Zugg Software :: View topic - Commands like ".5w" are not #RECORD-ed

Posted: Fri Jan 16, 2009 11:39 am

When using #RECORD, commands like ".5w" do not actually record in the recording queue.

Example:
When recording an alias:
#RECORD
u,.5w,s
#RECORD an_alias

an_alias produces only: u,s. No ".5w".

Myconfig:
Windows XP
CMUD v2.37

I think you need to record it like .u5ws and it will work, you use ; instead , in dirs unlesss you changed default settings

I should have been more specific.

I enter those commands sequentially, as I move in the MUD:
u
<CR>
.5w
<CR>
s
<CR>

.5w means something special to Cmud and mapper, so you shouldnt use it.... i think in helpfile there are good examples

CMUD records the aliases and CMUD plays the aliases.

Shouldn't CMUD understand its own language?

i think typing 5w will solve your problem, "." is special character for CMud, shrugs, yeah Cmud SHOULD understand it and put in alias {u;.5w;s} but its silly alias normaly you will type it like {.u5ws}

Try 5w and see if it works.

When I record aliases I don't know from the beginning the whole path. So I record as I walk looking on the map.
I go up (u), then I see I need to go 5 west (.5w) and then I see I need to go 1 south (s).

I was merely pointing the fact that the recording is not working well in this particular situation when directions are entered separately.
