Using #sub multiple times on the same line. A chat channel line.

On aardwolf they have a Holdem Poker game, I have all of the output for this going to another window.

However I wanted to do many #subs on stuff to make the very quickly coming in lines less spammy.

With the amount of subs I am doing, and also how quickly new lines comin, It gets all garbled. The only thing I can think of is to make all lines going to the child window be on a queue so that sub dont get messed up, but maybe i am wrong and there is a better way of doing this many subs.

Here are some replacement i make:

Spades=S
Hearts=H
Diamonds=D
Clubs=C
Jack=J
Queen=Q
King=K
Ace=A
has been awarded=wins
Pool cards for this hand:=Pool
The Flop has been drawn:=FLOP:
The Turn card is:=TURN:
The River card is:=RIVER:
has put in a blind=blind
has called the bet at=called at
wins with=wins

zMud doesn't actually multiple #SUBS on the same line. CMud does though, you might want to consider upgrading.

Im wondering if my old scripts would work correctly if i move over to cmud

Some of them will need changing (list of changes), but CMUD includes a compatability report to flag common problems, and if you need any help you can ask here on the forums.

I guess I am getting senile already. Give me another year or 2 and I will forget my own name. I suppose I should just ask for a whole group of example mud text and write up something that works right, or did I do that already? Bah.

Xekon, if you would be so kind as to supply a short log of a doing this gambling I will write you something that is pretty.

Lol Vij, moment you get something wrong you feel the need to atone by solving the problem completely Mr. Green

OK I did some logging with my current triggers first let me post my trigger then the large output i logged.
What you will notice is that the triggers actually manage to work most of the time, but then there are the obvious times where something just goes super haywire and things get all jarbled.

on my main window I only have the following trigger:

Were you playing in any of this, or just observing? I ask because I don't see it telling you hole cards dealt at the beginning of a hand. I assume that is what the blind is, but I haven't really been following the latest ways to ruin the game of poker.

Also where do you want the output to end up? Do you want it gagged off the main window?

I was a spectator to this poker game. I was not playing myself.

on aardwolf you can see a list of poker game by doing a (will show games and there game id number):
poker gamelist

then you can watch that game by doing a:
poker watch <game_number_here>

I would like the output to endup in the gear window. that I have in my zmud.

Yes I was normally gaging it from the main window, i simply didnt gag this time so I could have both original and not originaly strings for you to compare.

I was thinking of all sorts of fun things to do with this, but I didn't quite bother with some the stuff that can be done. Because of the way it is structured you could easily add some other display items like all cards dealt in the hand. I was thinking of doing some probablity stuff, but I will leave that up to you. Here is the quick and dirty way to do it.

nice i never thought of setting it as a string and then doing string manipulation.

So, If I wanted to simply add the color coding back the way that the mud originally outputs it....

Then I would simply need to insert ansi codes into the @HoldDisplay variable before its sent to the gear window right? or is there a way to make the trigger automatically catch the original colors

Inserting the colors you want will probably be the easiest. Getting the original colors as part of the capture makes the parsing very difficult. I have done that before it isn't pretty or fun.

The main benefit I see of doing it the way I have it is for when you want to start building something that suggests probabilities and betting. That was some of the fancy stuff I was thinking about doing, but I really just don't have the time to write all of it.

tried out the script you made and something is not adding up.

This:

The only conclusion that i can come up with is that the holdem trigger is being fired faster than the string manipulations can be processed, however I could be way off base here.

However if this were the case, is there a way to use a variable with a name that changes every time the trigger is fired, maybe like @HoldDisplay+randominteger or something...

Bah, I forgot zMud does that. Put the entire #WHILE portion inside a #PRIORITY command. Like this

How Can I elegantly apply coloring of the holdcard and hold suit in this string (here the holdcard and holdsuit are already shortened):
HAND: 4673/350/350 *(7H QH | 7D TH JS)

I have one problem left, which appeared after adding a loop in the trigger that checks for numeric words and then adds color syntax to them, also this happens when there is a number 40 involved, except when people cashout, it always does it when they cashout. below is an example of the problem: (THIS MAY BE A ZMUD BUG)

Below you can see all the weird stuff it adds to the front of strings: (strange its not doing it anymore, maybe it was just a zmud issue)
