Ansi Codes Crashing Zmud
|
It seems we had some creative PLayers on my mud who add this code to thier description a nd in talks during battle to crash mud clients including zmuds this was all I could get from one of the offenders
" [2K"[r"
Anyone have any ideas? |

That's not ZMud's fault.
I won't play on muds where you can send ANSI escape codes to someone. You could create almost anything with ANSI escape codes. They could simulate fights, deaths, friends crying for help, gods talking to you, arbitrary clearing of screens etc. =b
The game should prevent all escape characters from being transmitted on communication channels, and perhaps only allow special color sequences to add color. I don't need that since I can send ANSI colors to friends I trust over ZChat. |

Click on
Prefs/General/Emulation, and disable
VT 102 emulation.
if that doesn't help disable
ANSI emulation
as well.
Then zMUD should just ignore all that sequences.
But somehow I prefer Pega's advice.
Tell the imms of your mud to filter out the 'wild' use of escape sequences,
or switch to a mud where players can't use that kind of tricks to interfer with the intended gameplay. |

Thanks for the help the Imms have just chagned it so that you can no longer send Ansi Escape codes it seems to hit other clients alot worse then zmud.
