Open your Package Editor by clicking Settings. In the Package Editor, click View|Show Default Packages. Do you have the English Directions package loaded? If you don't have either the default directions (which reside in English Directions) or your own customized directions package, speed walking won't work.

If you still have trouble, please tell us what speedwalk MODE you are in (fast, safe, slow), whether you are in the Follow/Track or Map mode, and exactly HOW you are speedwalking (double-clicking a room, using a .path notation, using the #WALK command, etc). We need as much info as possible to try and reproduce the problem.

I should also note a tiny error that you and several others have made in the past. You marked this thread as 3.10b. There is no 3.10b version. You probably put the b there to mean Beta. There is no need to do that, and in fact it can add confusion. There is a version 3.10, and a 3.10a. Both of them are Beta versions--so far, all 3.xx versions are Beta. There could have been a 3.10b, and marking this thread like that could be confusing. If 3.10 is a Beta version, there will never be a 3.10 Alpha version. Instead, an Alpha version will get it's own number.
So, the moral of the story is, don't add 'b' to a version number to mean Beta. The number itself determines whether it is Alpha or Beta, since a version number will never be used for both Alpha and Beta. |

Ahah! That fixed it. For some reason the DirectionsDiag is H J K L.. I edited the XML respectively for the names to be ne nw se sw.
| Code: |
<class name="DirectionsDiag" initenable="true" id="8">
<notes>Default direction settings (diagonal directions)</notes>
<dir name="nw" reverse="s" dir="nw" id="9">nw|northwest</dir>
<dir name="ne" reverse="s" dir="ne" id="10">ne|northeast</dir>
<dir name="sw" reverse="n" dir="sw" id="11">sw|southwest</dir>
<dir name="se" reverse="n" dir="se" id="12">se|southeast</dir>
</class> |
However now the problem as you can see is that the reverse="s" and so forth isn't sticking to "se". I try to change it and it jumps back to a single character only.... Am I doing something wrong?
I am set to slow speed walking, in Follow/Track mode, and I'm double clicking on the room in the same zone from the map window. This map was originally made in 2.37 but was upgraded with 3.10a
In regards to the b in 3.10b, I read that there was a quick change done in the initial release of 3.10 and saw people putting 3.10b in their threads so I figured that new fixed version was labeled 3.10b, implying that 3.10a was the initial. |

<dir name="l" reverse="h" dir="se" id="12">se|southeast</dir>
</class> |
I switched it back and have made sure it's enabled on all the windows I could.. just for the sake of it.... still for some reason when it sends the commands, it's actually sending the h j k l instead of the nw ne se sw.... |

The h, j, k and l is the default and is proper for the mapper. It has always been that way with mappers, even in zMUD.
One thing that might seem silly is to check and make sure the English packages are checked in the windows that use it. By default (and not able to be unchecked), your MUD session will have them checked. If for some reason you use a child window to actually MUD from, then you'll need to make sure they are checked for the child windows. Just go to settings and choose the window you mud from and make sure both English packages are enabled.
Definitely follow Zugg's instructions. If this is a bug, then we'll want it fixed asap. Also might consider installing the newest Beta (3.11) to see if it hasn't been fixed somehow. Would be best to install the new one in a different directory so you can go between the two as needed, though.
Oh, one other thing is to try using other commands to see if it does the same thing. For instance, use #WALK and see what it does. If it's just double-clicking, then it'll be easier to pinpoint.

Well I took your advice and installed the newest version in another directory and it seems to work. Must have been some odd glitch in my install of 3.10a.... It was happening with both a double click and using #WALK. I made sure it was checked everywhere it could, but that doesn't really matter anymore. heh. Thanks a bunch guys!
