hello mushclient gurus! It has been some time I last time bugged you guys, but now I have problem again which I cant solve myself. In mud I play we have parties up to nine people, all vital information of party members is in party status. Now to avoid getting anyone killed it needs constant (read. every battle round) using of party status, which looks like this -->

,-----------------------------------------------------------------------------.
| 1.1 Player1 fol 1019(1134) 579( 609) 409(409) | 80 | 177007 |
| 1.2 Player2 fol 1561(1642) 48( 48) 403(403) | 75 | 172892 |
| 1.3 Player3 fol 1133(1215) 834( 834) 388(389) | 72 | 167675 |
| 2.1 Player4 fol 861( 861) 1177(1469) 269(270) | 84 | 182209 |
| 2.2 Player5 fol 1141(1149) 1570(1570) 288(288) | 85 | 186375 |
| 2.3 Player6 fol 1146(1154) 1105(1128) 496(496) | 95 | 193867 |
| 3.1 Player7 fol 1133(1131) 762(1260) 298(298) | 90 | 82242 |
| 3.2 Player8 ldr 963( 975) 1163(1356) 365(351) | 80 | 243222 |
| 3.3 Player9 fol 912( 921) 1271(1515) 266(266) | 80 | 74074 |
`-----------------------------------------------------------------------------'
As you can see doing this every round in big party, it spams screen full in no time and following other happenings in battle becomes really hard. Now what I wish to do is get all needed infos into statusbar and simply gag party status from mud.

(needed more space to write whole thing =))
in line | 1.1 Player1 fol 1019(1134) 579( 609) 409(409) | 80 | 177007 |
theres 1.1 as party position (1st place in 1st row), then comes player name. Then theres members current status, which can be fol = following, mbr = member but not present atm etc.Then come currenthp(maxhps) currentsps(maxsps) current eps(maxeps), player level (80 here) and gained experience in party. Now what I need from party status is place,name,hp/maxhp and sp/maxsp. If theres only someway to put those into statusbar looking something like following -->

Player1 1019(1134) 579( 609) | player2 1561(1642) 48( 48) | Player3 1133(1215) 834( 834) and under those second row and then third.
in short:
player1 | player2 | player3
player4 | player5 | player6
player7 | player8 | player9

ok, there was it =). Of course theres some more minor tweakings I could think to put in, but I think I can handle those after I get basics to work with status bar. I know theres those plugin for statusbar but those just say how to use healts bars etc. which I dont like to use myself, just plain numbers. over and out!

My first comment is that, if you used a notepad window, and replaced it each time with the new statuses, and resized it so it was visible while you played, that might do the trick.
