I upgraded directly from 3.08 to 3.10a without incident. However, I am now encountering several related crashes and bugs in the mapper/location arena.

After the upgrade, I loaded a session. It co ...

It appears to be a real failure to track. No amount of #track;#track <char> has any effect, nor does clicking in and out of the mapper window. In addition, the room number as reported by %room ...

For background on this, see Start CMUD 3.03a
Open a session in online mode, log in, all that stuff.
Step south from inn. Mapper will fail to track the move, and 's' is left on the queue. Typing #o ...

Follow ups:

Q1/2: Yay! Thanks.

Q3: I agree that, given the answers to Q1 and Q2, I won't need to make new sessions/layouts by hand anymore when installing a new version (yay!). However, I'll ...

*grumble*

And now it's not happening on mine anymore either. Happened three times in a row, now gone. A pox on all intermittent bugs.

FWIW, I have not rebooted since the bug was first discove ...

Ok...I've just gotten a new laptop (with Vista x64 Q1: Will this installation setup cause any problems? I know that the recommendation is to install with all the user files under My Documents, but th ...

While attempting to create a test case for another bug, I managed to find this one. I have crashed CMUD 3.03a three times in a row while trying to create a new map in a (new) offline session:

PROC ...

Finally made the jump from 2.x to 3.03a (sorry for the delay).

After a few teething troubles (reconfiguring mapper, getting right location tracking, etc.), I have got things more-or-less working. ...

No worries on the schedule. I'll be throwing an 11,000-room map at it whenever it's ready, so we'll see how it does. Very Happy

So, if I understand correctly, each room will now have a (string)list of keywords, and each class will have a single reference field string. When you enter a room, it will automatically enable classe ...

Two questions regarding the new reference fields (which sounds like a great idea):

1) Will the reference field be a single value, or a list? (for a list, think of a 'shops' class that I want to li ...

I have been playing around 6-8 hours with 2.23, and I am happy to report that I have not found any serious NEW problems. The only real goofiness that I found turned out to be related to a duplicated ...

I'll agree with the majority here - I would far rather see the mapper improved and upgraded before the MyMuds website. I have put myself out (on my MUD) as the local CMUD guru. Easily 2/3 of the ques ...

I'm not a beta user, I found a bug, where do I report it?
Usually in the CMUD General Discussion forum. It's perfectly appropriate to post bugs found in the latest public version there. However, I' ...

Many apologies. The proper syntax is:
#DEBUGFILE "C:\temp\cmud_raw.txt" "C:\temp\cmud_debug.txt" // start capturing raw and debug i/o
// Do some things
#DEBUGFILE // st ...

There are two reasons that I want the #DEBUGFILE output:
To see if there is anything obvious in the set of ansi and/or MXP color info coming from the MUD that might contribute to this problem. For i ...

#SAY sometimes allows you to get away with not grouping the arguments properly, but, when in doubt, call it with one arg.
#al Pcolor {
#say {Pcolor1: <color @Pcolor1>@Pcolor1< ...

The MUD appears to be relying on colors bleeding from one line to another. It's hard to see in your screenie, but it looks like the combat messages are in bright white. However, after your trigger f ...

Fang, the '?' in '#var damagetypes ""

Ah, OK, so you are saying that the DEVASTATES is colored red BEFORE the trigger acts on it and the following lines should also be colored where it says, "DISMEMBERS, MANGLES etc"?
At the very least, ...

Fang's regex trigger pattern above is:
You pierce [^.]+(into bloody fragments|extremely hard|very hard|hard)?[.!]
The 'You pierce [^.]+?(into bloody fragments|ext ...

I will heartily second (third?) the comments about the DB variable saving - silent loss of data is always a Bad Thing. This would be priority #1 IMHO.

Priority #2 would be the %subregex fix (also ...

I'll throw my $0.02 in as well....the #WAITxxx commands should NOT abort, exit, or anything else by default.

My reasoning is simple, and has already been explained by Fang.
If a coder wants to e ...

Rather than stuffing these strings into the substitution, why not return them through additional arguments to the %subregex function? By that I mean, allow a call like:
$newStr = %subregex($stri ...

If you close it properly, yes, it will only color the part you indicate.
