 |

Give your mud VT100/102 + ANSI Keyboard Command Support
A Snippet for Any Old Mud by Locke
The snippet is written for Diku/Merc
In your read_from_descriptor() from comm.c:
| Code: |
#if defined(MSDOS) || defined(unix)
for ( ; ; )
{
int nRead; /* # of bytes read */
/*
* use read() to read from the connection into the inbuf,
* writing onto the end of inbuf.
*/
nRead = read( d->connection, d->inbuf + iStart,
sizeof(d->inbuf) - 10 - iStart );
if ( nRead > 0 ) /* a buffer is found */
{
iStart += nRead; /* advance iStart to "new inbuf length" */
if ( d->inbuf[iStart-1] == '\n' || d->inbuf[iStart-1] == '\r' )
break;
//--------------> INSERT CODE BELOW HERE
/*
* VT100/102+ANSI keyboard code support - by Locke of NiMUD
* Requires 'character mode' telnet option to be set on
*/
if ( d->inbuf[(iStart-nRead)]=='\e'
&& d->inbuf[(iStart-nRead)+1]=='[' && nRead>2 )
{
int i=iStart-nRead;
char akey[5];
akey[0] = '\e';
akey[1] = '[';
akey[2] = d->inbuf[i+2];
akey[3] = d->inbuf[i+3] != '~' ? '\0' : '~';
akey[4] = '\0';
if ( d->inbuf[i+3] == '~' ) i+=4;
else i+=3;
if ( d->character ) interpret( d->character, akey );
/*
* Insert spaces in place of code
*/
for ( i=iStart-nRead; i<iStart+nRead; i++ ) d->inbuf[i] = ' ';
}
//----------------------> INSERT SNIPPET COMPLETE
}
|
Then, in your interpret() add the keyboard mappings, right after
implementing the Freeze command in interp.c:
| Code: |
/* Active telnet mode numeric keypad support.
* by Locke; must 'set active' to use, otherwise
* user must hit return between each keypress.
*/
if ( !str_cmp( argument, "[A" ) /* UP arrow */
|| !str_cmp( argument, "\e[A" ) ) { cmd_north( ch, "" ); return; }
if ( !str_cmp( argument, "[B" ) /* DOWN arrow */
|| !str_cmp( argument, "\e[B" ) ) { cmd_south( ch, "" ); return; }
if ( !str_cmp( argument, "[C" ) /* RIGHT arrow */
|| !str_cmp( argument, "\e[C" ) ) { cmd_east ( ch, "" ); return; }
if ( !str_cmp( argument, "[D" ) /* LEFT arrow */
|| !str_cmp( argument, "\e[D" ) ) { cmd_west ( ch, "" ); return; }
if ( !str_cmp( argument, "[G" ) /* Numpad Center or 5 */
|| !str_cmp( argument, "\e[G" ) ) { if ( ch->position != POS_SLEEPING )
cmd_sleep( ch, "" ); else
cmd_stand( ch, "" ); return; }
if ( !str_cmp( argument, "[1~" ) /* HOME */
|| !str_cmp( argument, "\e[1~" ) ) { cmd_nw( ch, "" ); return; }
if ( !str_cmp( argument, "[2~" ) /* INSERT */
|| !str_cmp( argument, "\e[2~" ) ){ cmd_home( ch, "" ); return; }
if ( !str_cmp( argument, "[3~" ) /* DELETE */
|| !str_cmp( argument, "\e[3~" ) ){
PROP_DATA *prop1 = get_eq_char( ch, WEAR_HOLD_1 );
PROP_DATA *prop2 = get_eq_char( ch, WEAR_HOLD_2 );
prop1 = prop1 ? prop1 : get_eq_char( ch, WEAR_WIELD_1 );
prop2 = prop2 ? prop2 : get_eq_char( ch, WEAR_WIELD_2 );
if ( (prop1 && IS_SET(prop1->wear_flags, ITEM_WEAR_BELT))
|| (prop2 && IS_SET(prop2->wear_flags, ITEM_WEAR_BELT)) )
cmd_sheath( ch, "" );
else cmd_draw( ch, "" ); return;
}
if ( !str_cmp( argument, "[4~" ) /* END */
|| !str_cmp( argument, "\e[4~" ) ){ cmd_sw( ch, "" ); return; }
if ( !str_cmp( argument, "[5~" ) /* Page Up */
|| !str_cmp( argument, "\e[5~" ) ){ cmd_ne( ch, "" ); return; }
if ( !str_cmp( argument, "[6~" ) /* Page Down */
|| !str_cmp( argument, "\e[6~" ) ){ cmd_se( ch, "" ); return; }
/*
* You must step ahead of "buffered" keystrokes in active telnet mode.
*/
while ( *argument == '\e' ) {
argument++;
if ( *argument == 'A' || *argument == 'B'
|| *argument == 'C' || *argument == 'D'
|| *argument == 'E' || *argument == 'F'
|| *argument == 'G' || *argument == '0'
|| *argument == '1' || *argument == '2'
|| *argument == '3' || *argument == '4'
|| *argument == '5' || *argument == '6'
|| *argument == '7' || *argument == '8'
|| *argument == '9' ) argument++;
if ( *argument == '~' ) argument++;
}
while ( *argument == '[' ) {
argument++;
if ( *argument == 'A' || *argument == 'B'
|| *argument == 'C' || *argument == 'D'
|| *argument == 'E' || *argument == 'F'
|| *argument == 'G' || *argument == '0'
|| *argument == '1' || *argument == '2'
|| *argument == '3' || *argument == '4'
|| *argument == '5' || *argument == '6'
|| *argument == '7' || *argument == '8'
|| *argument == '9' ) argument++;
if ( *argument == '~' ) argument++;
}

---------
To activate character mode,
You will have to set your telnet with Ctrl-] and then (for windows)
type "mode character", unless you employ this code, which requests
character mode from the client:
?
You should turn on local echo to go along with this feature,
or add these lines:
| Code: |
#define ECHO_ON_STR '\'
#define CHARACTER_MODE_STRING '\'
if ( IS_SET(d->character->act2, PLR_CHARACTER) ) {
write_to_buffer( ECHO_ON_STR, d );
write_to_buffer( CHARACTER_MODE_STRING, d );
}
To new_descriptor():
|
It's good not to add that support, but instead instruct the user to
do so to allow connections from the widest number of possible
telnet applications. You should have the user toggle this option
so that the code for automatically switching to CHARACTER_MODE and
activating echo are handled during login after the MOTD in nanny.c
Then have them type 'set active' or 'config +active' or whatever to
activate this feature.

| Code: |
KEYBOARD (General)
Keyboard controls. For most telnet applications, hitting an arrow
key, or numeric keypad key, will generate an ANSI terminal code.
This works in both VT100/102 and ANSI telnet applications.
Here are the mud's default keyboard mappings:
_________________________
| HOME | UP | PGUP | INS |
| nw |north| ne |home |
|______|_____|______|_____|
| <- | 5| -> | DEL |
| west |sleep| east |draw |
|______|_____|______|_____|
| END | DOWN| PGDN |
| sw |south| se |
|______|_____|______|
It is of note that on most telnet applications, you must set the
mode to character, but in doing so, remember that these commands
can be tried by just hitting "enter" between keystrokes before
switching to Character telnet mode.
The INSERT and DELETE keys are mapped "recall" and "draw/sheath"
respectively.
Hitting "CENTER" or "Numpad-5" results in "stand/sleep"
Example:
Line-mode:
Try <home>+<enter> in your favorite telnet application
Character-mode:
Just press a key.
