 TWX Proxy - New Commands addQuickText and clearQuickTextRemember my recent rant about TWX Colors:
Subject: Stupid question of the day? It included this chart showing TWX codes out of order: Code: | Color | ANSI | TWX | TW2002 | |Black | ^[30m | ANSI_0 | ~a | |Red | ^[31m | ANSI_4 | ~b | |Green | ^[32m | ANSI_2 | ~c | |Yellow | ^[33m | ANSI_6 | ~d | |Blue | ^[34m | ANSI_1 | ~e | |Magenta| ^[35m | ANSI_5 | ~f | |Cyan | ^[36m | ANSI_3 | ~g | |White | ^[37m | ANSI_7 | ~h | This is a partial list, there are actually over 40 codes. The column on the far right is the internal color codes used by TW2002. You can see them in MENUFILE.TXT, which holds the help menu screens, and they are used internally as a shorthand for ANSI color codes in prompts and other screens. In another post you may have noticed TWX color codes are RED:  They are RED because they should be considered depreciated (Along with setVar). TWX 2.06.05+ will support TW2002 color codes, which are in ANSI order "krgybmcw" and capital letters are the bright versions of the same color. For bright white ANSI_15 is replaced with ~H and you can include the code in the string. So the above snippet becomes:  Not that much of a difference, but each color code is 10 characters the old way and only 2 characters the new way, so you probably didn't even notice I made the dashes yellow and the string is still shorted than the original. You can also use actual ANSI codes (i.e. "^[3A' - cursor up 3 lines), which are actually still shorter than TWX color codes. This is so much easier to use I may actually consider writing a TWX script. But wait, there is more!!! The new commands addQuickText and clearQuickText let you create your own color codes!  User color codes are applied first, so they override built-in color codes, so you can even change existing colors. See the TWX WIKI for more information: https://github.com/MicroBlaster/TWXProx ... dQuickText _________________ Regards, Micro Website: http://www.microblaster.net TWGS2.20b/TW3.34: telnet://twgs.microblaster.net:2002 ICQ is Dead Jim!

Re: TWX Proxy - New Commands addQuickText and clearQuickTex Heya, Micro, great job on all your hard work and advancements!
I have a few ideas to throw into the mix... Multi-threading sounds so that scripts will no longer become frozen during playback, allowing for more immersed gaming experiences (possible means): https://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/Parallel_procedures https://www.sigmdel.ca/michel/program/f ... ad_en.html https://forum.lazarus.freepascal.org/in ... ic=31819.0 Adding MP3 files as an option too, would also allow for jukebox scripts and background playlists: https://forum.lazarus.freepascal.org/in ... ic=33205.0 Quote: Take a look at the following fresh new bindings: mpg123: https://github.com/DJMaster/mpg123-fpc PortAudio: https://github.com/DJMaster/portaudio-fpc Strongly tested under Windows. Linux and other OSs will be available soon. Add a compound 'for' command: for ($i=0;$i<=SECTORS;$i++) looping... end Add 'for' and 'while' breaks: break And of course those famous tenary opers (perhaps even compounded): $c = ($a < $b) ? a : b $continue = ($a < $b) ? (($x <= $y) ? true : false) : false Modify 'systemScript' to provide an attribute that also ignores all 'stop' commands, but that the script's internal 'halt' commands will still process. That is also if the attribute is not included in the command, then it defaults to FALSE. systemScript {NOSTOP} As applicable, modify all stored SECTOR.x.x[x] data to update when refreshed in game, such as when running bot 'figs' command, and the like--and not only when a sector is physically visited. Unless you fixed it already, IIRC, padLeft and PadRight didn't work. Also, wildcards don't seem to process correctly in compiled scripts. _________________ “The object of life is not to be on the side of the majority, but to escape finding one’s self in the ranks of the insane.” — Marcus Aurelius TWX Proxy Reference Online |

Re: TWX Proxy - New Commands addQuickText and clearQuickTex Great ideas, but pretty far beyond the scope of my abilities in Pascal. We want to wrap up the current version, maybe make a few changes to the setup dialog, and then move one.
The goal here is to get this into c# and then changes you are proposing will be a lot easier. i created an organization on GitHub to keep the code.

Re: TWX Proxy - New Commands addQuickText and clearQuickTex ...ohhh thought of a few booleans that might be helpful to have:
SECTOR.BLACKHOLE[sector] (zero warps out) SECTOR.ONEWARPIN[sector] (one warp both in and one or more warps out) SECTOR.DEADEND[sector] (one way both in and out--the same sector both ways.) _________________ “The object of life is not to be on the side of the majority, but to escape finding one’s self in the ranks of the insane.” — Marcus Aurelius TWX Proxy Reference Online Last edited by Adept on Fri Apr 03, 2020 12:06 am, edited 1 time in total. |

Re: TWX Proxy - New Commands addQuickText and clearQuickTex Adept wrote: Also, I'm updating the syntax highlighter for Notepad++, did I miss any new commands or have anything incorrect? also coming soon: GetBotList $array ~a will be converted to ^[30m, so you typically woldn't use ^[30m (or the other color literals) that are predefined. ^[30m is valid though as well as any ansi code in that format, not just the predefined ones. _________________ Regards, Micro Website: http://www.microblaster.net TWGS2.20b/TW3.34: telnet://twgs.microblaster.net:2002 ICQ is Dead Jim!

Re: TWX Proxy - New Commands addQuickText and clearQuickTex Okay, cool.
I had figured just putting in all the color formats, just so they are there if anyone prefers to use one over the other or whatever. _________________ “The object of life is not to be on the side of the majority, but to escape finding one’s self in the ranks of the insane.” — Marcus Aurelius TWX Proxy Reference Online |

Just pointing out that ^[*m where * can be any color code is valid, as well as cursor movement, clear screen, and any other ANSI codes. My extension to VSCODE does not highlight them at this time though. I might try to add it later. _________________ Regards, Micro Website: http://www.microblaster.net TWGS2.20b/TW3.34: telnet://twgs.microblaster.net:2002 ICQ is Dead Jim!

Re: TWX Proxy - New Commands addQuickText and clearQuickTex I was testing the new ANSI commands to understand them and think I have found a few issues with them:
Lowercase and uppercase dark colors work whether quoted or not; however, when unquoted lowercase colors (dark colors) display as a bright color and dark when quoted. echo ~c "Test." or echo "~c Test." Uppercase colors display as bright either way. ~i as a black background displays as white. Background colors only work as lowercase and conflict with special commands when unquoted, it seems then that they are treated as uppercase. For the special commands: ~4 is displaying as gray on blue instead of white on blue ~8 is displaying as blinking bright red instead of blinking white. ~! Clear screen doesn't actually clear the screen. You cannot use ~ when it's a valid color code if you're meaning to use it as a text line as an approximate symbol, as it will strip away the first character. So, really they should be used only within quotes. As well all ANSI escape codes seem to be working fine--which should also be used within quotes. _________________ “The object of life is not to be on the side of the majority, but to escape finding one’s self in the ranks of the insane.” — Marcus Aurelius TWX Proxy Reference Online |

Uppercase colors display as bright either way. You can't use color codes outside of a string. echo "~c" "Test." should work, because echo just conceits all the arguments it receives. You invalid argument really should have thrown a compiler error. Are you getting any errors when using color codes INSIDE quotes? I will add ~~ for use as a literal ~ symbol. Most people don't use the symbol, so I figure impact on existing scripts should be minimal. What terminal are you using for "Clear Screen"? '^[2J' acts differently in different terminal programs. Putty clears the screen, but does not home the cursor, while swath does both. I have not tested in any other terminal programs, but strictly speaking I think putty is probably correct. The code "~!" is replaced with "^[2J^[H" which is clear screen and home cursor. It really should work in any terminal program. _________________ Regards, Micro Website: http://www.microblaster.net TWGS2.20b/TW3.34: telnet://twgs.microblaster.net:2002 ICQ is Dead Jim!

Re: TWX Proxy - New Commands addQuickText and clearQuickTex Oh no errors were ever displayed, it either showed the color or as gray.
I am using SWATH in Windows 10. I also noticed this morning that ASCII characters from PabloDraw (or The Draw) no longer seem to display correctly, but also true for an older version of TWX Proxy, so am wondering if it's due to Windows 10? The only way to show ASCII now is by using #[number] outside of quotes, e.g., echo "* Testing... " #8 #176 "*" www.webopedia.com/TERM/E/extended_ASCII.html _________________ “The object of life is not to be on the side of the majority, but to escape finding one’s self in the ranks of the insane.” — Marcus Aurelius TWX Proxy Reference Online |

Re: TWX Proxy - New Commands addQuickText and clearQuickTex Adept wrote: ~i as a black background displays as white. This was actually a typo in the source code and will be corrected int the next version. I have decided to go a slightly different route on some of the colors. a-h,A-H,i-p Will remain the same as well as 0-9, but I deleted the other six colors and added I-P as Blinking versions. I added Double Tilde (~~) if you need a literal Tilde (~) in your string. I also added: ~s Save Current Cursor Position ~u Restore Saved Cursor Position ~! Clears the screen and homes the cursor in both Swath and Putty. What terminal where you using when it did not clear the screen? _________________ Regards, Micro Website: http://www.microblaster.net TWGS2.20b/TW3.34: telnet://twgs.microblaster.net:2002 ICQ is Dead Jim!

Re: TWX Proxy - New Commands addQuickText and clearQuickTex I used SWATH...perhaps I used it wrong?
Can't flashing text be both dark and bright colored? ...Is a work in progress, but so far am nearly finished with the ANSI characters and colors pages: http://www.dhtwgs.net/twxproxy_view.phtml _________________ “The object of life is not to be on the side of the majority, but to escape finding one’s self in the ranks of the insane.” — Marcus Aurelius TWX Proxy Reference Online |
