Help for Pueblo


Ok. This is for all those like myself who have decided to use pueblo instead of MudMaster and Zmud like everyone else on med and have found that it's annoying because of the lack of triggers and such. Well, if you know how to do it, you can have triggers just like those other people (cept like id scrips and trading scripts, still working on making up some that work right, hopefully I'll have them soon). First off, in the prefferences section, there's a tab where you can set a txt file for text input. Now, this is how you get your triggers and aliases set for you. First thing you need to do is open up your notepad and name it whatever you want it to be named so it can be set for text input later. This will be the list of aliases and such. The first line you need on this is just #, nothing else. # sets your pueblo to verbatim so the triggers and stuff will work. Now what you need to do is figure out what you want your triggers for and such. Triggers are done using the #action command. the #action command is talked about in the help for pueblo (go to help, index, type in tintin) You can have multiple actions for each trigger.

example of an anti-whisk trigger:
#action {You have been idle, and are pulled into a void.}{say eep ; shiver}

result:
You have been idle, and are pulled into a void.
You say, 'eep'.
You shiver from the cold.

The major problem I've come in with the #action command tho is you can't get it to recognize colors. Now, explination on what these do.
#action is what tells pueblo to look for a word or phrase you set
the first set of {} contains the word of phrase that triggers something
the second set of {} contains the list of actions preformed when the word or phrase in the first set of {} appears

Ok, now that you've got the triggers, lets move to the easier one, aliases. Aliases are a bit easier to do. All you have to do is #alias {what you want to type}{what you want to happen} Lets say you want to alias casting sanctuary then resting, here's how it would look

#alias {sanc}{c sanctuary me ; rest}

It's that easy.

One main problem with having everything in verbatim tho is while verbatim is on, pueblo automatically has speadwalk set to on, which for thieves who use the shortcut sn or when there's news you want to read, can make things annoying when you type sn and you've just moved north then south and still aren't sneaking or you type news to read the news and go in all 4 directions. Her's how to solve that problem. go back to that file you made in notepad and for the second line, have the line
#speedwalk
It's that simple. Now you won't have to worry about going every which way from sunday when all you want to do is read about a new zone or change in medievia.

Ok, you're probably asking yourself 'What was the point in making this stupid file? I haven't done anything with it.' Well, here's your answer. Save the txt file as anything you want, just remember the name and location of the file. Now go into pueblo and click on edit, then down to prefferences. It should bring up a little window with some tabs at the top. Click on the Text Input tab, then on the button where you can put in a file, hunt down the txt file you made, and bingo, it's set. Now shut down pueblo and start it back up and you now have a set of triggers and actions. And, if at any time you no longer need a trigger for something or want a new alias, all you have to do is go into that file and add or delete whatever you need. Just remember that for any changes to that file to take affect, you have to start pueblo new after the changes have been saved. I hope this helps at least a little.

NOTE: be sure to use the curvey brackets for everything
