Here's a trigger to teach someone when they arrive:

action put \t teach %teach.skill $1 when (\w+) just arrived
(where %teach.skill is set to the name of a class)

I've never been able to capture text using non-trigger-based scripting. If it's possible, it's probably not easy.

Are any of the outside help programs free? Only really want it for one or two little bits.

Maybe in the future, someone will find a way of making "rooms" blend a bit more. Instead of someone being not in your area because they've just gone north, you'll still be able to chase them.

You head in the direction Littlerunningman just went and begin to stalk him.

Very vague idea I know.

Because in TF 99% of the time you're AFK, so you can't just depart and dive back in.

You could always keep nothing on your person except cheapo storebought weapon/armor, and then not bother with your grave at all. Just depart, grab a new favor, buy some new junk, and proceed onward to more training.

Ok here's what I've done. I play dragon realms using StormFront on my laptop. Last night I was staying, unexpectedly, at my girlfriends house and installed StormFront there so I could play. I had none of my scripts or highlights etc as I expected, this wasn't a problem. I had heard about exporting/importing settings and how they're saved on the server but couldn't find out how to download them.

Now the problem. I'm not back at home on the laptop and all my highlights are gone with my scripts. I've only got the scripts that I made last night on my girlfriends computer. :s

It's like it's done the opposite of what I wanted, I was hoping to get the scripts from my laptop, onto my girlfriends pc, but instead it's wiped my laptop settings and replaced them with my girlfriends pcs settings.

Hope you get the idea, I had loads of highlights...

Did you ever export (Save) your settings on your laptop? If so, you should be able to restore them from your most recent save.

I think I've lost all mine before doing something similar to what you described. I had all my highlights saved locally, but then swapped machines so changed it to server side. I went back to my old machine - but StormFront still thought I wanted to use server side - since those settings are now saved server side - so it over-wrote my previous settings and had the highlights that I was using from the newer machine.

If you didn't export your settings prior to doing the local/server-side switch, I think they are long gone.

Hope that helps. Sorry it isn't better news.

The whole server side thing needs serious work I think. I too play on my girlfriend's machine sometimes, but I manually transfer my settings over on an SD card and keep all my settings local. It's far too easy to make a mistake like you described and lose all your settings.

Another of my 'favorite features' of SF is that it keeps a server-side setting for where you want to save your logs, whether you chose local or server. Every time you switch machines, unless the filepaths are precisely identical, you have to tell it where to save.

>>then switching back to local

When you switch your settings to local, it deletes them from the server. This has happened to me numerous times.What you want to do is not set them to server, you want to export them to your hard disk.

Also, when you are about to go out of town and decide to save your settings on the server, make sure to give StormFront ample time to upload them. It takes a little while, but it doesn't indicate how long it will take, or give you a message when it finishes. I once deleted all my settings by starting the FE, setting the location to "Server," thinking "Is that it?" shrugging, and closing SF. Got to my hotel five hours later, logged in, and had no settings.

The moral here is to export. Export every day. Export, export, export.

Hey, any chance of getting an auto-export feature?

>No, the moral here is to avoid SF like the plague that it is.

Just so you've got an opposing opinion, I've been using SF since day 1 and have not had any problems of that nature. My settings have always been stored on the server, and I've played on campus, at my parent's, brother's, cousin's, and friend's houses with no adverse effects besides resolution differences. I havn't used it at my girlfriend's place, which may cause some cosmic server distruption.

-Durnil

If you keep your settings on the server, you should never have any problems with them. The issues only start once you decide it is a good idea to store them locally, and then start tinkering with saving them alternately on the server and on the hard drive.

The lack of features like auto-sneak or onscreen clickey-buttons may be enough of a drawback for some to neglect SF entirely, but I personally will take those in stride in exchange for the cleanline design, custom highlights palette, and limitless scripting variables of the StormFront FE. Personally, I would rather not play DR at all than play it using the wizard, but I'm not going to go bashing the wizard in the hopes that doing so will cause everyone to quit using it and thus result in more development of my own preferred FE.

To each their own.

Stormfront has skins? Where do you get them?

on the DR downloads page there are a couple different skins, the rest are custom player created and you'll have to find them

>>Everyone raves and raves about Genie but I haven't taken the plunge myself. One shortcoming of Genie is, it won't do background colors for highlights, which I use extensively.

I've tried Genie, it's great if you subscribe to it, since you can use all the what ifs and have nots, but other than for scripting, it's not all that great. Though, I do like the speach goes into it's own window, but I can have that if I am playing my mm and have dg up in the room i'm in. Except for whispers. So, I don't use it except when playing tf

There should be an xml file with your settings either in your SF directory or just in C:\, depending on where you saved it. If you can't find it there, do a windows search for *.xml for all xml files on the laptop. Might take a while, but it would probably save you a lot of time.

oh... Mount the image using an emulator or something? That enters the realm in which I'm dumb.

Life is good again. I found the file and was able to restore all my settings.

A snow goblin reaches down and gently pets your corpse, then quickly looks about to make sure no one noticed.

I've seen programs like Kitrinx's Crutch where they take text from the wizard/stormfront, work things out with it, then send text back.

I'm not sure if there's any policy or anything against it, but can anyone help me learn to do it? I can use Visual Basic and Delphi, can learn to use anything else if need be though.

Getting tired of copying/pasting into my spreadsheets, takes ages, would be good to have a program where I can click one button to do what I want. As it is now I have to keep flicking through all sorts and it's really distracting.

Please help.

You might look at this site. http://soldoursoultoplay.net/stormfrontfess.htm

It has several skins.
