The mud I play has several poker halls, where players can get together and play 5 card draw. What I'm trying to do is replace the text format of the cards:

[ Four of Clubs ] [ Seven of Spades ] [ Jack of Diamonds ] [ Queen of Clubs ] [ Ace of Clubs ]

with .gif's of each card. So far, no luck. I've been trying to use something like:

Is it possible to use variables within mxp? If I set it up using something like

zMUD variables are expanded using either #MXP or #SUB. However, @Firstsuit.gif is recognized as a variable name, so you'd need to use @FirstRank@{FirstSuit}.gif.

The numbered parameters might be simpler.
#TR {~[ (%w) of (%w) ~] ~[ (%w) of (%w) ~] ~[ (%w) of (%w) ~] ~[ (%w) of (%w) ~] ~[ (%w) of (%w) ~]} {#MXP ~<image cards\%1%2.gif> ~<image cards\%3%4.gif> ~<image cards\%5%6.gif> ~<image cards\%7%8.gif> ~<image cards\%9%10.gif>}

That works just fine, it actually occured to me a minute after I posted Smile

. I'm now trying to give it some added functionality. When you "sayto dealer 'card number'", you kick that card in and draw another, I want to be able to replace cards by clicking those I don't want. It looked pretty simple, doing so like this:

Just curious, but on my mud we also have a card game (blackjack in this case)
And i was just curious, they have # for the #'s and words for the words.
So 6 of clubs and king of clubs.
Wanted to make a change to the script so that it would work on either #'s or words, but at a loss as to how to do that.
Tried this:

#TR { (%w) of (%w).} {#MXP ~<Images\%1%2.gif>}

#ECHO You get a King of hearts.

Result printed on screen
You get a King of hearts.
<Images\Kinghearts.gif>

Now, dunno if it matters in the whole thing, but the mud isn't MXP enabled. But I DO have MXP enabled in ZMud.

Any help?

Use %a instead of %w to match either digits or letters.

Thanks for that tip!
Now, can u tell me why it is diplaying the text <Images\Kinghearts.gif> rather than the image?
(and yes, the images are in the Images directory in the mud directory)

Because <Images\Kinghearts.gif> is not a valid MXP tag. What you want is <image Images\Kinghearts.gif>

oh dammit...LOL
I was thinking from the examples above that the directory was CALLED image cards and not that it was a tag for image and card was the directory.

k, got a followup question. It don't work exactly as I would like. Might be because the image it to big or something:

Any way to get it to NOT overlap like that?

Use smaller pictures, maybe?

Try <image ... align=bottom> and see if that works.

Adept Joined: 20 Jul 2004 Posts: 268

Tried:
#MXP ~<image "Images\%1%2.gif" align="bottom">
&
#MXP ~<image Images\%1%2.gif align=bottom>

Both show the exact same thing as without the align.
