Of course I did. As a baddie, I have to cheese kills any way I can!

It was. Made me add highlights!

@Makarios Ever since the server move, gmcp room events seem to be super inconsistent when they arrive compared to the next room's message, whereas previously they were always before any visible message. Was this intentional, or an oversight? And any chance it's going to be fixed back to the way it was?

Keneanung

@Ahmet did you turn compression off recently? I know that the point in time when gmcp is received/processed is different with mccp on and off. I don't if that's a mudlet quirk though.

Ahmet

@Keneanung Oh that's beautiful. I've had compression off for ages though, guess I just noticed the issue recently. It's been breaking a good number of my scripts in the past week or so. Super frustrating. Thanks!

Klendathu

So is it better to have compression on or off?

Ahmet

@Klendathu compression on (leaving the option unticked) is more consistent when it comes to gmcp events, it would seem.

Jonathin

I hate compression. If you send a gmcp request with it turned on, you have to wait for the next prompt or send some kind of input to receive the update. With compression off, th e gmcp update is sent/received immediately.

Keneanung

At least room gmcp seems to be at the end of a room description, if the room description is large enough to be sent in two packages, room gmcp is in the second package.

Mudlet seems to process gmcp before visible text.

With compression on, mudlet waits for the complete desc before uncompressing and processing, thus gmcp is at the beginning of a received block.

With compression off, processing happens immediately, meaning room gmcp is somewhere in the middle of the desc block.

Ahmet

@Keneanung not always. With compression of, gmcp can be processed before room title, before desc, after desc, or after exits.

Trying to make some nice charts in a help file. The problem is, the majority of the gaps formed from spaces disappear. I might have said that all large groups of spaces get reduced to just one space, but that's not true: there are some lines that still work. I've double check that there are no tabs, just spaces (ascii x20). The compression only happens most times, and I've been able to discern no rule as to why it would for the lines it does on those and not the others.

Anyone else manage to fix this headache?

Achaea's HELPs, journals, and letters all inherently wrap text at 72 characters, (I'm pretty sure news posts have a different character limit, it's why everyone's fancy ASCII wedding invitations come out awful.)  and when it wraps a line, it deletes any repeated white-space characters. If you make sure no line exceeds 72 characters, it doesn't wrap any text, and so it doesn't eat your white-space formatting, which is why it seems inconsistent. I keep a notepad file with a line of 72 dashes for this reason; I'll c/p it at the top of the editor, and use that to gauge how long each line can be until you need to manually return the cursor so Achaea won't blow up your formatting.

I thought it was 80. Well, that explains it - most of mine are at 75. I'll fix that. Thanks a ton.

How long does it take your Achaea Banner to update once you've changed your picture in the Nexus Client?

Should be relatively immediate, though if the picture's cached in your browser you won't see it change. Ctrl+shift+r will fix it on most browsers.

You know the following relevant rooms:

Is there a chart or list anywhere for mind crush damage scaling with int?  (I don't know if it scales with anything else artie wise)...

Just curious

Ahmet

Is there a syntax where you can check the old non-alphabetized qwho ordering?

Major: Brilliant, Quick-witted (or Nimble if you're purely going 1v1/prep magi), then a third of your choice (Either sitcky Stirrups or Health Inspector is pretty good)

Minor: Blissful Ignorance, then whatever the hell you want

Knife thrower, for hot axe on body action.

Aegoth

knife thrower is no longer needed, unless you want to use handaxes to prep... but then you can't use golem

Farrah

Are handaxes unusable with all golem or just pummel?

I always take knife thrower anyway for bombs.
