Mud Master Script Editor
MM Edit is a little app for writing scripts for Mud Master. MM Edit is in Beta and is yet unfinished and definitely not free of bugs. If you choose to use MM Edit, you do so willingly and you accept all risks and damages that may occur from using this application.
NOTE: MM Edit is basically "finished". Although I may continue to post updates, I no longer plan to work on it to any great extent.
Some of the features in MM Edit:
Colored Text
MM Edit will color, on the fly (as you type), particular strings to help visually denote key parts of your script. The colors can be defined so you can choose whatever color setup you like.
Colorize Existing Scripts
You can add color to an existing script file that wasn't written with MM Edit.
Script Compiler
You can write scripts in "code" style, then compile them.
Command|Procedure|Other - insertion/help
You can edit and add/remove/modify items that are placed in a list. Then insert these items into your script, and/or call up help about each item that is in the list.
Asc/Chr Tool
A simple tool to show you the Ascii value of a given character, or show the character of a given Ascii value.
Ansi Proc inserter
Tired of endlessly typing ansi proc strings into your display showmes? Just click a button to insert them.
Bracer Matching
Find matching (or missing) bracers.
Bookmark
Tired of scrolling around a big script, only to lose where you were last editing? Simply set a bookmark to easily return to where you left off.
Beta Release
If you'd like to fiddle around with MM Edit then feel free to do so. It is in "Beta", and is yet unfinished. To install just unzip it and put it in some directory somewhere and run it. (Please READ the Install doc, and I recommend looking at the Changes doc)
If you want to save a colorized file, save it as an *.RTF file. If you want to use it as a script file, save it as plain text (removes all rtf info).
Main Application:
Latest version: v1.1.5 - 23 Oct 04
Download the Beta ~97k
MM Edit Manual v1.3 - ~177k
Download the manual
The manual is in html format, and uses (very basic) java scripts (for hyperlink styles).
Unzip this where ever you'd like. It will create two subdirectories with additional htm pages and images. In the root directory will be a file called "MM Edit Manual.htm". Open up that file with your web browser, should be a no-brainer after that.
Please post comments/suggestions/problems on the Mud Master forum, in the MM Console Board.
Missing the OCX File(s)? Get um here (650k zip). Files included are: comdlg32.ocx, mscomctl.ocx, and richtx32.ocx Just toss them into your Windows/System (or /system32) dir.
I've updated the ocx files. They're all the latest versions, as far as I'm aware (modified 5/22/2000). You might check your's to see if they're as current as these.
Getting this error: Component MSCOMCTL.OCX or one of its dependencies not currently registered ...?
This is sort of common, and thanks to Trikal for putting up with me as I tried to get him/her up and running..
Anyway do these steps to fix the problem (problem is, the file isn't registered with your system).
1. Make sure that the file MSCOMCTL.OCX is in your Windows\System directory.
2. Click the Start button.
3. Click "Run".
4. Type in: REGSVR32 \windows\system\MSCOMCTL.OCX
(if using the system32 dir, replace "system" with "system32")
5. Click Ok.
Try running MM Edit after that!

By the way, MM Edit was written in VB6.
