Here's what i'm confused about, with the #line command i'm perfectly able to log whatever line i want to, so for things such as this:

You have a few options.

You can open a new terminal and use the linux tail command (tail -f tells.txt) to use a different window, on some systems you can launch a new terminal and have it tail a log file with the #system command.


You can also use: #run var tail -f tells.txt, and use #var to switch to the var sessions which should be running the tail command.


If you don't want to bother with a tells.txt file you could use:

#ACTION {~%0 tells you %1} {#gts #showme {%0 told you %1}}

The 'gts' session is the name of the startup session.

these are good suggestions, but here's my problem
i'm having difficulties with #run and #system at the moment, thats probabbly more of a failure on my part, but the #gts, #showme was a great idea.... the only reason i wouldn't like to do that is because i can't see a list of #showme, i can only see it at the specific time of the tell. My objective here is to gag the tells i'm getting from players, and display it in this seperate window.... i'm still looking at #run and #system but do you know of any other way?

[Scandum]

#run and #system don't work with wintin++, so I guess that's the problem if you're on windows.

You can install cygwin http://tintin.sourceforge.net/install.php#Windows to gain more functionality but it's a 100 to 200 MB install.

I must be a knucklehead but i can't open the .bat file for cygwin using windows, it freaks... dunno why

[Tyler]

while we're on a completely unrelated subject, is there a way to play a different sound other than the one from #bell using wt++?

[Scandum]

Try to open the file with wordpad.exe

With cygwin installed you can play .wav files using: #system cat file.wav > /dev/dsp&}
