This script moves the ocean map and various cryptic prompt information to a status window, and gags the map and prompt from the normal output. Instructions If you already use a status window for something else, this script probably won't work as it is. You'd need to modify the status windows to combine them somehow, or simply not use one of them. The script is far from perfect, but works decently enough for normal sailing. There's a slight delay in the map updating, which is especially noticeable if you're moving very quickly. if anything appears between the room name or movement message and the map, it will be captured and gagged as well, and the bottom of the map won't be captured/gagged. This happens most frequently when you gain power while melded with the figurehead. Occasionally, for reasons I can't figure out, the prompt will also appear before the map. There's a bug in zMUD with ANSI codes being moved to separate windows. Certain things, mainly things to the right of ? rooms, will have a black background when they shouldn't. There may be other problems I'm forgetting. I suggest testing the script in a safe area, like the dock, before actually sailing with it. After importing the script, if you don't already have a status window open, one will appear, probably covering most of the screen. Place the status window on either the left or right side of the zMUD window by clicking the bar at the top and dragging it to whichever side you prefer. Hold Alt while dragging it to dock the window. Once you have it where you want it, it would be a good idea to save and lock the layout, which can be found under the "Layout" menu at the top of the zMUD window. The status window may not look like it should, depending on your resolution and the size of your zMUD window. For the default settings, it should at least be able to hold 49 lines and be 52 characters wide. If for some reason you can't get it to look something like the image below, I can try and help fix it. It would help to know the resolution you use and to have a screenshot of how it looks on your system. Your ship prompt should be set to cryptic. SHIP PROMPT CRYPTIC to change the prompt. SCLEAR: Manually clear the status window. ALERT OFF: Turn off the prompt and the map. ALERT: Turn on the prompt and the map. By default, the sea map will only be gagged on movement, and not when you LOOK or QL. If you set the AlwaysGag variable to 1, it will always gag the map. ![]() |
