Re: Scripting Programs
I've created a MegaMud hack that displays the hash code for the current room on the status bar. I've never seen this displayed anywhere in the program, but is important to know because it is used in all the MegaMud paths. It's nice to know the current room hash when manually editing paths. Ignore the trailing colon on the code.
The status bar sizing and placement is tweaked. The room code is placed where the exp rate was, the exp rate is placed where the mana/kai regen was, and the mana/kai regen is placed over the clock. I increased the size of the status bar parts. I use a slightly larger font on my computer and the text on the status bar was being truncated. The Mana/Kai regen section is always displayed now, even when not being used by a class (would be hidden before). All edits are done on the MegaMud.exe:

Re: Scripting Programs
Nice our first hexedit for megamud. And an interesting one. I'm not sure if I need it but I can see the need for some of my users who love making mega paths.
May I request a hex that would disable the scroll wheel in the chat window's input? The biggest most annoying bug ever!

Re: Scripting Programs
That's a good request, actually. I'll take a peek later tonight. Should be easy enough.BearFather wrote:Nice our first hexedit for megamud. And an interesting one. I'm not sure if I need it but I can see the need for some of my users who love making mega paths.

Re: Scripting Programs
Well that was an adventure. Below is a fix for the conversation bar and scroll wheel issue. I wanted to just have the scroll wheel events ignored, but couldn't due to the ComboBox and its Edit control having their events tied together within the framework. The code looks for CBN_SELENDOK (9) @ 883E4. There is no simple way to say "ignore the scroll wheel". A programmer would have to make a custom class to override the ComboBox event handler, which wasn't done here, obviously.
As a compromise, the ComboBox will hold the single last command/item. The scroll wheel will not raise events on a ComboBox with a single item. If you use the scroll wheel and do populate the ComboBox, or use the drop down, you will get a single room re-display. It won't spam, though.
Let me know if anyone encounters issues:

Re: Scripting Programs
Yes I did. I have attached both versions to this post.
scr-room-megamud.exe:
This has the Convo box scroll wheel edit and the room hash in the status bat edit.
noscroll-megamud.exe:
This is just the no Convo box scroll edit.
scr-room-megamud.exe:
