Zmud freezes when quitting the program
 
I have an issue where everytime I try to completely turn the Zmud (7.21)application off, whether by the Quit button or the windows X, the program freezes and needs to be quit via the End Process option. It will also have the same effect if I try to close out the settings window or any other window associated with Zmud. I've uninstalled completely then reinstalled to have it run flawlessly once then experience the same problem.

Any pointers would be much appreciated.

You probably have a runaway alarm or other setting. Does this happen every time or is it sporadic? Does this happen if you disable parsing/triggers or disable all your user-created settings?

Happens every time, even with parsing and triggers unchecked.

Have you tried backing up your settings, and uninstall/reinstalling?

I have. It worked once and then developed the same problem the next time I tried to close it out.

Very strange. You've got a very messed up setting somewhere then. Try it again, but this time, export your aliases/variables/trigs/etc one class at a time. Then import one class. Test. Import another. Test. Etc...

If you don't have your settings in classes... do it in groups that go together.

Once you find out which one is causing it, post it here and perhaps we can figure it out for you.

I've narrowed it down to a particular script by removing Zmud completely and adding/subtracting script by singular script to see which caused the affect. I'm not sure what causes it to hang with this one specific thing (maybe the sheer size of the list which I've abbreviated dramatically here?), as I only use one alias which relates to the thing, but operating without it, which is immensely inconvenient, seems to keep Zmud at peace with the universe.

Take a look

#CLASS {CityEnemyHighlight}
#CLASS 0
#CLASS {CityEnemyHighlight|enemies}
#TRIGGER {%qRoh%q} {#cw Darkgoldenrod}

A crapload of similar triggers but with different names.

#CLASS 0
#CLASS {CityEnemyHighlight|CityEnemyHighlight}
#ALIAS hideenemies {#T- enemies}
#ALIAS showenemies {#T+ enemies}
#ALIAS updateenemies {
#delclass enemies
#T+ enemylist
cityenemies
}
#VAR itemline {} {}
#TRIGGER "enemylist" {Enemies of the City of Cyrene:%crlf} {
#VAR itemline "" "" {CityEnemyHighlight}
#T+ itemcap
} "" {disable}
#TRIGGER "itemcap" {^(*)} {#IF (%begins( "%1", "Total:")) {
#T- itemcap
#T+ enemytotal
#VAR itemline %replace( @itemline, ", ", "|")
#VAR itemline %replace( @itemline, ",", "|")
} {#VAR itemline %concat( @itemline, "%1")}} "" {disable}
#TRIGGER "enemytotal" {^Total: %d$} {
#FORALL {@itemline} {#TRIGGER {%q%i%q} {#cw Darkgoldenrod} {CityEnemyHighlight|enemies}}
#T- enemytotal
#T- enemylist
} "" {disable}
#CLASS 0
