KildClient

I've run into an issue in a MUD that has me spammed by unwanted messages. By the time this topic receives an answer the MUD's staff will most likely have solved the issue, but I ask anyway because I find it an interesting technical question. I have already defined regular expressions for the first a...

Argh, thanks! I really should have searched the word "alias" on the "$world reference" page.

I understand that it's its intended behavior, but $world->send not running what it sends through the aliases engine makes it a nightmare for me to develop a script I need.
Is there an alternative way to do it that I missed in the documentation?

The channels plugin doesn't scroll down when its associated screen is full. It's certainly a behavior nobody would want, so I have to suppose it's a bug.

Actually, I was wrong, the issue didn't go away, it took longer to manifest itself. After some research, I found it reported on Debian bug report log (that, for some reason, seems to be blacklisted by the forum) under number #772096. It's an issue with GTK+, it would seem. Some workarounds are offer...

Okay, I've got something new. I removed (actually, moved) my .kildclient config directory and started afresh: the problem disappeared. So obviously it's an issue about my configuration.

I'll run some tests now and then to find out where it all comes from.

KildClient has been my favorite (well, only) MUD client for years, in fact from the very beginning of my playing MUDs. I picked it because I'm well-learned in Perl, which makes me feel empowered for handling aliases, macros, triggers, etc. But now I'm frustrated, because the output area goes weird a...
