chewbacon: Yes, the error when clicking the map button on the toolbar is currently a major bug in CMUD. Many people have reported it in this and other forum topics, and I've been able to reproduce it as well. It will be fixed in the next version of CMUD.

When I opened CMUD after upgrading to 1.33, I received an error, but opted to continue the application.
Everything seems to work, except the map- I get a blank box where I can't load anything or really do anything except close it.
If I close the mapper and then close and re-run CMUD, there is no error as the mapper isn't being loaded. As soon as I hit the map button to open it, I get the error.

Here's the bug report I wrote in the first instance - before I tracked it to be mapper specific

I just started using CMUD, and built a hug world map.

I then activated my copy of ZMapper, and made a few minor changes.

I saved the file from ZMapper, and ever since then I am getting an error neither application can recognize the file type.

I can't get Access to open it either. The file itself is still about 29kb, which I think is a good sign.

Is my map lost forever? Not quite sure what to do.

I've had numerous slowdown issues where it takes longer to switch rooms with certain slow mode configurations. The topics are already in existence, just thought I'd mention them on this thread.

I reported this once but my post somehow was deleted...

In Lusternia, if a room being created is part of a road, the name will be in the form "This is the room name. (road).", but what will be put in the newly created room's name is "This is the room name (road)". CMUD routinely removes the period at the end of a room name, which works fine. But it appears to remove all periods in the name string, not just the one at the end of the name.

When I am later in tracking mode (sorry if I'm using the wrong terminology...the mode you enter by pressing the button on the Mapper with the footsteps), the location marker will not advance to one of these particular rooms, because it is looking for "This is the room name. (road)" and is finding "This is the room name (road)", so there is not a match.

I've had to manually reinsert the period after "name"/before " (road)", then tracking mode works fine.

I played Lusternia in the past and this problem did not exist...I don't know if Lusternia MUD has changed it's room-that-is-part-of-a-road naming convention, or if the Mapper stripping ALL periods out of a room name was somehow introduced in the interim. I am using CMUDPro 2.18

open cmud mapper, in map creation mode, create a new room
set current room as position
from commandline #call %roomlink(,north,-3)
instead of creating a link back to the same room on the north side, i get 2 one on the north and one on the south,
open properties window and i have 3 links to the new room, one the north and 2 to south

Ocassionally i execute my rewalk alias (code below) and cmud throws an error which it will happily allow me to "continue application" from.
Not 100% reproducable, and the result is normally my being sent to the room that the por alias lands me in.

You're going to hate the code on this one, but i'm pretty sure it's map/portal specific, as the alias definitely WORKS, it just throws an error very occasionally.

Code For "Rewalk":

#MAKEWINDOW doesn't always draw the link when it would move you into a preexisting room.

Hi there,

I have a little problem with a mapper - I've changed zmud to cmud. I moved my map to cmud and it works good without some places where mapper needs to execute very simple scripts. In these rooms I have in room script for example #trigger {pattern} {#teleport <room number>} In some of those (not all rooms with this script though) there appears Acces violation. I can continiue application but it's really annoying if for example someone is chasing me ;). Do U have any ideas why it isn't working properly??

I'll be gratefull for some help..

V.

You're using 2.37, I'd assume? Room scripts are pretty borked in the 2.x versions, it's one of the things that the 3.x versions (currently in beta) are changing. A public version will come :)

So U say that I just need to wait? Yes, U're right - I'm using 2.37 or should I get BETA version?

Only get the Beta version if you are willing and able to help track down bugs. The public version is expected soon.

Posted: Tue Mar 17, 2009 10:21 pm

You can get the beta version if you want, but they can contain very serious bugs and you should be ready to give a detailed report when you encounter them. Betas have in the past contained bugs that leave invalid data in packages, for example, that can then cause problems when something is changed in a future version. Using betas isn't for the faint of heart and those without backups.

How about this error:
Whenever I connect to a session the mapper tries to load the map and gets almost done when it stops and has an error: Not a valid bookmark. Then if I close the map and try to open it again it says: Access violation at address 004BAC5D in module 'cMUD.exe'. Read of address 0000004D.

I am running CMUD version 2.37. It hasn't done this ever before and I took it home and tried to play and it had this error. I have absolutely NO idea what to do.
Please Help!!
Thanks

You might try holding the shift key when opening your session, that will reload your layout file, and should let you view the map again.

As for fixing the bug, the mapping module has been going though a significant re-write in the beta side, it's quite possible this has already been fixed

You should really use a new thread to post new mapper problems rather than these ancient dead threads.

And in that vein, I think I'm now going to lock this one. Consider this a historic archive of pre-v3 mapper problems.
