Mudlet 3.4 - various improvements

Vadimuses

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 thanks to the veteran Mudlet contributor SlySven.

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

SlySven has also 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 thanks to SlySven.

Geyser gauges improved

demonnic brought Geyser's gauges into alignment with createGauge() , text in set on a gauge will always stay centered now.

Linux AppImage fixed for Debian

We've fixed the AppImages to extract correctly on Debian OS.

Ctrl+/ to toggle commenting

You can now use the Ctrl+/ shortcut to toggle commenting in the code editor thanks to the work by gamecreature:

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. This has been fixed up by vadi2.

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.

Compiling Mudlet on Windows

vadi2 released a video walkthrough of getting setup with developing Mudlet on Windows. Mudlet is a project made by people like you & me - and it all starts with getting the code, making Mudlet run, making a tweak and seeing what you break!

We encourage you to have a go at messing around with Mudlet - any improvements, big or small, would make this free and open project better

New editor

Don't forget, the previous release introduced a new editor that has 300+ skins, allows for easier indenting, and has multi-cursor selection! If you haven't updated to a newer Mudlet already, now's the time to do so.

Vadimuses

To build Mudlet, start with git clone --recursive https://github.com/Mudlet/Mudlet.git mudlet

Morthif

I followed instructions to the letter! (for how to build on arch/pkgbuild.)

Vadimuses

Ah, arch - there was an issue there, I've fixed it. I don't know when the arch maintainer will pick it up but I imagine within 24h.

Morthif

The makepkg method uses the source code from the website...

Oh hey, I didn't even realize Mudlet was in the AUR.. I thought I checked. the log note on the AUR explains the issue. nifty. Thanks
