Moon window, other custom windows

Opened this issue · 3 comments

Matoom,

Around the time of the combat window change, it looks like dynamic windows went away. i.e. ;moonwatch on Lich used to open a Moon window which would display the current moon status.

if CharSettings['moon_window']
_respond("")
_respond("")
CharSettings['moon_window_cache'] = nil
end

That no longer happens. Is there any possibility that we could get a feature like that (dynamic windows) added back in?

@matoom Is this something you might be interested in?

I would love to help but unfortunately I don't have lich installed (and have no idea about how it works). However I can assure that one can create/delete a window on-fly via telnet interface. Not sure if it is what lich uses. If you can provide some washed-out example of what is not working I can try to reproduce it.
Take a look at this issue #101 maybe you can get some inspiration from this on how to reproduce this issue in clean form?

Thanks for reporting and it's definitely not by design.

I was actually looking into this already and apparently i managed to break this when i added character names to the titlebar by creating a conflicting parser for the "streamWindow" tag.

Fix coming in the next release.
