No, I mean to get the OnEvent CSM commands to go to the chat window, so that the CSM will then see them while it checks the logs.

From what I understand the commands work with marcros, but not with the OnEvent scrips.

Ah, I think someone is asking Aden to have it check for /ignore error messages, since those can be logged and won't spam any channels.

Aden is adding support for configurable triggers, so we can use anything to send the messages to CSM.

beta version 2

The modifications to the CSM for this custom UI interface are complete. Check the 2.5.2 release notes.

Also, since the program has changed since you wrote the interface, there are some items you need to add to make it really cool. Email me at [email protected] and we can go over them.

csm 2.5.5 and betz 2 on ui, not workin for me on 8/1, didnt see any patch notes on login.

chat triggers
"/csm play" - doesnt work at all
"/csm play " - does work
"/csm play blah" - works great, can we get it to check id3 tags for this part to?

"/csm skip" - does nothing can we get a previous too?
"/csm unpause" - does nothing

and I was also looking into the /beginchatinput, but it makes me CTD on everything I try. I dont entirely understand the correct format for the onpress event would

beginchatinput=(/csm play) beginchatinput=(/csm play) be correct?

from playing with /beginchatinput ingame, it needs an extra return, but i dont even get "/csm play" into the inputbox.

something else I tried, puttin the mp3 buttons into the chat window, and using Parent.ChatInput.Text=/csm play
also never put anything into the chatbox, i tried .Activate, .Enable the chatbox also

*edit
ok i got
beginchatinput="/csm play" beginchatinput="/csm play "
to populate the mainchat text box, but I have to manually hit enter to make the command happen.

Well I got sick of trying to make the damn buttons work as well at one stage I had 5 buttons all with variations of the same command... result was either nothing at all or the unknown command error (that looked promising) but the player still did not trigger

[Kromulis]

Any chance on getting this to work with the latest version of CSM?

This is a complete side note, but..anyone else not able to update CSM via autoupdate and/or not seeing their site? I go there now and see a blank page.

Oh, and as a developmental note: I'm not really into XML or UI modding or whatever, but.. had anyone thought to look at the onpress commands for the socials UI window for inspiration?

What I mean is: Do the onclicks for emote icons in the socials window cause you to just plain do the action, or does it actually type /dance or /wave or whatever into your chat for you behind the scenes (like inputting it directly to the server)? If it does the latter, you could theoretically duplicate the code and have your own UI buttons type stuff like /csm play, right? Unless that one issue before of not having spaces applies here somehow, too.

Again, not a programmer really (took one VB and one C++ class), but it would seem to make sense. I wouldn't know where to look in the XML files, so I couldn't look at this myself. *shrug*
