The way high scores are displayed has changed, but otherwise the script is pretty much the same. And here it is at last… Lots of things to set up. I also went totally overboard and made everything match right down to the proper ANSI code before it would capture.

What this script does:

• Enables you to play Fnargh with your mouse only. Yay!

• Lets you play Fnargh faster than anyone who doesn’t have a script. Yay!

• Lets you “hold” dice of a certain value and reroll the rest in a single click.

• Keeps track of the categories which remain to be scored.

What this script does not do:

• Does NOT have a single-click function to reroll for small/large straights. Sorry, this would have taken too much brain time.

• Does NOT capture scored categories from the scorecard. This means that if you start playing a game without the script, and halfway through, you want to start using the script, it’s NOT going to automagically press all the already-scored categories down for you and let you resume where you left off. Same goes if you close the window in the middle of a game and then want to continue the same game. Frig. I thought about doing this but it was just too much trouble. (If you really want to resume, just manually press all the completed categories and let those error messages go off. :P)

Anyway, here goes.

1. Place this trigger anywhere in your MUD settings (where it will already be enabled when you want to play Fnargh). It will open the Fnargh window when you hold your game. (It also creates a global variable which is my cheating way to communicate between the two windows. :P)

#TRIGGER {^You hold {the|an ethereal} game of Fnargh in your %w hand.$} {#T+ Fnargh;#GVAR fnarghrerollnumbers {} {};#WIN Fnargh}

(where “;” is the command stacking character)

2. Create a new class called “Fnargh” in your main MUD settings. Copy the entire text into the class settings from this link: http://annwn.info/file/1986

3. Create a new window called “Fnargh”. You can do this by entering “#WIN Fnargh”. Create a class called “Fnargh” IN THE NEW WINDOW (settings will be placed in Fnargh.mud). Copy the entire text into the class settings from this link: http://annwn.info/file/1987

Settings —> Save As… “Fnargh.mud”.

NOTE: I have referred to the main MUD window as “MateriaMagica”. YOUR main window may be called something else. You should use a replace function and change all instances of “:MateriaMagica:” to “:whatever_your_main_window_is_called:”.

Final note: If your tab settings are anything like mine, your Fnargh window probably won’t open in the right place every time. :P Grab the Fnargh tab and, while holding down the ALT key, drag it to dock on the side. Resize as needed. Now you can see your MUD go by as well as play Fnargh. Yay!

Let me know if I missed anything…
