GMCP - updates while moving

Aeldra

Hey,

so, when following someone, I do notice that I don't get any gmcp updates on the room I moved in. Is there any way to manually request the gmcp updates you would normally receive information about the room with? I've played around a little, but couldn't find anything that works.

edit: As Synkarin answered, I realized my question was probably not specific enough, so here an update:

I'm actually looking to receive updates from the contents of the rooms I follow people through, meaning gmcp.Char.Items.List with location="room". Those I do not seem to be receiving. I only receive the list once I manually 'look'.

Thanks

Synkarin

Oh no, I don't think I'm getting that, I'm just getting the Room info. 

As far as stuff in the room, does looking not work?

Yeah, I think you'll have to QL; I've never found a better way through GMCP. Though, something I recently happened upon was that sending the command "kill" or "k" without a target will return a list of bashable mobs in the room. Maybe that suits your purpose? Dunno if it works when following players, but I would assume so!

Edit: Still won't be as silent as GMCP, but easier to gag and more concise than the QL spam.

Sending Char.Items.Room to the server updates Char.Items.List through gmcp. Took me some fiddling but I found it.

Synkarin

You should be getting updates I believe. 

I know my mapper keeps up when I follow people and it uses gmcp to keep me centered.

Aeldra

oh my ... I wasn't being specific enough, sorry about that. Will be amend my question to make it clearer.

@Synkarin are you getting gmcp.Char.Items.List events? or the Add / Update / Remove variants ? Because I don't seem to be getting them.

Looking would work yes. I just had hoped there would be a way to request the information through gmcp, as there's ways to request the items in your inventory through gmcp and in containers at least. If I have to, I can gag the look info, but I'd rather not.
