GUI Client

Added a bunch more variables by request:
eMSDP_TOPLEVEL,
eMSDP_LEVEL_COMBAT,
eMSDP_LEVEL_PILOTING,
eMSDP_LEVEL_ENGINEERING,
eMSDP_LEVEL_HUNTING,
eMSDP_LEVEL_SMUGGLING,
eMSDP_LEVEL_DIPLOMACY,
eMSDP_LEVEL_LEADERSHIP,
eMSDP_LEVEL_FORCE,
eMSDP_LEVEL_ESPIONAGE,
eMSDP_LEVEL_SLICER,
eMSDP_LEVEL_MEDIC,
eMSDP_LEVEL_SCIENCE,
eMSDP_COMM_CHANNEL,
eMSDP_COMM_ENCRYPT,
eMSDP_OOC_LIMIT,
eMSDP_OOC_BREAK,
eMSDP_PLANET,
eMSDP_CLAN,
eMSDP_IS_PILOTING,
eMSDP_SHIP_SPEED,
eMSDP_SHIP_MAXSPEED,
eMSDP_SHIP_HULL,
eMSDP_SHIP_MAXHULL,
eMSDP_SHIP_ENERGY,
eMSDP_SHIP_MAXENERGY,
eMSDP_SHIP_SHIELD,
eMSPD_SHIP_MAXSHIELD,
eMSDP_SHIP_GALX,
eMSDP_SHIP_GALY,
eMSDP_SHIP_SYSX,
eMSDP_SHIP_SYSY,
eMSDP_SHIP_SYSZ,
eMSDP_SHIP_HEADX,
eMSDP_SHIP_HEADY,
eMSDP_SHIP_HEADZ,
eMSDP_SHIP_SYSNAME,
eMSDP_MONEY_TOTAL,
eMSDP_MONEY_INV,
eMSDP_MONEY_BANK,

You broke it!

I like the new additions you made, however most of them seem to be non-functional, a large majority returning 0 or nothing at all. Seems that all the level-related variables are giving 0 and most of the ship ones either don’t give anything or don’t update like they should. (i.e. IS_PILOTING doesn’t seem to change) I’d like to also request that you add a “list” capability so that we can directly ping the msdp interface and receive back a list of all the variables that are supported.

LotJGUI Version 0.51

Additions:

Botting status indicator

Minimap hotspot to show current room name

Class level readouts (must type score or level to populate)

Gold readouts (total, bank, on hand) (must type gold or score to populate)

Bugfixes:

Minimap now displays all exit directions (except up and down… still pondering that one)

Reordered stat displays to be more in line with other stats in game

Added modularity to layout variables so further layout changes should prove easier

What is this MSDP witchcraft and will it help me kill people more efficiently?

Well, you can see what clan you are in via MSDP, so I guess so, avanga

Does this have a way of getting info from the MUD differently than the client does? Like, for instance; I see a bunch of stuff about healthbars and things. But how does it get the numbers for those health bars? Does it only update from what the client sees or does it get it some other way?

Here’s a link to the basics of MSDP:

http://tintin.sourceforge.net/msdp/

In short, the MUD is able to send more data than a client will generally accept, thinking it’s not needed. MSDP fixes this, once enabled on a MUD, and can provide instant updates for data that we find generally helpful, if the IMMs allow it to be an instant update. This allows for the creation of help-bars that do not rely on screen-capturing, thus making them way more accurate. Data is pulled not from what the client sees, but from a raw level on telnet. Some clients don’t act well with pulling raw data, such as CMud, so there’s abit of scripting involved.

New variables:
{ eMSDP_BOTTING_DELAY, “BOTTINGDELAY”, NUMBER_READ_ONLY },
{ eMSDP_CURRENT_AMMO, “CURRENTAMMO”, NUMBER_READ_ONLY },
{ eMSDP_MAX_AMMO, “MAXAMMO”, NUMBER_READ_ONLY },
{ eMSDP_SHIELD_ENERGY, “SHIELDENERGY”, NUMBER_READ_ONLY },
{ eMSDP_LIGHT_TIME, “LIGHTTIME”, NUMBER_READ_ONLY },
{ eMSDP_MEDPAC_POWER, “MEDPACPOWER”, NUMBER_READ_ONLY },
{ eMSDP_GRENADE_ROUNDS, “GRENADEROUNDS”, NUMBER_READ_ONLY },
{ eMSDP_BLADE_POWER, “BLADEPOWER”, NUMBER_READ_ONLY },

botting delay is in seconds, and the equipment variables only update at specific times

I like this and I pray that the effort is still active.

For some reason, none of the stats on the right are showing up for me =[

I apologize for the lateness in my update, however I’ve fixed the GUI to match Rojan’s MSDP updates. All the previously working things work again, however there aren’t any additions other than that, sadly.
