Hi everyone
After upgrading I have a problem with scripts which I can slowly work through and correct. Am I right in thinking 2.18 is more "particular" about correct scripting?
Anyway I am really not a programmer and have absolutely no understanding of MXP. When I now log onto Discworld mud after asking for character name the screen shows:

<!EVENT tell from="{player}"><!EVENT say from="{player}"><!EVENT soul from="{player}"><!EVENT shout from="{player}"><!EVENT echo from="{player}"><!EVENT emote from="{player}"><!EVENT whisper from="{player}"><!EVENT emoteall from="{player}"><!EVENT combat from="{player}"><!EVENT channel from="{player}" channel="{channels}"><!EVENT talker from="{player}" channel="{talkerchannels}"><!EVENT group from="{player}" command="{groupcmds}"><!EVENT club from="{player}" club="{clubnames}"><!EVENT map><!EVENT score><!EVENT inform from="{player}" type="{informtype}"><!EVENT inventory><!define player "Details about the player" guild="{guilds}" guilddesc="The guild the player belongs to" clubs="clubs" clubsdesc="All the clubs the player belongs to" family="family" familydesc="The family the player is in" killer="yes|no" killerdesc="The player is a playerkiller" friend="yes|no" frienddesc="Member of the friends list on the mud">

Also when in combat I keep getting <event> combat........ etc.

Is the first lot of code telling CMud how to handle these "Events" and if so why is it not working?

I don't know how to deal with this and, as I no longer have the install file for CMud 1.34 (the latest I have is 1.17) I can't downgrade. I was happy with 1.34 but bought a new laptop and installed 2.18 on that.
I cannot use this version so will have to resort to continuing to only mud on the desktop. I was hoping to be able to do so anywhere on the laptop.
Any suggestions or dare I hope that someone has kept a copy of the 1.34 install?

Basically, this is a problem the admins of Discworld created. To quote myself in another thread:

Thanks for the advice
First I have debug off and still get the "Events" showing (This is with CMud 2.18 running on Vista on my laptop) although I do notice that with debug on there are a lot more "Events". Running 1.34 on my desktop under XP with debug off I get no "Events" showing up - with it on I get all those shown in my post (I had not noticed them before because I never turned it on!)
Next I tried the code you suggested and got an "Error parsing command: - illegal token:>}" message

That's probably due to the ! character. Try

#event OnConnect {#mxp "<!element Event MULTILINE>"}

Is it just the <!EVENT> tags that show with Debug mode off, or is it some of the <event> tags that show?

I have forgotten a lot of my programming knowledge but I should have thought of the quotes.
That has done the trick.
Thanks a lot for your help
