[Bug] Text entered with a ! at the end messes up when using #all or :sessid:
 
This bug is highly annoying, on 2 MUDs I play you have to "quit!" to quit the game, but when I enter it using #all (both MUDs allow multi-play up to 3 characters at once) or when I try to send to another window, it fails like this:

char1 window enters:
#all quit!

char 1 sees:
quit!

char 2 and 3 each see:
quit !

instead.
Or, char1 enters :char2:quit!
char2 still sees:
quit !
which obviously doesn't work.


Also, on a related note, is there a way to turn the zMUD functionality of : as a shortcut for #all back on? I hate typing #all all the way out... 13 years of doing ":drink fountain" and the like is very hard to change.

When using some special characters you need to properly enclose your string data in " quotes or in {} braces. CMUD can handle this for you with most text but not all. The correct syntax for #ALL is:

#ALL "quit!"

or

#ALL {quit!}

Zugg, I tried both of those and got the same result as above. It still separates the exclamation mark from the word on the 2nd and 3rd windows.

You could make a simple command input trigger to do that for you.
