC_Maps folder to keep things organized.<br>
*** <u>Patch Note</u>: Windows are not draggable in the patch version because if they were, other miniwindows in the MSDP GUI would overlap them making it next to impossible to use.<br>
*** <u>Normal Installation</u> Extract TFC_Maps.zip into your main MUSHclient folder then simply add the plugin located in the extracted folder.<br>
*** <u>Notes</u>: Right click on the map viewer window to view large/small maps and to close the map viewer window. Map list window has a red X in the top right corner to close. Maps are not all in alphabetical order. Commands below are to help with not having to take your hand off the keyboard as often.<br>
*** <u>Commands</u>:
**** <b>map list</b> Opens the map list window.
**** <b>close map list</b> Closes the map list window.
**** <b>close map</b> Closes the map viewer window.
**** <b>view page #</b> Change to a different page in the map list window. (ie: view page 4)
**** <b>view map #</b> Each map has a number in front of it, use that number to view the map. (ie: view map 31)
**** <b>last map</b> Bring up the last map you were looking at.<br><br>

Auto Logging

There is a system alias called "atconnect" for the value of the alias use the following:

MUSHCLIENT Tips/Tools/Macros

Tips

  • Installation
    • If on Windows, do not install to the Program Files folder. That is a read-only directory and will give you errors when trying to save your world (triggers/aliases/etc..)
  • Command Stacking
    • Used to being able to send multiple commands by separating them with a semicolon? This can be enabled by going to Game/Configure/Commands... and if you like using the semicolon as a shortcut for group chat, you can pick something else for it to use.
  • Command Repeating
    • Send a command without it blanking out. This can be enabled by going to Game/Configure/Commands... and ticking Auto-repeat command.

Atlantis Tip Tools/Tips/Macros

Spawns

Atlantis allows you to filter the incoming lines and redirect it to a separate window or a "Spawn". Disable the "Show new activity" option on all but the main spawn.

  • Ftell Channel: In the address book create a spawn called 'ftell' and add the following patterns. This will route all the ftells to a separate window. Set the maximum lines to 100:
    • Contains : ftells
    • Begins with: You ftell
  • Who output: In the address box create a spawn call 'who' and add the following patterns. This will route the output of the 'who' command to a separate window. Set the maximum lines to 100:
    • Matches regexp: ^(...) \[ (.+) \](.+)
    • Matches regexp: ^(..) players.
    • Matches regexp: ^(.) player.
  • Public Channels: In the address box create a spawn call 'who' and add the following patterns. This will route the output of the 'who' command to a separate window. Set the maximum lines to 100:
    • Contains: gossips
    • begins with: You gossip
    • begins with: You auction
