New in Mudlet 3.13.0 (Sep 5, 2018)

New in Mudlet 3.12.0 (Aug 14, 2018)

New feature – automatic word completion:
In our ongoing efforts to make coding even more pleasant in Mudlet’s new editor since version 3.3 one year ago, we are proud to present autocomplete! While you are still typing, you can now choose directly from the appearing list of suggested commands.
Autocomplete in action:
There is still a lot of room for improvement here, for example suggestions do not yet include all lua functions and especially “combined” commands like string.findPattern or Geyser.Container:new. However we feel this will help you speed up a lot already, so it is well worth releasing.
Bug fixes:
Profiles will now autoload their server encodings correctly (thanks SlySven). The “Save Profile As” button and the package exporter work again as expected (thanks vadi2). Module sync will now also work correctly, even if the original zip was deleted.
New feature for Geyser:
Geyser objects now have :lower() and :raise() functions, so you don’t have to call them via the lowerWindow(name) and raiseWindow(name) anymore. Geyser is all about adding methods to make it easier to build and maintain a nice graphical interface to your games, so little improvements like this matter!
Shout out to Jor’Mox:
Congratulations to Jor’Mox for writing over 1000 posts in Mudlet’s forums. Thank you for your ongoing support, especially in helping new players to map their games with ease, by adapting the generic mapper script to whichever circumstances they may find, and so much more!
Changelog:
added: autocomplete suggestions in code editor
added: lower() and raise() methods to appropriate Geyser objects
fixed: in editor mode, buttons like ‘save profile as’, ‘import’, ‘export’, etc. will work reliably again
fixed: under some circumstances package exporter did not export data but crash Mudlet
fixed: prevent crash when saving a module which had been moved to a different file destination
fixed: settings for server encoding will be remembered between sessions and for auto connects
improved: traditional Chinese characters will be processed and displayed more reliably
improved: display new address of editor theme downloads as http://colorsublime.github.io/

New in Mudlet 3.11 (Aug 13, 2018)

New feature – expiring triggers:
You can now make temporary triggers expire after a firing a certain amount of times.
You can also have a trigger avoid counting when it fired towards expiration by returning true. This example will match the prompt 2 times, unless the prompt is “55 health.”
All trigger types support this new functionality added by vadi2, so check the manual for more examples.
New feature – profile autosave:
Building on the earlier work that made profile saving quicker, vadi2 added profile autosave to Mudlet. It’ll save your work every 2 min, so in case of a sudden computer shutdown or anything else, not having saved the profile won’t result in hours of work lost. This feature is efficient and it’ll create just one backup for autosave.
Auto-saved profiles will appear with a small icon in the list:
We’ve put out a call for donations last October to help us raise funds so the Windows installer can be “signed” – and we’re like to thank the community, especially Iron Realms for answering the call.
Translation efforts:
While we’re still working on getting translations people have done back into Mudlet, we’d like to shout out to all of the people who volunteered to translate Mudlet into their language on Crowdin.
Starting new maps:
If you’re using a mapping script tailored for your game, starting a new map would be easy, or you’d even have a map available to you for use already. If you aren’t, though, and you’d like to map the game out by hand, things are a little difficult.
This release vadi2 added a right-click option on the blank map area that allows you to either load a map or create a new one right away.
Bug fixes:
The new logging settings will now correctly save and single-line copy won’t add blank spaces at the start (while multi-line copy will, to preserve nice alignment). Profile notes will now also get saved correctly when you just close one profile – previously, they saved when you closed entire Mudlet. Thanks to SlySven for doing this work.
All in all, there have been 1,002 contributions (PRs) to Mudlet since we moved to Github! It’s a bit of a milestone for us and you too can join in to improve Mudlet! 88% of those PRs have been merged.
Changelog:
added: expiring temporary triggers
added: getGridMode()
added: profile autosave
added: toggle for show icons in menus
added: windows installers are now signed (less problems with AV installing/upgrading)
fixed: changing main window background will apply changes immediately
fixed: logging settings are now saved correctly
fixed: single-line copy won’t introduce blank spaces
fixed: notepad will save when just one profile is closed
improved: Lua error messages are more intuitive now for selectCurrentLine(), isAnsiFgColor(), isAnsiBgColor(), getFgColor(), getBgColor(), wrapLine(), selectCaptureGroup(), getLines(), getCurrentLine(), and echoPopup()
improved: Mudlet now sends a correct response for MXP
improved: You can now create new maps by right-clicking on the empty map
infrastructure: updated 3rd party dependencies on windows

New in Mudlet 3.4.0 (Aug 9, 2017)

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. 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:
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
Geyser gauges improved:
demonnic brought Geyser’s gauges into alignment with createGauge() , text in set on a gauge will always stay centered now.
Ctrl+/ to toggle commenting:
You can now use the Ctrl+/ shortcut to toggle commenting in the code editor
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.
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.
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.

New in Mudlet 3.3.1 (Jul 11, 2017)

New editor:
The edbee code editor made by @gamecreature has been added to Mudlet by @tomcss! This completely replaces the old editor and offers new features like multi-caret editing, line numbers, and shortcuts.
If you’re familiar with Sublime Text or TextMate, Mudlet now supports all 350+ themes available http://colorsublime.com! edbee’s theming support has also been enabled by @vadi2, go to Profile Preferences – Editor to set them.
Remember that you can also install dark themes for Mudlet itself and also make your own!
Revamped IRC:
Thanks to the work of @itsTheFae, the IRC functionality has been completely revamped and is now a lot more powerful.
It is now possible to join multiple channels, set your own default channel, /msg users and more. Check Profile Preferences – Special Settings for options.
The documentation lists out all of the new available /commands. A lot of IRC functions have been added for scripting as well: getIrcNick(), getIrcServer(), getIrcChannels(), getIrcConnectedHost(), setIrcNick(), setIrcServer(), setIrcChannels(), restartIrc().
Statusbar in the main window gone:
We’ve removed the statusbar in the main window now that it has served its purpose! The original idea was to guide people towards opening the Connections dialog – that opens up automatically now, and showing descriptions for the mapper’s right-click menu – tooltips are used for those instead.
Infrastructure upgrade:
@Kae and @demonnic got their hands dirty and completely upgraded Mudlets infrastructure: the wiki and forums are the latest version, and HTTPS support (green lock) has been enabled everywhere!
Thanks to this, the wiki registration is now openly available and we can spend more time improving Mudlet rather than banning spambots on the forums. Syntax highlighting on forums and wiki has also been aligned with Mudlets own so it is consistent everywhere.
Wiki improvements:
@Kebap has been spending a lot of time improving Mudlets wiki recently, doing everything from formatting to documenting new – and old that we’ve missed – functionality. Appreciate all the help!
Multi-language progress:
We’ve continued with the vision of making work with many languages and added a Lua utf8 library in 3.3, which allows you to work with non-English text in Lua: Spanish, Russian, Chinese, and so on. See documentation for more.
Windows – coroutines and tempKey:
mudlet.supports.coroutines and the new key-related functions (tempKey, permKey) didn’t work as advertised in the last Windows release – this has been fixed.
Modern C++11:
The so-called MC++ is used in developing Mudlet – if you haven’t checked up on C++ in the last decade, here are some of the highlights of what is now available: auto, lambdas, and more. C++ is the language that powers many game engines (Cryengine, Unreal Engine), browsers (Google Chrome, Firefox), and a lot of other things you’re using. If you’re curious to get started, try your hand with editing Mudlet!
Map load improvements:
The map data is now loaded by default again when the profile is opened, so you don’t have to open the map to get your scripts to work. There’ll also now just be one loading messages should everything go okay.

added a Code of Conduct per best open-source practices

New in Mudlet 3.2.0 (Jun 8, 2017)

Encoding in Mudlet:
Veteran Mudlet developer SlySven worked to teach Mudlet to display text in Spanish, Russian, and many other Western languages!
Go to Preferences > Encoding to select the encoding you’d like to use.
This is the first baby step in enabling Mudlet to support internalisation. Choosing the encoding will help Mudlet display the letters right, but triggers will not work with non-English text and nor will some Lua string.* functions like string.len(). We’ll be adding these features incrementally and it will all be ready in Mudlet 4.0.
Coroutines:
Lua coroutines are now available in Mudlet, opening up a lot of possibilities for writing your scripts better – check out the demo in the manual. Big thanks to the core Mudlet developer ahmedcharles for enabling this!
Script loss fixed:
If you happened to insert an XML-invalid character such as 0x0 in your script, Mudlet wouldn’t be able to load it back in and lose everything that followed it. This has been fixed – credits go to to Buck in Discord for identifying the problem and SlySven for fixing the problem! 0x0 and it’s friends will now get saved and loaded just fine.
First time user experience:
First impressions matter – whenever you’re getting your friend on Mudlet or someone is thinking of checking out this underrated thing called MUDs. Mudlets is now much better – on first launch, a welcome screen is now automatically shown.
We’ve also made it so the Connections window automatically opens up if you don’t have any profiles on autoload, and the last used profile is automatically selected.
There’s too much blank space in though, isn’t there? MUDs that get onto Mudlet’s default profiles list are ones that make a significant contribution to the open-source Mudlet project, or those that go the extra mile to add a great gaming experience for their players on Mudlet: mapper support and a UI package.
Userwindow improvements:
Would you like to make your miniconsoles separate from the Mudlet window? Move them over to another monitor perhaps? Or make dock them inside Mudlet? You can with openUserWindow(), check it out. This release has improved a lot of things for userwindows – they’ll now remember their position when you open Mudlet, won’t inherit borders from the main window, and will close with the profile. Once you open a userwindow, you can use all the same cecho(), copy(), paste() on it just as with a miniconsole.
Floating toolbars improved:
Floating toolbars – those that you can make in the Buttons view and stick buttons in – no longer spazz out when you click on the script editor.
Changelog:
added alert() function in case you need to alert the user for something
added getServerEncodingsList(), setServerEncoding(), and getServerEncoding() to choose encodings from script
added tempKey(), permKey(), and killKey() functions
added ability to choose encodings (UTF-8, ISO*, and many others) in preferences
added support for coroutines!

improved echo(), feedTriggers(), startLogging(), setLabelClickCallback(), setLabelOnEnter(), setLabelOnLeave(), deselect(), resetFormat() to explain what the bad argument is and what it should be, instead of giving an “wrong argument type” error message or none at all
improved echo(), setLabelClickCallback(), setLabelOnEnter(), setLabelOnLeave(), deselect(), resetFormat(), to return true on success or nil+error otherwise (error message just if one is available)
improved permGroup() to allow creating a folder within a folder
As part of the on-going process toward Mudlet 4.0 becoming more International and supporting languages other than English: Lua commands that accept user supplied text as arguments are gradually being reworked to gain the ability to process UTF-8 text. This and related steps are only at a preliminary stage at present but form a major component of the mile-stones on the way to the next major Mudlet release version.
improved startLogging() to return the log filename and the logging status

New in Mudlet 3.0.1 (Apr 14, 2017)

New in Mudlet 3.0.0 (Mar 31, 2017)

A ton of db: fixes:
Mudlet’s database interface has received a lot of attention and improvements, with a lot of functions getting fixes to work – work better, faster, stronger. If you’ve got a patched copy of the db: interface in your scripts, try running them without the local fixes so you can enjoy the new functionality.
macOS improvements:
A lot of improvements have gone into the macOS version of Mudlet: the toolbar no longer goes black when you open the mapper, Mudlet no longer randomly resizes, tab completion works, and the new installer is really good-looking.
