100 MUSHclient resources for MUD players

Primary methods for persistent data storage within the world file. Variables stored this way survive client restarts.

Executes a command or script after a specified delay. Use DoAfterSpecial for higher precision and control over script evaluation.

Sends a raw string directly to the MUD server. Essential for basic automation and alias responses.

Programmatically creates triggers and aliases. Useful for plugins that need to dynamically adapt to game states.

Outputs text directly to the MUSHclient output window without sending it to the server. Use for debugging and local status updates.

Forces the client to process a string as if the user typed it, allowing it to trigger existing aliases.

Retrieves client state information (e.g., GetInfo(2) for OS version, GetInfo(20) for world name).

Toggles the active state of specific triggers or aliases by name. Key for managing state-based logic (e.g., combat modes).

Retrieves a variable value from a different loaded plugin using its Unique ID. Vital for inter-plugin communication.

Executes a function defined in another plugin. Requires the function to be exported in the target plugin's script.

Forces an immediate save of variables and configuration to the disk to prevent data loss on crashes.

Removes a variable from the world's persistent storage to manage memory and clean up temporary state.

Outputs colored text to the local window using ANSI color codes or RGB values. Useful for custom UI messages.

Returns the number of lines currently in the output buffer, used for parsing history or logging scripts.

Appends text to the output window without a newline. Allows for building complex local lines piece by piece.

Initializes a miniwindow surface. Requires a unique window ID, position, size, and background color.

Performs drawing operations like filling rectangles, drawing borders, or clearing areas within a miniwindow.

Renders text into a miniwindow. Supports font selection and precise X/Y coordinate placement.

Defines an interactive area within a miniwindow that responds to mouse clicks, hovers, and drags.

Loads and displays external BMP or PNG images within the UI. Essential for graphical HUDs and maps.

Draws lines between two points. Used for creating health bars, separators, and custom borders.

Draws circles or ellipses. Useful for cooldown timers or circular status indicators.

Draws complex shapes by defining a set of vertices. Required for custom map rendering.

Controls the visibility of a miniwindow. Allows for toggling UI elements like inventories or maps.

Loads a specific font into memory for use with WindowText. Supports anti-aliasing and bold/italic styles.

Creates a popup context menu when a user interacts with a hotspot. Great for right-click functionality.

Implements logic to allow users to move miniwindows around the screen and save their positions.

MUSHclient includes the lsqlite3 library. Use this for large-scale data storage like mob databases or item logs.

Provides Perl-compatible regular expressions. Far more powerful than standard Lua patterns for complex trigger matching.

Standard function called when a plugin is loaded. Use this to initialize variables and set up UI elements.

Listens for messages broadcast by other plugins. The primary mechanism for event-driven multi-plugin systems.

Enables bitwise operations in Lua 5.1, necessary for handling certain network protocols and binary data formats.

Configure MUSHclient to open scripts in VS Code or Notepad++ instead of the built-in editor for better syntax highlighting.

Use 'winetricks corefonts' and 'winetricks lucida' to fix font rendering issues when running MUSHclient on non-Windows systems.

Manual editing of .xml plugin files to define aliases, triggers, and scripts in a single portable file.

Enables external HTTP requests or socket connections. Used for fetching web data or integrating with Discord via webhooks.

Using world.AnsiNote to preserve color codes from the MUD when echoing text locally or into miniwindows.
