Send me maps that don't convert
 
If you have trouble converting a zMUD map using zsConvert, please email me your *.zzz and *.map files so that I can try it.

The tricky part is getting the files to me. My email spam filter tends to delete a lot of messages with attachments. So, be sure your email client is set to send a message in PLAIN TEXT (*not* HTML) and make sure your map files are in a ZIP archive file.

So far, I have not received any map files, so I have been unable to uncover the bug in zsConvert that is causing trouble for some people. So, please send me your maps, and then send a followup email without an attachment asking if I got the file. This way, I can determine if my email gateway is stripping your attachments or not.

Thanks for the help.

Zugg, I have tried a number of times to send you emails with attachments. the attachments are Ziped and my email is set to plain text. If your software looking for anything else that may be blocking this?

Tell you what: send it to sales@zuggsoft.com instead. That email address doesn't use the spam blocking.

I tracked down the "field too small" problem. The room Name field is limited to 80 characters and the converter doesn't have any error checking for that. If you change your room names to be smaller, then it will work.

Btw, I've also fixed the normal support@zuggsoft.com email so that it accepts most attachments again. There was a typo in one of my spam filters.

Script for finding room names > 80 characters. Run once on each zone.

#ALIAS Find80

#VAR room 0
#WHILE (@room<%numrooms( )) {
#IF (%len( %roomname(%mapvnum( @room)))>80) {#ECHO Room @room has too long room name!}
#ADD room 1
}
#ECHO Done with @room rooms.

Edit: Hopefully fixed problem with it missing rooms

Well, that script doesn't quite work properly. It doesn't check all the rooms in a zone. I will post a new version of it shortly.
