[1.24] commenting out lines
|
Tried commenting out the line with #SPEAK since mudreader plugin is yet unsupported.
| Code: |
#IF ((@hp<@hpmax-10) AND (@alerthp = 0)) {
#SPEAK "green alert"
#VAR alerthp 1
} |
Is cmud supposed to be so picky about comment placement?
Gives unmatched braces with both
// #SPEAK "green alert"
and
; #SPEAK "green alert"
Has to have two spaces and // to compile
| Code: |
#IF ((@hp<@hpmax-10) AND (@alerthp = 0)) {
//#SPEAK "green alert"
#VAR alerthp 1
} |
On unrelated to comments note, could you please improve interface regarding which scripts have been successfully compiled? Currently it's pretty messy, I haven't found any obvious way to tell which ones are working, I have to click on the trigger and then press CTRL-K. |

You need to run the compatibility report. That will tell you if a script compiled or not. It runs through and lists if everything compiled or not. Also you can click on the compiled tab at the bottom of the trigger window.
Yes comments are still a little quirky with some things. But you also now have a much larger notes field than you had in Zmud.
And finally this is the general discussion board mainly meant for asking questions and posting comments. If you want to ask Zugg for something new or tell him about something being broken that is still meant for the cMud beta forum or failing that you can send a comment via cMud or an email to support. Zugg is currently taking a much deserved Vacation. He may pop in for the first few days but he most likely wont be doing any coding until after the new year. |

You need to put a space after the // characters for it to work as a comment.

That is not what I am getting with 1.24. I need spaces before // characters, not after, as many as there is indentation for the block.
For example, simple alias test.
this will work and output success on screen.
| Code: |
#IF (1) {
//#SPEAK success
#ECHO success
} |
These will generate ERROR: Syntax error in Alias: test : unmatched braces
| Code: |
#IF (1) {
// #SPEAK success
#ECHO success
} |
| Code: |
#IF (1) {
; #SPEAK success
#ECHO success
} |
| Code: |
#IF (1) {
// #SPEAK success
#ECHO success
} |
Also, I think I mentioned it in some other topic, but i'd really like to see an option for unrecognized #COMMANDS to be ignored. If I am using #COMMANDS from some plugin and that plugin isn't loaded, in zmud that's no problem but in cmud those scripts stop compiling and come to a screeching halt. |

That is intentional, per the multiline rules. Anything within a codeblock needs to adhere to the proper indentation rules.

I hope it's not intentional, and if it is I ask to reconsider. Very counter-intuitive. I'd rather have looser syntax like zmud so I can write a script, hit compile and forget it rather than fiddle figuring where I need spaces for it to work.

Well the thinking on it was to make it more like an acutal programming language. Making it more strict, and better looking all at once is just a bonus for everyone.

How many languages do you know that require comment sign to use indentation or it won't work? Maybe I've been using the wrong languages, the ones I've been using I can drop // or # or whatever at start of line and it will work 
I don't think everyone will think of forcefully enforcing indentation as a bonus. |
