A better QW

KaliKali
edited January 2018 in Mechanic's Corner
I wrote a little script which combines the lists from the website's API (Which lists all uncloaked people logged in, regardless of their plane), and gmcp.Comm.Channel.Players (Which you can get all people from your org from, even if they have a cloaking gem) and sorts and colors it based on mmf's name database.

The syntax is 'player report'
Feedback is appreciated!

    Getting an error when I mash the alias in:

    Alias name=Player report((?i)^player report$) matched.
    Alias: capture group #1 = <player report>
    LUA OK script Player report (Alias227) ran without errors

    Oh, I forgot that I had created that folder manually in the first place. I'll try to make a new version that creates it if it doesn't already exist, but if you make a folder there called 'online' it should fix it.

    Very nice, and a wonderful QoL script.

    I tend to play at a wordwrap of 85, and your display here is 93 characters long, so to keep it from being messed up when I call it I went into the Make It Nice! script and added setWindowWrap("main",93) before the first cecho and then setWindowWrap("main",85) before the final end.

    And then I made it so QW just calls this, because it's so good.
    The purpose of writing is to inflate weak ideas, obscure pure reasoning, and inhibit clarity. With a little practice, writing can be an intimidating and impenetrable fog!

    Fixed an issue with it not getting the most recent version of gmcp.Comm.Channel.Players until after it finished executing.

    Or you can just replace the 'playerreport.getpeople' script with this if you already have it installed, whatever's easier.

    function playerreport.getpeople()

    sendGMCP("Comm.Channel.Players")

    send(" ")

    if not lfs.attributes(getMudletHomeDir().."/playerreport") then

    lfs.mkdir(getMudletHomeDir().."/playerreport")

    end

    downloadFile(getMudletHomeDir().."/playerreport/characters.json",[[http://api.lusternia.com/characters.json]])

    end

    Enjoying this because it shows who's around in your org so I can finally stop using mentorwho. (Which always presented a problem while highlighting my orgmates)

    This should be the final version, I tweaked a few things in it
    It now auto-honours people that aren't already in NDB.
    You can configure the colors of the table and the order the cities display in it by adjusting the variables "orglist", "bordercolor" and "wordcolor" where they are initiated in the 'Make it nice!' script.

    Edited a thing so it can accommodate people with 11 character names. (I did not know they could be that long originally. :( )

    Pretty sure all IRE games have the same character limit... In which case you should increase it from 11.

    I was thinking it was 20, but I'm too lazy to check.
  • KaliKali
    twenty wide columns would be horrific. If I run into a person with an exceedingly longer name, I'll probably make the thing just cut it off at eleven characters, rather than widen the columns.
  • ReylariReylari
    I wonder if there's anyone with longer than 11... The longest I know of is Alaksanteri... Most longer names I've found/come across seem to all stop at 10 :disappointed:

    The maximum length of a player-created name is 12. I believe, at my last check, we have... 5 or 6 people with 12-length names, but they may have been inactive for forever.

    Found one! Cairxauhoyol. Yeesh. What a mouthful. I just knew the Moondancers would have one in there somewhere.

    Okay, I did a thing, it now can squish in 12 character names.

    I don't know if this is still being worked on at all, but figured I'd throw this out there just in case someone might have an answer...Just installed the latest v9 package on here and got

    playerreport = playerreport or {}
    put that on the first line of the script, and it should fix it!

    That did it. Thanks!
