A new version of Mudlet has been released. This is the version we have been waiting for because it contains full support for MSDP. No more hacks using ATCP or parsing data,

For those with working MSDP scripts, if you switch to MSDP from ATCP, you will need to adjust your scripts a bit.


For more information see http://www.mudlet.org/

One of new additions is a variable window. In this example you can see the MSDP variable registering as they are received.

Pretty simple stuff:
lua sendMSDP("REPORT", "ROOM_EXITS") will request room_exits variable
lua msdp will show the results
ROOM_EXITS = {
South = "O",
Up = "O",
West = "O",
East = "O",
North = "O"
},

O stands for open.

Here's a snippet of what I use to request all msdp variables from Sloth...

Code: Select all

function initialise_msdp()
  local vars = {
    "SERVER_ID",
    "WORLD_TIME",
    "CHARACTER_NAME",
    "HEALTH",
    "HEALTH_MAX",
    "MANA",
    "MANA_MAX",
    "MOVEMENT",
    "MOVEMENT_MAX",
    "AREA_NAME",
    "ROOM_NAME",
    "ROOM_VNUM",
    "AC",
    "HONOR",
    "CONTINENT",
    "LEVEL",
    "CLASS",
    "DRACHMA",
    "ALIGNMENT",
    "EXPERIENCE",
    "MONEY",
    "STR",
    "CON",
    "DEX",
    "WIS",
    "INT",
    "STR_PERM",
    "CON_PERM",
    "DEX_PERM",
    "WIS_PERM",
    "INT_PERM",
    "WEAPON_DAM",
    "SPELL_BONUS_CAP",
    "HEAL_BONUS",
    "HEAL_BONUS_CAP",
       "CHARISMA",
    "CHARISMA_CAP",
    "FLAIL_DAM",
    "KICK_DAM",
    "HAND_DAM",
    "HAND_DAM_CAP",
    "DAM_RED",
    "DAM_RED_CAP",
    "SEX",
    "GROUP_LEADER",
    "TANK_HEALTH",
    "TANK_HEALTH_MAX",
    "TANK_LEVEL",
    "TANK_NAME",
    "LEVEL_SEC",
    "LEVEL_TER",
    "LEVEL_QUA",
    "LEVEL_QUI",
    "LEVEL_HEX",
    "LEVEL_SEP",
    "LEVEL_OCT",
    "LEVEL_AVA",
    "CITIZEN",
    "CLASS_SEC",
    "CLASS_TER",
    "CLASS_QUA",
    "CLASS_QUI",
    "CLASS_HEX",
    "CLASS_SEP",
    "CLASS_OCT",
    "CLASS_AVA",
    "STAB_DAM",
    "STAB_DAM_CAP",
    "INT_PERM",
    "HITROLL",
    "DAMROLL",
    "OPPONENT_HEALTH",
    "OPPONENT_HEALTH_MAX",
    "OPPONENT_NAME",
    "OPPONENT_LEVEL",
    "TERRAIN",
    "AFFECTS",
    "ROOM_EXITS",
      }
  for k,v in pairs(vars) do
    sendMSDP("REPORT",v)
  end
end

initialise_msdp()

After copy/pasting this in a new script, you can enter lua msdp on the command line to see all the variables that will automatically update!

I notice that Akaya doesn't list WEAPON_DAM_CAP in his variables.
This was added in August, Akaya see that post.
Thanks

There are a few I'm missing, you're right. I noticed HUNGER and THIRST wasn't on there either. Let me see if I can hunt down a full list...

Is there MSDP support for AREA_VNUM or something like it? I know there's AREA_NAME but a matching VNUM would do wonders.
