[2.10] Import from .mud has bad style information
 
After importing my various .mud files I decided to start looking around at what condition things are in. One of the first things I noticed is that the text colors for all the imported files is off. My main .mud seems to consitently import with Information Messages set to Navy. Command Echo lists as Yellow as it should, but this sometimes get changed to Black on its own.

Importing my other files sometimes comes up with the right colors and right font, but generally it doesn't. These often turn out as Blue for Information Messages and Lime for Command Echo. The font should be Arial Narrow 8pt for the secondary files, but quite often they import with the default font. It seems like if the font comein correctly then the colors are wrong, and if the colors come in correctly then the font is wrong. Closing CMud, relaunching, and reloading frequently causes the values to change around.

The easiest way to see this is to create a new session setting my main file achaea_def.mud as the primary file.
Open the session offline and wait for it to be ready for commands
Open the Package Editor (CTRL-G)
Open the channels.mud using File|Open from the PE menu
Open the room.mud using File|Open from the PE menu
Enter at any command line
Code:
#ALL "#SHOW {%pref(EchoCom,1) %pref(EchoMessage,1) %pref(EchoScripts,1)};hello;#ONINPUT"

Note the colors and appearance in the different windows (you won't see the command echo in the room.mud window, an old trigger gags it)
Close CMud by clicking the big X
Launch CMud
Open the session offline
Enter at the command line
Code:
#ALL "#SHOW {start};hello;#ONINPUT"


You will see that now the fonts have changed, the Command Echo color for the main window has changed to black, and other color shifts may have happenned. Out of doing this a few times the results are rather consistent, but they do not match the settings that existed in zMud.

I am still seeing problems with this in 2.10. I haven't totally tested the procedures of my previous post instead I have just been using the untitled session to check the import. I am still seeing the colors be off, and the font importing wrong. It looks like the line spacing is imported then removed on the next load.

Yes, this is still on my bug list. I didn't have time to fix all of the bugs yet this week. It will probably be a couple of weeks before all of the reported bugs are fixed, sorry.

Not a problem, I just didn't know if the topic got missed or if it was on the list.
