Hmm...it's a vague bug, you know. If I knew what was causing it, I could probably fix it. I don't know what that parse error means. I thought maybe someone did. I was very specific. I query the DB, th ...

I get this error a lot when I try to run a script that access the DB:

Parse error:
Control "" has no parent window.

After I receive this error, the DB freezes. To actually close it, I have to s ...

I created a new character on my mud. So, now I have two characters on the same mud. However, when I tried to log in with the origional character, it kept logging in the new one, even though the Charac ...

I use a room script for knocking on gates.

Place this script on either side of the gate in the room script tab of the Room Properties window:

#ALIAS {e} {knock on gate;east}

On the other side ...

Yikes, forgot the comma! How many scripts have I pulled my hair out over because of a comma!

Now I just have to figure out how to get this to add items to the room contents without creating duplica ...

Thanks. I got it to work with this:

#CALL %roomcontents(%roomnum,128he)

The help file for %roomcontents states that if vNum is omitted, 128he will be added to the current room. It doesn't appear ...

I can't get contents added to a room in the mapper without manually clicking the Add Item to Room button in the database window--so I'm not able to use this function in any script.

I've tried to un ...

Why would you want them removed? What if you're trying to write a message and have characters in it that Zmud thinks are commands? Like a line that starts with:

Value = 3

I think that's a shortc ...

Actually, I should have given you more information. But it's right there in the Strings and Doors window as well.

If you have "open %1" in the door string, when you encounter a door, Zmud will send ...

Here's an idea I just came up with. Make a trigger that saves the reverse of the last direction you've traveled. Then use that other trigger above as well to move the mapper back.

#ONINPUT {^(%w)$} ...

Yes, if you're using a string list variable in your trigger's pattern, you need to surround it with {} to make it expand.

#NODIR clears the mapper queue in map mode. I don't think it does much in follow mode.

you'll have to set up some kind of trigger to move the mapper back. Of course, you also have to know which way ...

Click edit in the map window. Click Map Properties. Click Strings and Doors. Remove the string it's sending when you encounter a door (probably "open %2").

Here's an improved version of the above script. It does the same thing without creating a new trigger for each string highlighted, since that was completely unnecessary.

#CLASS {Highlight ...

Why don't you use:

#ADDITEM friends {John}

Also, I think your trigger should be:

#TR {{@friends}} {#CW green}

Or, just use the highlighter script I posted in the Finished Scripts section a ...

I did some further testing on the second problem of truncating the first character of a new line. This happens when you use two Ctrl+Enter line breaks in a row (to add a blank line between paragraphs) ...

Is there a maximun number of characters you can enter into the command line before entering a line break character (Ctrl+Enter)? And if so, can it be changed? If a line is too long, I just get a beep ...

This is a quick way to highlight text. Say you're looking for an object and have to run around a lot to find it. Just enter it into the highlighter and you'll see it right away. I find new uses for it ...

This script simply keeps track of all of your vitals.
It updates each time you type h or v.
It will display six gauges at the top of your mud window:
Alignment, Progress, Health, Mana, Encumbrance ...

Hmm...except #MOVE doesn't work with portal exits, like "out" "enter" etc.

#TRIGGER {@team_leader leaves (%w)} {#MOVE %1}

This seems to do the same thing as the other trigger, except it also loads the room script.

The docs have a very useful trigger that I use all the time:

#TRIGGER {@team_leader leaves (%w)} {#MAP %1}

However, moving about the map by using #MAP doesn't load the room scripts in the rooms ...

This is a little script that counts your coins on a tweleve based number system. It helps when you just have a brain freeze and can't figure out how many plat 34,072 silver might be. The coins in Gene ...

This is a little script that allows you to get whatever you want
from a pile of corpses, simply by counting them. The problem with
doing something like this in Genesis is that you need a way to

It seems the container scripts posted here are pretty MUD specific.
Here's one I use on Genesis. It's a bit different than all the
ones previously posted. To be more specific:
