Alias: m2a
gearChange @MANAGear @MANAContainer @ACGear @ACContainer

Alias: gearChange
#var oldGear %1
#var oldContainer %2
#var newGear %3
#var newContainer %4
rem all
#FORALL @oldGear {put %i @oldcontainer}
get all @newContainer
#FORALL @newGear {wear %i}

MANAGear and ACGear are string lists, MANAContainer and ACContainer are regular variable. (rem all, and get all container are command for my mud).

90%+ of the time, 'm2a' works without a problem. But occassionally, I get a blue screen of death when I type this alias! Can anyone explain why, or offer a fix? I've tried various versions of zmud, and have the same problem.

Thanks,

Can't see anything with this particular alias that could cause the problem. Might want to try following the steps to uncorrupt a settings file as described in the Migration Guide just in case.

The only thing that I can remember is in a couple beta versions ago where you didn't want to have a null in a string list like no third item: {1|2|}.

What version are you using? Perhaps add a check to the string lists if that helps.

Thanks for the suggestions.

I'm version 6.34, but I've seen the same bug with previous versions. I checked my string lists, and there are no null members.

I also tried the migration steps as Kjata suggested. Since the alias works most of the time in the first place, I can't say that the steps help until much later.

Thanks,

The only thing I can think of that hasn't been mentioned is that you may sometimes get a BSOD when you send too many commands or receive too much text, and overflow the buffers. Try increasing your sendline delay (preferences) slightly.
