Backup org help scrolls to filesystem

Ada

Hi! I made a Mudlet package to help with automating backup of org help scrolls. Please find it here: https://github.com/adayoung/backItUp

Please use it responsibly and don't spam the game! ^_^

Sample:

Your current clan will now be the 'United Union of Crafters' clan.

Tada!!

Klendathu

Superb idea, muchos grassy ass.



It doesn't do anything though

Klendathu

I changed line 11 of the script from

send("TOUCH BackItUp|" .. which)

to

send("TOUCH backitup")

and it got a bit futher, but it's still not working:

This is on a windows 10 machine, Mudlet 3.14.0

Ada

Oh, you should make it back to how it was and replace the pipe character '|' with whatever command separator you have in use. You can find your current command separator character with CONFIG CommandSeparator

Antonius

You want to change the pipe (|) to whatever your in-game command separator is, rather than removing that bit entirely. I don't know if it will just work as two separate commands (resulting in a prompt between the "You have no backitup." line and the next one). There's also an error on line 7 of the BackItUp_Prompt trigger; it should be passing that function to tempTimer, but it's instead calling the function (which doesn't appear to return anything). 

Ada

Aha! No wonder if was going off so fast. And yes, the command separator is required. There cannot be a prompt between 'You have no backitup.' and the output of help index.

Ada

Okay! @Klendathu, I've updated the thing. Remove what you have and get the new version. You'll want to look at backItUp.CommandSeparator on line 2 in scripts and update it for whatever you have in use.

Klendathu

Ok, I have the new version now.

Top tip, do not try backing stuff up when you're sailing, this is the contents of backItUp.scrolls when I tried:

{
  "animatedharmonictracker",
  "choralewho",
  "combos",
  "gmcpvoicebalance",
  "welcome",
  "Sl",
  "Furl",
  "hp",
  "full",
  "Hl",
  "full",
  "Wd",
  "W",
  "kts",
  "Cr",
  "Sp",
  "N",
  "Sea",
  "Smooth"
}

It failed when I got to CLHELP Sl

Ada

Oops, it doesn't know about your ship prompt. Get off teh boat!

Klendathu

Also need to remember to increase pagelength, else it cuts off at the first More

Ada

It no longer cuts off at MORE! Upgrade upgrade -urges-

When you're having a bad day, you should secretly turn this into a file shredder instead.... *ominous*
