Hi

All this afternoon I've been working on a new last 10 callers script in
LUA.

Doing this script required adding a disconnect hook so now every time a
user disconnects, disconnect.lua in your scripts folder will be called if
it exists. If it doesn't, nothing different happens.

The last10 caller script is made up of a last10.lua script that displays
the last 10 callers and a bunch of hook scripts that feed it data.

The most important of the hook scripts is the last10_logout.lua script
which needs to be called from disconnect.lua, and the
last10_loginhook.lua that needs to be called from the login_stanza.lua
(up the top).

The other hook scripts can be chained to menus items, for example to
record the usage of a door, say, for honour, your menu file would have an
entry similar to this:

HOTKEY 1
COMMAND RUNDOOR
DATA ForHonour
COMMAND DOSCRIPT
DATA last10_doorhook

That makes it run the door, then immediately after run the script to
record the door usage.

There is also one for upload, download and message posts, which can also
be chained to menu commands. They're not 100% accurate obviously if a
user cancels a download it will still record a download.

All these scripts are in the MagickaScripts repo now, but you can see it
in action on HappyLand.

PS. It's design was stolen from zLastCallers on Netsurge's Hysteria BBS.
PPS. That's all the updates for today, I'm exhausted.
