The TinTin++ message board

[Incurion]

I like to play the cleric class on a mud sometimes but the exp mods have been slow in the past so i created a tintin++ script to "bot" the cleric class. The bot was written originally in tt++ but when i moved to windows for a while, i had rebuilt the script in Wintin.net. I ran into a problem with the program where the script became too long for the system to handle and random actions wouldn't trigger because i had written too many lines.

I'm back on TinTin++ and planning to once again edit the script to the newest version. Since this script is basically a bot, I've been wondering how i might go about it. I dont fully understand the ability to script using the non tintin script language, although i understand there has been additions that make running perl scripts etc doable. if anyone can help me with that i would appreciate.

otherwise here is my main goal:
I don't need to have direct access to the input output while the script is running, so a fully functional client isnt necisary, in fact i might be more interested on how i could alter the source code to compile something that could install on a webserver and interact with an html webpage that had a button that "logged" the cleric in and added a playername to an "ok to heal" variable

also. is there an easy way to talk to a remote mysql server using tintin+? maybe monitor the server for changes.

TinTin++ scripting improved quite a bit in recent years, and if you're good with regular expressions and don't want to do low level programming you're probably best off scripting in the tt++ language.

You could have the webserver maintain a log file. So if someone would click a button the website would log a command to a log file.

Next inside tt++ you'd use: #run {tail} {tail -f <filename>}, this will create a session named {tail} that'll tail the log file, and you can create actions inside this session to respond to anything logged to the log file being tailed.

It's also possible to run a chat server with #chat, which would be accessible by clients supporting MMCP (Mud Master Chat Protocol). http://www.mudpedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_MUD_clients#Protocol_support

Guess you could look into #run or #script for monitoring a mysql server as well.
