Installing MTScripts

1. Go to start menu, go to my computer. This is called computer in vista
2. go to local disk (c:), go to program files. If these folders are not displaying, look for a button somewhere that says display the contents of this folder.
3. Select MonkeyTerm, but don't open it. You can just arrow to it with the keyboard
4. hold down the ctrl key and press c before releasing both keys. This copies the MonkeyTerm folder to the clipboard.
5. Hold down the ctrl key again and press the v key before releasing both keys one more time. This will create a copy of the MonkeyTerm folder that is called "copy of MonkeyTerm" or "monkeyTerm - copy" in the case of Vista or Windows 7.

Please note:
Alter Aeon has provided me with a copy of their own Mud Sound Protocol MSP soundpack for use in MTScripts with my promise that it will be used only for Alter Aeon. I need you all to help me out by please NOT copying the sounds out of the Alter Aeon MSP folder under the sounds directory in MTScripts for use anywhere besides Alter Aeon. Being allowed to use these sounds are a big help to me and you MTScripts users and having the permission to use them at all removed because someone went and stole the sounds would be a huge slap in the face both to me and all you loyal MTScripts users. If I notice any of those sounds playing somewhere other than Alter Aeon, I will happily inform the Alter Aeon staff of it. Thank you all very much and Thanks in a big way to Alter Aeon for letting us use your own sounds. Some of the sounds in Alter Aeon MSP are sounds that I have placed there and might have a different view on what you can do with them. If you want sounds from MTScripts, contact me before doing so please, so I can let you know which ones are and are not off limits. I think we can make this work.

• MTScripts v 5.4.3.0
  1. General changes
     1. New sound updater that pulls the sounds using a different protocol from a different server that I'm paying for. It's still less than perfect, but it is faster and my code should be a bit more reliable. When updating to MTScripts 5430, users will notice that a lot of new sounds suddenly download, this is because the new sound updater program has access to newer sounds than the older sound updater. At some point we may close the original server. In any event, Big thank you goes out to Lilmike on alter aeon, who has up till now been our sound update server. He has dealt with plenty of notices and reminders about issues through the past few years, all the while never asking us to pay for the service and we definitely appreciate his willingness to help.
     2. The documentation wiki is back up! For a couple years now, the wiki that contained the documentation users were presented with when they hit ctrl+f1 while in Monkey Term with an MTScripts session open was horribly broken and none of the content was available. I unfortunately failed to restore the old wiki, so we're starting from scratch. It'll all come back eventually as we get time to write it all up. At present the only session with documentation is Cyber Assault, and it's not complete as of this writing.
     3. Fixed nasty bug in the new as of 5400 removeVariableGroup sub in the default.mos script that was deleting all the wrong variables.
     4. Star Conquest, Alter Aeon and Cyber Assault all have two new config commands.
        • KCMD is a config command for turning on and off the keeping of command text when you press enter in the input window so that you can hit enter again to send again or modify any mistakes you made and press enter to retry, etc. The keybinding f11 still does this as well, and there is a checkbox for this functionality in Monkey Term's own options dialogue.
        • Echo is a config command that allows you to set whether the client side command echo will be on or off. For Alter Aeon,, this causes the client to use Alter Aeon's set echo on or set echo off commands in order to have this handled mud side. For Cyber Assault and Star Conquest, this causes the client to have this capability set internally when the session loads, as to the best of my knowledge these two don't have mud side commands for it like Alter Aeon does. By the way, if you don't know what command echo is, it is where the client ikeeps each command you type, allowing you to press up arrow while in the input window to go back through your history of commands, you can hit enter to re send if you want. When this is enabled however, the output window shows your commands before it shows the text that the mud returned for that command. While this isn't automatically read by MTScripts, it does produce extra verbiage when arrowing up and down the output window with screen review or JAWS cursor or WE cursor or what have you. As such, it may be desirable to turn this off. For Alter Aeon, this is probably going to be off by default if your characters are using blind mode. For Star Conquest and Cyber Assault it will be on by default.
  2. Alter Aeon changes
     1. Reworked the client side recaster yet again to fix bug that made 5400 and earlier versions try to recast the last spell you or an alias of yours typed when the mud side recaster tried and failed to put up a spell on you that was down. To clerify, Alter Aeon has added a recast command that enables players to set specific spells they want to have automatically put up once they go down. So if sanctuary falls it is possible to have the mud itself make you cast sanctuary until it goes back up. Alter Aeon calls this recasting. MTScript's as of version 5400 has the same capability of this internally, called spell manager. Our spell manager has a little more functionality than the mud side recaster. MT also has a recaster, but where the mud side recaster is about putting up spells that go down, the client side recaster is about re-attempting to cast spells that you try and fail to cast automatically. The mud side recaster does this by itself for spells that it is attempting and failing to put up, and for version 5400 and earlier will cause the client side spell recaster to duplicate the recasting attempt, but mt will type the last spell you or an alias of yours typed. As such, MT will likely make you do weird things like cast group recall when the mud side recaster just failed to cast bless on you or something. Whew, windiest changelog entry ever!
     2. Fixed bug introduced in 5400 where the player tells you !ping functionality didn't include the MTScripts version in your reply. Plus it had a bad URL to visit the website, changed it to one that would actually work if someone coppied and pasted, or clicked on it.
     3. Added in support for Alter Aeon's new version tag capability, this enables the reporting of whether the xml you have is up to date once you log into Alter Aeon.
     4. Fixed issue with space appearing in the history buffer before every player channel send and you'd hear space first when using ctrl+apostrophe to spell something
     5. Fixed nasty bug where a quote anywhere in someone's yell message would produce an error.
     6. changed the filter for in the next room you see: to nearby you see: that was to help shorten the text when looking in directions like east. They changed the first line which broke the filter, should work again.
     7. heal alias creator now can be configured to cast any spell really, heal, major heal, breath of life, cure light etc by typing cfg hcr cure light, cfg hcr breath of life etc. Thereafter every time you use hcr hm me for instance it would set the created alias's commands to cast breath of life me. Note there's no check that valid heal spells are used so it's possible to set it to do sanctuary or what ever else.
     8. new config command to automatically enable command echo so you see what you typed in the main window, and can arrow up on the edit box to select previously sent commands. cfg echo toggles this.
     9. shift+ctrl+o now lists mobs in the current room, same as typing mobs
     10. shift+ctrl+p now lists players in the current room, changed from the previously used ctrl+p for consistancy, same as typing players
     11. shift+ctrl+a tells whether all group members are in the current room, same as typing all.
     12. shift+grave accent and shift+escape no longer clear the input window, changed that to just plain escape. Escape still silences all incoming speech but it also clears the input window and says as much, which is perhaps not completely desirable but it's just a lot easier to hit escape than shift+escape.
     13. skeletal mages and lyches blasting is now gagged to cut down on spam. If the msp soundpack is on you'll still hear the sounds.
  3. Star Conquest
     1. New Star Conquest soundpack for the Squidsoft Cyber Assault MOO. Sort of similar to Miriani, so many of the sounds in the old Miriani folder are now in use by this new soundpack, plus a few that I got from the Star Conquest Vip Mud soundpack at http://randomcorner.me. Our Star Conquest pack isn't as polished yet as those others, as it has to wait for my character to grow up and get involved in the various activities long enough for me to be able to work new things in. One item that other soundpacks may not have is the constantly playing engine sound that I was one of the first to implement in Miriani back in the day. Those out there who like MTScripts now have a fledgling soundpack to work with on Star Conquest! The xml file is a copy of the original Miriani one, so if you browse around in there you might notice some things left over from it that don't work as expected for Star Conquest. This is because I hoped to just update the existing stuff rather than deleting them and then adding them back once I got to do what ever it was enough to get all the strings. I did make some effort to delete the keybindings and aliases and triggers that could send different commands to Star Conquest than what you typed on the keyboard, in order to conform with Star Conquest's rules. I don't think I missed anything, but if I did, it'll be on you users out there to not take advantage of those until I get round to fixing them.
  4. Cyber Assault changes - this is the largest Cyber Assault update yet.
     1. Dozens of preexisting sounds have been modified or updated for better quality sounds including but not limited to ambush, charge, slash, explosives, certain psionics and scavenging etc.
     2. Over 40 sounds have been added for the upcoming Halloween event. This will bog down the FMT so bear with us until after the event and we'll try to eliminate some of the burden put on the xml.
     3. New cfg track command added for autotracking. Please stay at the keyboard and monitor this if you use it as certain unforeseen obstacles can get your char stuck in one spot. Sentinel mobs and Dts may be an issue. To stop autotracking in such a scenario, use ctrl + t to set the variable to "self".
     4. Autopicking of locked doors enabled. Bumping into a door will capture the door name and set the client to pick its lock or open it accordingly.
     5. Battle sounds added for firearms. So far only shell, clip, energy and bolt weapons have been included. future updates will include fuel, rocket and area weapons. As melee damage types are so vast, it will take a while to add them but it will happen as time allows.
     6. A buff alias is added to speed up buying buff drinks from the Master Fabricator. Type buff + to buy 20 buff drinks and put them in said container. Typing buff without a container name will send an invalid command to the mud.
     7. Many new items added to the auto-get action. All ten rainbow tokens, all saber pieces and all bonus eggs added. If one walks into or through a room with one of these items, the item will be picked up and left in inventory. Saber pieces will play a short wav file as well.
  
  
  
• MTScripts v 5.4.0.0
  1. general changes made in default.mos
     1. new functions, selectionSort and selectionSort2d. These sort arrays alphabetically. Currently selectionSort2d is used to sort group members by their percentage of health on Alter Aeon (see below).
     2. new deleteFromArray function added to remove a single item at the specified index from the specified array. This works only for 1d arrays and is currently unused.
     3. searchArray function added that supports 1d or 2d arrays. Searches and returns the index on first dimension that matches the given information. We use this in Alter Aeon (see below) to find out if a player is in the group for various things like other spell monitor (osm).
     4. new function in default script getUUID generates, if not existent, or loads, if existent, a file called uuid.mts in the files directory of monkey term, this is used by alter aeon (see below) to recognize individual copies of monkeyTerm
     5. New function randomValue added to return a random whole number between the min and max value given.
     6. new sub removeVariableGroup lets you search for and remove any variable starting with specified text in their names. Works like groupEnable but to remove variables. If you specify a match for an entire variable name that'll work but you can specify any left hand portion to take anything that has that on its left end for instance Alter Aeon uses removeVariableGroup "spell manager" in config reset to clear all spell manager variables.
     7. shift+escape cleared the input box, I've wanted to be able to do that for years! Added to Default, Alter Aeon and Cyber Assault sessions.
     8. f11 toggles keeping of command text in the input box when you press enter. When this is on you can press enter to repeat a command. NVDA reads the text as it is selected when you press it though, so this is very nice to be able to quickly turn it off. Added to Default, Alter Aeon and Cyber Assault sessions
  2. Changes for Alter Aeon
     1. Using the new getUUID function, we now push the MTScripts nameTag, current version and the uuid upon login.
     2. shift+ctrl+m reports current mana using variable retrieved from the kxwt prompt
     3. Shift+ctrl+n types gc sanc to provide a very quick way to group cast sanctuary.
     4. shift+ctrl+v reports current movement using variable retrieved from the kxwt prompt
        remember, hp is already reported using ctrl+`
     5. we now automatically escape out of contexts for a few automatic activities like edit mode, when actions fire. This means that responses generated when actions fire will have the leading back slashes necessary to get them to work normally in spite of the fact that you're trying to edit a message, for instance. Spell manager, the trigger system etc should now use this. This will help prevent unintended editing in aliases, long descriptions on objects, characters, rooms, board posts, mudmails, notes etc. It probably isn't totally failsafe.
     6. escape key once again silences ongoing SAPI speech as intended, was broken with introduction of UniversalSpeech
     7. config (cfg) command updated to try and give more understandable output and be more obbvious about what things do. Reorganized the code inside it to make it easier for developers to read also.
     8. spell manager capability implemented, command added to cfg to toggle entire spell manager functionality, additionally ctrl+q, alt+q and ctrl+w are used to set which specific spells you want to be managed. Ttrl+q cycles among all the available spells supported, alt+q goes in reverse, I don't know how to prevent the client from making the ding for alt keys so we'll have to put up with it for now. Ctrl+w toggles the setting for the current item you selected with ctrl or alt +q.
     9. In the new spell manager ctrl+q and alt+q keystrokes that cycle between all available spells, the first two items allow you to set whether you want Monkey Term to try and automatically check for and put up spells that you have it set to maintain periodically, and whether you'd like to do that after a fight ends. For the latter option, it might be useful if you want to ensure spells like Sanctuary or displacement etc are up and you'd like to check immediately after each fight ends. It might also cause excessive drain on your mana too so fare warning. For both options you can choose from 0 (disabled) up to 5 maximum spells for it to try to fix each time it runs. The periodic spell fixing option should run pretty shortly after each tick marker, and will thus fix up to 5 spells each tick. I tend to have the best luck using something low like 2 for the periodic option and 1 for the fighting option. Too much and it tends to still be trying to fix spells from the previous run when a new run is called and may accidentally try to cast spells that were already successfully cast in the previous run.
     10. I made two aliases to help with the spell manager thing. checkSpells (notice no space there) is used to initialize the system to make it detect what spells you currently have, by using the affects command and updating internal variables to reflect. checkSpells is automatically used when your character logs in, when you go out of any non-standard context such as finish editing a board post or mudmail, and when you toggle the spell manager on using the cfg sm command. fixSpells (again no space in there) is what we use to check for any spells that are down and try to fix them. The automatic functionality for this uses the fixSpells alias.
     11. Since I put ctrl+w to cycle through the available options for the currently selected spell in spell manager configurator keystrokes, I'm moving the keystroke that reports how much experience was gained last kill from ctrl+w to shift+ctrl+x. I liked the idea of using ctrl+q and ctrl+w to configure spell manager, as shift+ctrl+q and shift+ctrl+w are used to configure the spell reporter, so consistancy and all that.
     12. shift+ctrl+i reports all missing spells which you have configured to be managed and that spell manager thinks are down. Only works when spell manager is enabled. This is client side code entirely so no lag.
     13. removed the self played shard storm sounds in favor of those used by the msp pack, but added the shard storm spam eliminator to filters
     14. added sounds for the new clan eldertell and clan broadcast channels
     15. the terrain sounds handled by kxwt_terrain trigger will not load and play at all if volume is set to 0 (shift+f2 until it goes silent). Might help performance.
     16. added a spell reporter gag for presence, so it plays the also new presence up and down sounds and behaves like all other spells supported by the spell reporter, as in, doesn't appear on the screen if you have that set, etc.
     17. improved efficiency of the kxwt prompt code, and added a click that plays when mana was previously under, but is now , 95 percent or above of the max.. In other words you get a click sound when your mana is full.
     18. keybinding ctrl+y uses the in-game time command with a grep to just display the time. I used Y because time is a similar type of information as the below sky keybinding, and I is used already for trip, and t for throw for that matter.
     19. kxwt time and sky triggers are supported client side, time sets a gameTime variable but is currently unused. Sky sets up some variables that the new shift+ctrl+y keybinding uses to quickly report whether you're outdoors, whether the sky is visible and whether it is overcast. This no-lag solution might be useful for druids. Think shift+ctrl+y for sky.
     20. kxwt action trigger supported client side, it sets a currentAction variable, which is used currently by the spell manager to avoid trying to recast if currentAction value is 50 or above which, according to the in-game helpfiles, will prevent the character from casting spells. Self heal and spell manager use this as well.
     21. added support for the kxwt ydeath trigger, which enables the client to know when one of your own minions dies. For now this has nearly allowed the removal of the existing reclay action and I've moved that functionality to the kxwt ydeath trigger and now use what Monkey Term calls a savefile variable to know whether you want reclay support. Speaking of which, cfg reclay is added to toggle the ability to attempt to recast your clay man if it dies on and off, which we didn't have before.
     22. self heal now uses the home command if it decides it needs to recall you. Remember to make an in-game alias to make home use word of recall or what ever alternative, such as getting and using a rune of return from your container. Especially because shift+ctrl+h keybinding also uses the home command. By default, home equates to plain old recall in the game so if you don't make an alias when it needs to type home it will just make you recall the normal way. Also, as mentioned earlier, self heal now tries to avoid making attempts to cast heal when your character is busy with things that prevent casting spells. For instance, heal touching yourself or berserking. Once these actions are complete self heal will again opperate, as such will begin casting heal again on the spot if you're still hurt.
     23. fixed bug introduced by Alter Aeon's adjustment to the way kxwt support reports group members that caused leader to not be noticed as being part of your group, as such they wouldn't be mentioned in the client side grwho command, other spell monitor (osm) wouldn't work for them and they could not opperate your triggers even if enabled. Note that group bots are still against the rules in Alter Aeon at time of this writing.
     24. kxwt_group is more heavily supported, the current and max hp of your group members is stored. The ` grave key has had its command moved to shift+` (grave) instead. I changed the plain ` (grave) keystroke to print a list of group members who's current hp is less than 80 percent of their max, sorted by percentage lowest first. This is completely client side accessing the internally stored group member information, so has no lag what so ever. Healers can use this instead of the old functionality the grave key had to more quickly get the info about group member conditions, no commands what so ever are sent to the mud when you press this.
     25. We make use of the new selectionSort2d function to sort the list of group members by percentage of hp.
     26. Hopefully updated every instance of the group checker to use a new function I made in default.mos called searchArray. Switching to a 2d array like I did to store group member's hp broke it all.
     27. added autosoulsteal toggle to the config list type cfg as to toggle it. When on, it also requires the Dread Portent spell to be up on your character. We had autosoulsteal functionality before now but you couldn't turn it off with the config command. The idea originally was just to not have the Dread Portent spell up if you didn't want to auto soulsteal. But you can now have dread portent up and avoid using auto soulsteal by turning it off in config.
  3. Cyber Assault Update
     1. Many new sounds added:
     2. Highlander sounds for prone, beheading, thunder and awakening
     3. Prospecting sounds for searching, uncovering a site, salvaging, finishing, failure to uncover
     4. weapon level and weapon remort sounds added. You will also report weapon leveling on group talk and weapon remorting on gossip. This was done because it�s easier to look back through channels to see your progress.
     5. Happy hour sound added
     6. Target arrival sound for portal, summon and pet calling
     7. Weather sounds added. Thunder and acid rain only for now
     8. Thanksgiving Turkey sounds added.
     9. sounds added for mob condition. They will play at a higher pitch depending on the health of the mob. Starting with quite a few and scaling higher to awful.
     10. Sounds added for optic blast
     11. Updates to slash, charge and mirror sounds as well as when a mob is already stunned.
     12. Player death sounds updated and two more were added to play randomly when triggered.
     13. Say and gossip channel sounds have been updated. Sound added for gemote.
     14. Sound added for injecting the drug God. More drug sounds will come at a later date
     15. Sound for gaining a level is updated and a sound for players remorting has been added. As the string isn�t player specific (global send), the sound will play when anyone progresses
     16. Bionic install sound added
     17. Rift and rift pop sounds updated
     18. Invalid entry sound added
     19. Via Virjal, Sounds added for vehicles. These are used automatically when using vehicles in-game to provide a background engine sound. To manually control them, Type engine followed by:
         slow, wait, on, go, scream (to change the pitch to various preset levels to indicate different activities), vol up, vol down (for manual volume adjustment), pitch up, pitch down (for manual pitch adjustments), cut (makes it stop immediately). off (makes it slow down and shut off).
     20. All new voice sounds. Higher quality and more mature sounding. Only one male voice so far. An option for a female voice may be set in the future if enough interest is shown by users.
     21. Voice sounds also added for things like death traps, panicked fleeing, maniac, drinking/quaffing, refreshing vitality.
     22. A few triggers have been added: You will now automatically re-stun targets during combat if stun wears off. If you hail a cab you will automatically enter the cab when it rolls up and opens its doors. Note: This runs the slim chance of entering someone else�s cab if you happen to be in the room when it arrives.
     23. Via Virjal: Automatic Log In will now fully enter you into the game when enabled in CFG.
  
  
  
• MTScripts v 5.3.6.6
  1. JAWS16 autodetect problem is now fixed.
  2. The biggest change is the switch from Screen Reader API to UniversalSpeech, Necessary in order to fix the JAWS16 autodetect issue. UniversalSpeech does not natively support directly accessing SAPI functions, so I have created a few of my own such functions in the default.mos include script found in the files folder. All xml files that were using Screen Reader API that I distributed with MTScripts have been to the best of my knowledge fully ported to use the new code in said script. I would announce all the new SAPI functions, but I tried to do a good job inserting comments into the code itself so other users could make sense out of it, so hopefully that's good enough. To look, just open default.mos in notepad or some other plain text capable editor.
  3. Soundpack updater, well, updated *smile*, to use universalSpeech instead of Screen Reader API, give a little better error messages and be clearer about the success of the update process. Also solved a crash bug.
  4. New JAWS Scripts installer home made to handle installation of the scripts that go into jaws itself. This was necessary because the installer I was using before did not work with JAWS 16. My new one of course does.
  5. Cyber Assault changes, submitted by Voytek:
     1. direction functionality for walking and driving added to numpad. Holding ctrl and using numpad will drive a vehicle.
     2. truncation added for multiple strings including recon and search.
     3. New sounds added and old sounds changed/replaced.
  6. Other Cyber Assault Changes:
     1. ported onto the new UniversalSpeech
     2. removed remnants of the primary speech selection functionality that had to be removed when first switching to Screen Reader API way back in the day.
     3. Documentation hotkey ctrl+f1 properly opens the Cyber Assault help page instead of that of the default xml. Oopsy.
  7. Bopit is updated, somehow I missed fixing it to use the new sound play functions. It works again, cheers!
  8. Blackjack's entire online related code is stripped, leaving an offline only game that I've made sure properly works.
  9. Miriani changes: Remember Miriani is not supported. I just opened it and tried to make sure I fixed a couple of major problems and was done with it.
     1. ported to the new UniversalSpeech
  10. Alter Aeon changes
      1. ported to the new UniversalSpeech
      2. fixed bug causing the group member counter brag grwho to have an incorrect count
      3. removed the date filter that removes dates of format 01/18/14, intended for mudmails, it got in the way of other things.
• MTScripts v 5.3.3.0
  1. There are a lot of little changes in Mathayas Alter Aeon that I won't be able to accurately post here because I lost my change log.
  2. We just got us a new toy! There is now a soundpack updater. The install size of MTScripts 5330 is over 110mb less than the previous version 5234, for a total of around 3.5mb. It includes just the bare minimum sounds, including those that the soundpack updater uses. At the end of the MTScripts installation process there is a new checkbox that, if checked (is by default), will have the installer run the soundpack updater when you press finish. The updater will connect to the update server and begin to fetch the latest sounds. This should allow us to roll out new sound updates between MTScripts releases that people who have auto update enabled via the new cfg update command available in cyber and alter both, (is by default), will just magically get. Use shift+escape to stop the updater. For this, absolutely colossal thanks go out to Lilmike for all the help creating and implementing this, and thanks go to Cheetah, Rhorae and Voytek for testing.
  3. when typing cfg reset we now turn logging off, fixes issues people were having with variable errors when trying to run the xml's after installing MTScripts. Applies to both Cyber and Alter. Thanks Rhorae and Lilmike
  4. cyber Assault Users rejoice! Cyber got loads of love in Cyber Assault.xml in this release. Too many changes to list really, but basically tons of new sounds, text eliminations to help with spam, a new auto track feature, multiple alt character ordering capabilities, and so much more. This work is credited almost entirely to Voytek on cyber Assault. So if you play cyber, give him a huge hug. It now supports the new soundpack updater too of course. Thanks Voytek!
  5. I know I already snuck this one into an above entry, but just to be sure, there's a new cfg update command, this toggles whether you want the soundpack updater to run each time you open the xml. This is on both Cyber and Alter.
  6. Speaking of updating, we can just type update in the input window to initiate an update check also. Again, this is for cyber and Alter both.
  7. main sound volume changes (f2 and f3) now have twice as many settings to help find a comfortable level. This applies for all xml's including default and any new ones that use MTScripts. thanks Rhorae
  8. and now for Alter Aeon related changes for this item and those that follow. the group code has been adjusted to use the kxwt group member listing support from now on to figure out who's in your group. As a result of this we no longer see ourselves when typing grwho, and maintaining the list of group members happens continuously in real time now so it should be pretty failsafe. Thanks Dentin, Lilmike, someone Lilmike summoned and Danor
  9. Speaking of the group code, we can now brag who's in our groups too, we just type brag gt grwho and substitute gt with what ever channel desired if otherwise, and the list of group members along with a count of how many there are, will be sent out onto that channel.
  10. The feature that allows others to figure out which version of MTScripts you are running on Alter Aeon by telling you !ping has been modified so that you reply via the tell command instead of using reply. Fixes issues where someone could !ping you, then a newbie could ask you a question and you would replay to see what they asked later and the !ping send from the other person previous to that would be there too causing you to type reply and supply your MTScripts version number to the unsuspecting newbie. Thanks Rhorae
  11. new show brag lag capability. We can now type show lag to get a rough idea of how much lag we have with Alter Aeon, not available in Cyber yet. And if we want to show others how much lag we have, we can type brag gt lag (substituting gt for desired channel if otherwise). Thanks Mush Z developers and users for the idea
  12. And, of course, Mathayas Alter Aeon.xml now supports the new automatic soundpack updater.
  
  
  
• MTScripts v 5.2.3.4
  This release addresses only the mud Alter Aeon. If you use an earlier version of these scripts not for Alter Aeon, it may be a good idea to avoid this update. However I believe things will still work ok for them if you're getting MTScripts for the first time. Remember, create backups before updating.
  1. A big one, it is once again possible to turn speech off. There is an option in the config menu cfg speech and the keybinding shift+ctrl+s has been added to do the same thing (Thanks Lilmike). Note that this applies to things that use the showMe and iShowMe code, notably the cfg or config command by itself to print all options does not speak when speech is disabled. Any commands that result in direct control of speech alone using say and iSay for example will still speak. A prime example of this is the history buffer navigation commands. That is pretty cool actually because it is possible to just read channel sends and have all other speech muted if you're off busy doing something else and just want to check in and see if anybody is trying to talk to you every now and then.
  2. repose now avoids making you sit up if you cast a spell from a sitting position, then go to sleep manually before repose gets around to sitting you back down. It'll now just leave you sleeping. Same the other way around, cast a spell while asleep and then type sit before it puts you back to sleep, it'll leave you resting. May fail if you're lagging too much.
  3. Fixed a bug with recast that meant when you failed to cast a spell a few times that you started casting from the sleeping position, you would go back to sleep before you got the spell cast. This fix also turned into making the spell user alias c now work for ca cas or cast. cas armor for instance.
  4. kxwt is now enabled on the login screen if auto login is used.
  5. msp is now enabled on the login screen if auto login is used.
  6. Both kxwt and msp are still enabled after login or reconnect from dropped link.
  7. Intentional logout is once again recognized on Alter Aeon so no more of this logging back in after you type quit business (thanks Cheetah, Lexie, Lilmike and about 10 other surprised Alter Aeonians who use MTScripts Haha).
  8. When the status bar isn't running for KXWT support on Alter Aeon, most of the time the version of MTScripts being used should be displayed, version is obtained using a variable which the ping action is now using too. In plain English if someone tells you !ping, the reply uses that same variable now instead of me going in and editing the command in that action.
  9. The sound for kxwt being turned on and off were removed, I miss them but this gets rid of some annoyances when logging in that may come up do to turning kxwt on twice, once at the login screen and once after login. I would like to be smart enough to not need to check if it's on after login if it is already on but I decided AA can handle the resources better than MT. The only difference you will notice is that you don't hear that squeaky sound you get when kxwt is enabled.
  10. MSP was updated to work with AA's new msp trigger structure, properly ignores the /r argument.
  11. A bunch of the non msp sound triggers I've had for years were removed to let MSP handle the job more efficiently. We should begin to see slight performance improvements because of this. But in very few cases did my removing triggers result in sounds not playing any more. You should notice only that there are a lot more sounds, and all sounds that used to be there should more or less still be there, even if it may be a different sound now.
  12. Start auction sound is now at a softer volume (thanks Lilmike).
  13. The background terrain sounds are now at a softer volume. It is still adjusted with shift+f2 and shift+f3.
  14. Recaster now fires when failing to cast a spell do to wearing negative cast ability where the player would get the message that says something about something preventing them from casting (thanks Lilmike).
  15. yells now appear in the channel history buffer (thanks Lilmike).
  16. friend posts now appear in the channel history buffer (thanks Lilmike).
  17. subgroup tells now appear in the channel history buffer (thanks Lilmike).
  18. warns now appear in the channel history buffer (thanks Lilmike).
  19. updated to the latest Alter Aeon soundpack as of November 20, 2012. With the msp soundpack and other sounds that are used besides, Mathayas Alter Aeon.xml now deals with more than 870 sounds. As a reminder please do not use any of the Alter Aeon MSP sounds for anything other then the mud Alter Aeon without permission.
  
  
  
• MTScripts v 5.1.5.4
  Changes in 5.1.5.4:
  1. Ctrl+f2, the keystroke formerly to cycle through speech output options, is removed as the new Screen Reader API makes it more difficult to do this. I'm going to see about putting it back in, but just now it's rather inconvenient.
  2. Before I forget, those who need to use no speech will have to hit f5 for the FMT, go to the top, expand "actions", expand "default", expand "speech", select output, and uncheck the "enabled" checkbox in order to stop not all but most of the speech output. I removed as much of the code as possible related to being aware of the current speech output in an attempt to bring forth performance improvements, but unfortunately this resulted in the loss of the ability to turn speech off. This oversight should be fixed in the next version.
  3. volume up down scripts changed to only have 10 different volume levels.
  4. volume up down script changed to not play the sound if the volume isn't changing. You'll still hear the xml saver kicking in, no easy way to fix that.
  5. MTScripts is now path aware. I finally figured out how to do it, and you can now install MTScripts anywhere just make sure it is in the same place monkeyTerm is. The installer will be modified so that it now asks you where to put it. Those running monkey Term under windows vista or 7 are asked to please install it somewhere in their user account's folder to eliminate the myriad of problems brought on by UAC (User Account Control). Of course, if you have UAC disabled, feel free to put it where it goes by default if you want, or on the route of your hard drive.
  6. implemented support for system access and NVDA.
  7. dlls distributed with MTScripts have changed. We now have screenreaderapi.dll, screenreaderapi.tlb, saapi32.dll and nvda-controller-client.dll and no longer distribute gwspeak.dll and jfwapi.dll. These are the new system used to communicate with screen readers. It's a new package that handles this called ScreenReaderAPI.
  8. moved the spelling functionality from xml to default.mos. In order to use, xml's must use the spell command. I'm not entirely sure I have updated all xml's to use the new code, but I'm definitely certain Mathayas Alter Aeon.xml is taking advantage of it.
  9. Hll now speaks a friendly error message if it is not populated. I have tried to make this work for all of the xml's.
  10. xml's now save when adjusting SAPI voice. I have attempted to work this into all of them.
  11. Functions used to speak are now changed slightly. Old xml's may not run properly on the new scripts. This is for slight performance improvements as well as cosmetic, code makes a little more sense now. Functions are now,
      • SISay SAPI interrupt and speak
      • SSay SAPI speak
      • say speak with currently used screen reader or SAPI as last resort
      • iSay interrupt and speak with currently used screen reader or SAPI as last resort
      • SStop stop any current speech being produced by currently used screen reader or SAPI as last resort, but not SAPI speech which is being issued explicitly, for instance by OSM other spell monitor found in Mathayas Alter Aeon.xml.
      • SAPIStop stop any SAPI Speech, explicitly started or not.
  12. removed the declaration of an array in default.mos who's purpose I have no idea of save I am sure it's not used any more.
  13. changed logIt function which is used to log text so that if logging with timestamps the timestamp prints after the log entry rather than before.
  14. A needed line of code setting the path for log files was noticed to be commented out for some reason. Fixed that so manually created log files work once again. Users of previous versions may possibly not notice this to have been a problem in the first place as I think it's most likely I did that to the latest yet unreleased version and noticed it luckily before release.
  15. added in a soundError function that is called by the play function when it encounters an error trying to play sounds with com audio. The soundError function writes the error into a file in the logs folder that is found inside the MonkeyTerm folder. The log entry will have the path and name of the file and then the timestamp. After logging, the function will try to play a new sound error.wav file located in the sounds/default folder. To summarize, if users hear a buzzer sound, they should be aware that this is an error playing a sound, and they can open the sound errors.log file to find out what it was. The log is always appended, therefore it is ok to close Monkey Term and reopen it and load the xml again as there's no concern that previous log entries will be lost. It is also safe to delete this file while the xml that seems to be writing to it is loaded. If more errors occur the file will be recreated.

      
      All changes listed below unless otherwise noted were made to Mathayas Alter Aeon.xml only

      
      

  16. Mathayas Alter Aeon.xml has been updated to run on the new default.mos.
  17. Implemented support for KXWT
  18. sped up repose by 1 second
  19. triggers improved slightly to not spam the game in certain situations.
  20. attempt to prevent the possibility of multiple copies of group members being caught in the group list when multiple changes to the group happen in rapid succession. More complex code is involved, yet though this will make the group list update slightly more slowly by intention, it should take some continuous load off the client and also it will reduce the amount of times the gr command is sent to Alter Aeon now too. Also hopefully at last it's pretty much bullet proof. Took some serious effort to finally get this fixed.
  21. new sound for friends posts
  22. changed the sound for clantell. I found the old one very annoying.
  23. improvement reporter and associated sound now work for gaining sudden incite thanks Lilmike.
  24. the waypoint change sound has been, well, changed.
  25. Mud sound protocol support for Alter Aeon is implemented and taken advantage of. Please note that all sounds in Alter Aeon MSP are not to be used anywhere besides Alter Aeon. I am very pleased to be given access to these sounds to include in my own client distribution and if I personally notice sounds somewhere besides Alter Aeon seem like the same ones from the Alter Aeon MSP pack, I WILL happily report it to the Alter Aeon staff. I have placed some sounds into the Alter Aeon MSP pack. You can contact me about specific sounds if you need to know if it came from me or from the Alter Aeon Staff. See the top of this downloads section here for this same statement written in different words.
  26. repicklocks is removed from the cfg command and the functionality is likewise no longer available as Alter Aeon's new lockpicking code is event based and automatic to begin with, making this useless.
  27. A new keyboard shortcut, ctrl+f, has been added that just types foes, which means this will tell users if anyone in their group, and in the same room with them, is being attacked by anyone.
  28. the Cure critical sound now plays properly instead of the heal sound playing for it instead sometimes.
  29. ctrl+w now also works with experience gains on dented NPCs as a result of you having killed them too often in too short a time. The error message displayed when someone presses this keystroke when they haven't killed anything yet is also improved.
  30. The regen calculator has been modified so that it works when someone using it is not regenning at all in one of their stats, or is actually negative regenning. In so doing, this fixed the possibility for the show regen command to actually display on screen instead of firing off the substitute that is supposed to hide it when the regen calculator is being used.
  31. resleep has been removed. If someone in your group yells, waking you up, you'll no longer automatically go back to sleep. I was asked to remove it because often group leaders would yell something to make the group wake up then do a groupcast while everyone was awake.
  32. Saving new changes to the xml automatically has been changed so that it is done with a delay. This will cut down on how many write operations to the disk the xml makes when cycling quickly through settings like adjusting volume. I did this to help improve responsiveness when quickly going through settings and also to try and save write operations on my netbook with it's solid sate disk. Pressing ctrl+s still works as it has done in the past, it is instantaneous. Users will notice a short two beep sound when a setting is changed, then, a time later the sound for saving the xml is heard, the same one that is heard if one actually presses ctrl+s. I have made some attempt to port this to other xml's, but I'm not quite sure I've gotten them all done. Those that haven't been changed to behave in this way will still work properly the old fashioned way.
  
  
  
• MTScripts v 4.0.4.9
  Changes in 4.0.4.9:
  1. For Mathayas Alter Aeon, fixed a typo with the string for toggling spell reporter.
  2. For Mathayas Alter Aeon, made the order functionality a little more secure.
  3. For Mathayas Alter Aeon, fixed a bug introduced with the new ground, faith shield and dread portent. Thanks Hannibal.
  4. For Mathayas Alter Aeon, the spell reporter has been modified in such a way that should hopefully improve performance, plus make it easier for contributors like Hannibal to add more spells.
  5. For Mathayas Alter Aeon, when you tried to toggle spell reporter substitutes by finding that option with shift+ctrl+q then pressing shift+ctrl+w to toggle it, the shift+ctrl+w didn't work to toggle it, printing an error instead. This has been fixed.
  6. For Mathayas Alter Aeon, the sapi5 speech interrupt on enter functionality, which was not working as expected anyway, has been removed. If I find a way to make it work without causing problems, I will put it back in. If you're stuck with SAPI, you might want to use a different client like VIP Mud.
  7. For Mathayas Alter Aeon, added a translator that will print emoticons in English word form with *symbols around them. Probably only useful in very specific cases, so it is disabled by default. It can be toggled with the cfg emoticons command. Thanks Salinar.
  8. For Mathayas Alter Aeon, improved the pose triggers, so your group members can say more things to make you sit down, etc. Note that group botting is Illegal on Alter Aeon, so take advantage of this at your own risk.
  9. For Mathayas Alter Aeon, the truncation for dexterity and strength going up has been changed. Now you'll get the Mathayas casts strength message, then you'll get Mathayas's strength increases.
  10. For Mathayas Alter Aeon, added sounds for players/NPC's joining and leaving the group. Thanks Kelsier.
  11. For Mathayas Alter Aeon, Strength up sound modified.
  12. For Mathayas Alter Aeon, Sanc down sound modified. Sounds more like the opposite of Sanc up now.
  13. For Mathayas Alter Aeon, Invisibility up sound modified. It's more like the opposite of invisibility down now.
  14. For Mathayas Alter Aeon, displace down sound should more reliably play from the same direction as displace up went. The exception is when the xml is closed, and the displace spell falls after the xml is reloaded. It will pick a direction to play the displace down sound from in that case.
  15. For all xml's running on MTScripts, removed the error message that prints when trying to play more than 64 sounds at once. The only difference this makes is when doing a replay on Alter Aeon for instance, and a whole bunch of sounds from all the different channel sends play simultaneously. Now you won't get spammed with error messages when you try that. Thanks Rhorae and Lilmike.
  Thanks go to all the contributors again. I get help from various people when I work on this stuff, and it is a pleasure to have others contributing to what I'm working on. I'm proud to name so many contributors in the change log.
  
  
• MTScripts v 4.0.2.4
  Notice: I forgot to change the version number reported by the !ping command in Mathayas Alter Aeon.xml, so be aware that version 4.0.1.5 is the same as 4.0.2.4. I don't have enough bandwidth to upload it again just to change a 4 octet number.
  Also note that all changes listed below concern Mathayas Alter Aeon.xml.
  Changes in 4.0.2.4:
  1. added an alias grlist that takes over the previous functionality of updating the list of group members
  2. added an alias grwho that prints a single line list of the group members stored in grlist, printed in literary form like this (Mathayas, Lexie and Karah).
  3. The Grwho command has been configured to allow a numerical argument after it, grwho2 for instance. Doing this will spell the name in that position in the grlist with the currently selected speech output. Thanks Cheetah
  4. Grouping and ungrouping people now runs the grlist alias
  5. the group member recognizer can now go up to 61 members instead of just 41
  6. a config command has been added, gr, that allows the player to toggle whether the group members are reported every time the group changes members. The list of group members is maintained regardless of this setting.
  7. group checker now totally ignored NPCs' in the group. That is, it doesn't add them in the list of group members that it creates and it doesn't show the status of the NPC's when it checks the gr command to find out if there are any changes in the group.
     
     All the new grouping functionality took some testing from others. Thanks go to Rain, Hannibal, Cheetah and Rayden.
     
     
  8. upgraded the order functionality to allow the player to edit the list of allowances easily via config command. Need to update documentation for this it is a little less simplistic than the other config commands are. Huuuge thanks to Hannibal.
  9. Edited the config command a lot just for wording, changed the way things are written. Looking for consistency That helps with ease of use.
  10. Modified the showMe and iShowMe functions so that they no longer occasionally just append text to the last line instead of putting it on it's own.
  11. The spell reporter for the ground spell has been fixed so that it correctly honors the spell reporter settings made with shift+ctrl+q and shift+ctrl+w. Thanks Hannibal.
  12. There is now a sound for the spell Faith shield. Thanks Hannibal.
  13. There is now a sound for the spell Dread Portance, Thanks Hannibal.
  14. There is now a sound for the spell protection from evil. Thanks Hannibal
  15. there is now a sound for the spell slow poison. Thanks Hannibal
  16. There is now a sound for receiving combat points
  17. The sound for Tensors floating disk has been removed.
  18. The truncated strings which can optionally be displayed when spells go up and down on the character have been improved slightly.
  19. A berserk keystroke, CTRL+SHIFT+B, has been added. Thanks Hannibal.
  20. A cleave keystroke, CTRL+SHIFT+L, has been added. Thanks Hannibal.
  
  
  
• MTScripts v 3.7.9.7
  Changes in 3.7.9.7:
  1. Virjal Cyber Assault and Mathayas Cyber Assault both removed and replaced with a single file for Cyber Assault that works with both builders and non builders.
  2. SAPI5 support upgraded in Cyber Assault and also the upgrade will now be included in default new files. So voices and settings of those voices can be changed.
  3. Ground up and down sounds added for Alter Aeon.
  4. Lightning bolt sound added for Alter Aeon.
  5. Regen calculator for Alter Aeon is now accurate. Thanks Lexie, Cria and Kahlan
  6. In Alter Aeon, the regen calculator can now be adjusted with the cfg rs command to send the regen status to a channel, just display, or do nothing at all.
  7. In Alter Aeon, Brag rs added to enable the user to announce time left to regen. Brag yt rs, brag tell Mathayas rs, etc. Rs is short for regen status.
  8. In Alter Aeon, ctrl+shift+e implemented to send regen status to the group you're in.
  9. In Alter Aeon, ctrl+e modified to support the new regen status calculator. End result behavior should be the same.
  10. Ctrl+f1 now leads to the correct documentation for Mathayas Alter Aeon.xml, Cyber Assault.xml, and Default.xml and consequently newly created xml's. Can't remember who reported
  11. In Alter Aeon, Bad conditions show up sooner than better conditions now when one types hpall or presses the "group condition key" now ~ grave accent. Thanks Cheetah
  12. In Alter Aeon, Group Conditions key moved from ; semi colon to ` grave accent to free up semi colon for use in stacking commands. Thanks Kahlan
  13. In Alter Aeon, underwater terrain sound added.
  14. In Alter Aeon, force terrains to play the sound for a different terrain if there isn't a sound for it yet. If you notice rapid beeping I forgot one. Contact me if this happens. Thanks Cheetah, Rayden and Enoch.
  15. In Cyber Assault, fixed the cfg reset command to disable a couple of things.
  16. In Alter Aeon, fixed ball lightning sound. It was broken by string changes in the game. Thanks Rayden
  17. In Alter Aeon, fixed issue where date gag was being a little too aggressive and hiding the wrong dates. Thanks Lilmike
  Thanks everyone. A lot of you contributed to changes made in this version. Many comments. Thanks very much. If I didn't mention you and you want notice where it's do, contact me on Alter Aeon.
  
  
• MTScripts v 3.4.4.1
  Changes in 3.4.4.1:
  1. SAPI5 support now upgraded with Mathayas Alter Aeon.xml to allow the user to change voices voice rate, and voice volume. These functions are accomplished using ctrl+- dash and ctrl+= equals, as well as shifted variation of those commands.
  2. Virjal Cyber Assault xml added for builders on Cyber Assault.
  3. Leap Attack sound added for Alter Aeon.
  4. Waypoint switch sound changed for Alter Aeon.
  5. Regen calculator changed with the Alter Aeon xml so that it now reports the time needed to regen in minutes and seconds, instead of ticks. Helpful if using event based regen.; If still using tick based regen, just try to calculate that a tick is about half a minute.
  
  
  
• MTScripts v 3.4.2.4
  Changes in 3.4.2.4:
  1. JAWS scripts have been updated.
     1. Copying of text to the clipboard is easier to listen to now
     2. Append to clipboard is now possible with alt+insert+c
     3. Help INSERT+H has been updated so for complete knowledge of how things work now check that out
  2. Mathayas Alter Aeon.xml has been updated
     1. Automatic repicking of locks has been implemented see the config command
     2. Automatic repicking of pockets has been implemented again see the config command
     3. Big one: A new channel system has been added that can store most channel sends into the history buffer without storing all the other information like the default history buffer functionality. for this to work properly the history buffer must be disabled. This system works great if enabled for users of jaws and window-eyes who can use the history buffer read commands to repeat any channel sends that they may have missed. See the config command and the help files assuming information has been added to the help file by then.
     4. config command has been updated to include all of these new options
     5. Sounds for fire shield, ice shield, and darken have been added. thanks Hannibal.
     6. A couple of possibilities for automatic rescue trigger to fail have been fixed.
     7. Heal, Sanc, Stone, Displace and Area triggers have been added. Again group bots are illegal in Alter Aeon so enable these at own risk.
  3. We now overwrite MTSettings.xml with our own copy when installing the scripts. This means when a new user first launches the client after installation, the client will immediately pop up with the recent session's list that will have entries for each xml we currently distribute. This way maybe brand new users will be less confused about how monkey term works. So many times we've had new users with problems who turned out to have opened the wrong file or who couldn't understand how to open the right file do to inconsistencies. The downside of this change is that if you use an xml that we don't distribute, it will disappear from the recent session's list after installing. That's not too bad however, as it will reappear again at the top once the user has manually opened the xml file using the open file dialogue.
  
  
  
• MTScripts v3.2.6.9
  changes in 3.2.6.9
  1. initial soundpack for Cyber Assault!
     1. No extra sounds have been added. It uses sounds from Alter Aeon and Miriani and of course from default sound archives, at least for now.
     2. It has a config command
     3. It has a help page which can be reached with ctrl+f1 when the xml is running in Monkey Term, as is the case with Mathayas Alter aeon.xml.
     4. The name of the xml for cyber assault is Mathayas Cyber Assault.xml and it is located in the files folder where the other files are.
     5. For now, type psm1 to get the prompt set up after logging into cyber Assault. I suggest enabling the battle spam filter with the "toggle fight on" command.
  2. Battle bot has been removed
  3. sg3.0 has been removed
  4. Improved the config command for Mathayas Alter Aeon.xml
  5. Increased the volume of all of the sounds and decreased the bit rate from 22050hz to 16000hz. Let me know if the quality is noticeable all that much. I still have the original sounds.
  6. waypoint changing, failure to recall and improvement sounds added to Mathayas Alter aeon.xml
  7. documentation is being moved from it's previous location to a wiki that has just been created for the purpose.
  8. Since I removed the two audio games mentioned above and decreased the quality of the sounds, the size is coming back down some. I wasn't able to handle uploading new versions that large with the kind of internet I have.
  9. ctrl+f1 in Mathayas Alter Aeon.xml now loads up the wiki page as oppose to the original help page.
  10. ctrl+f1 in default.xml or a newly created xml that hasn't been given a specific help page yet now loads up the help page from the wiki, rather than the original file.
  11. In Mathayas Alter Aeon.xml, CTRL+B (bash), CTRL+I (trip) and CTRL+K (kick) interrupt speech now when pressed.
