[Mudlet] Geyser labels

Klendathu

Hi, I've got a Geyser label I'm trying to use to list some information which gets updated. I want to use a label so I can put a border round it.

I tried using echo and cecho to write to the label, and that doesn't seem to work. Looking through the wiki, I can use labelname:echo("blah"), but that doesn't seem to be working.

Haaaalp! (Mudlet 2.1)

Code:

funkyLabel = Geyser.Label:new({
  name = "funkyLabel",
  x = 100, y = 100,
  height = 200, width = 100,
  color = "LawnGreen",
  message = "Label created"
})

funkyLabel:setStyleSheet([[
  qproperty-wordWrap: true;
  background-color: black;
  border-width: 2px;
  border-color: #005c28;
  border-style: groove;
  border-radius: 2;
]])

funkyLabel:setFontSize(11)

function flEcho(myEcho)
  print("running") --debug
  funkyLabel:echo(myEcho,"yellow")
  print("still running") --debug
end

Is it possible? If not, how can I put a border around a standard container so i can use echo / cecho?

You can't use cecho in a label, if you want to colour it multiple colours you have to use span styling. Which is pretty much the type of code that you see when you copy HTML code and paste it on ada's website.

NVM, sorted it. When you create lots and lots of Geyser windows, sometimes they get confuzzled. Restarting profile seems to have done the trick, now I just need to work out how to colour different lines within the same label differently...

Assuming you use my tracking still,  look under odisplay for how I do different color lines. Ignore the init () function.  Just use the refreshAffs () one.

Assuming I understand the problem. .

@Austere‌, you're using a miniconsole, i wanted to convert it to a Geyser label so I could have a border around it. Couldn't get it to work cleanly, so have instead created a label with a border slightly larger that then aff_display window you have, so best of both worlds (bit clunky, but achieves what I want for now).

Love your aff tracker, by the way, although I've heavily modded it for my own use now

Oh.  I had no idea,  I just knew it was geyser and that it took me hours to hack together reading the docs, which is why I have the init () function. I am a display noob. I still manually setup my map on login. ..
