How to use Potato MU Client

Cobalt

I'm trying to set up a pages spawn thing on Potato, but it just appears to be eating my pages and not setting up a new spawn window??

@Cobaltasaurus Can you take a screenshot of what you have set up right now?

@Cobaltasaurus I'm really not sure what might be happening. I set up the exact same global event, and the output was that the page would go into both my main window and the spawn window. (You can keep it from doing that via "Omit From".)

Try closing and reopening Potato. I have seen it before where a spawn window gets closed and then doesn't successfully reopen.

Cobalt

Nope, closing and reopening didn't help.

Cobalt

Okay, not sure what I did to get it working but it's started to work now. I went and made a macro window, but it doesn't seem to be connected ... but its kind of working now.

Make sure you've got the "Spawn To" box checked to actually send it somewhere. If you just Omit From Display, stuff will just disappear without going anywhere (which would be one way to ignore someone I guess, heh).

@Cobaltasaurus Try changing from wildcard to "contains" and changing your pattern to just "pages:".

Also try putting a channel into a spawn window, and see if it creates the window at all. There might be something else going on.

This is a giant peeve of mine -- giving advice to do something I have already done. As you can see by the screen shot that I took, the "Spawn To" box is actually clicked.

Ack, sorry. Missed that (somehow, dunno how) and it was my primary problem in getting mine to work.

@Cobaltasaurus I think the issue was you were missing the Continue? checkbox being selected.

Also if you use:

^(To (|From afar, |Long distance to .+?: |\S.{1,20} pages:|You paged .+? with).*$

it will cover all forms of pages..

I have a weird issue though. For some reason when connecting to MU's hosted on digitalocean I get a delay before it connects on potatomu and only on potatomu. Once connected there is no command delay, so I am thinking something handshake related. Anyone know a fix for this?

Since this thread is still relevant, I don't feel bad necro-ing it up a bit.

Interestingly, this pattern doesn't seem to do anything when I put it in Potato under the regexp option. Is there a change that needs to be made to this to make it work properly?

Cobalt

I still can't get page spawning to work. Someone help!

Cobalt

For those still struggling with it I got page spawning to work thanks to @somasatori.

Put the following code in, and make sure you have it set from wild card to 'regexp'.

(\w* pages: .*|From afar, .*|Long distance to .*: .*|You paged .* with .*|To \(.*\), \w* pages: .*)

@Cobaltasaurus

Two recommendations:

+ instead of *. + means 'at least one', so the code will only trigger when there's something there
Start the whole thing with ^, which is the beginning-of-line indicator, so it doesn't trigger when someone is talking about a page from someone else. Might as well end it with $ which is the end-of-line indicator.

In short:

^(\w+ pages: .+|From afar, .+|Long distance to .+: .+|You paged .+ with .+|To $.+$, \w+ pages: .+)$

I know this is an old thread and I should state that I am very VERY code !smart.

Is there a way to set up an ignore function in Potato?

Since someone raised the thread from the dead... /grab doesn't seem to work for MUX. It tries to do an @decomp/tf, which doesn't exist in MUX.

Looking at the documentation, it looks like it was supposed to be fixed but it still throws an error for me, looking for the 'Tinyfugue>' prefix to the line.

I'd appreciate any help!

Hope this helps!

@Catsmeow not sure what you're trying to ignore. Explain more?

skew

@bladesurfer I have no idea what any of that is... what is /grab supposed to do, practically speaking?
