Hi all.

I didn't see this mentioned anywhere else as being a problem, so maybe I just have a setting wrong.

If I receive output like this from the MUD:

Someone [42] Shouts <runs to the nearby well>

Zmud will show me:

Someone [42] Shouts

If I try to send a tell to someone:

tell someone <grins>

Zmud will show me:

You tell Someone ''

This is really not good. The message does actually send, but I can't see messages contained within <>, presumably due to Zmud's use of HTML tags.

Other issues I'm finding thus far are...

http://www.website.com/

becomes

http:&fs.&fs.www.website.com&fs.

if I'm actually sending the text

http://www.website.com/

it becomes

http:::www.website.com:

If the MUD sends

[

it becomes

&lsb.

if I send

[

it becomes

:

I've tried to replace incoming < and > with * *, but then triggers I have that actually make use of the HTML functions of zmud no longer work, and I get *font color="#FF00CC"*

Any help would really be appreciated.

I had some really wierd stuff going on with MXP...

See: http://forums.zuggsoft.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?t=21955

after exporting settings by class, doing #KILLALL, and then importing the one i was having issues with, it worked. I then proceeded to import each class one by one till it broke, it didnt break till i imported my status window. i removed the MXP codes from the status window and viola... ALL problems with MXP are gone. It's a pain todo, but it worked.

I didn't do any importing or anything with #KILLALL. I simply disabled MXP within zmud (I'm using 7.04) and it fixed the inablilty to send/receive emotes and text surrounded with <>.

It did not, however, fix sending/receiving things such as http://www.website.com/

From the MUD, they still appear was &fs. and [ still appears as &lsb.

and if I SEND them to the MUD, they appear as :

What is causing this?

Sorry, but we can't support version 7.04. You need to upgrade to 7.13b to get more help on this.

My guess is that the MUD itself is using MXP and is converting your characters to entities. zMUD certainly doesn't convert them itself. zMUD also uses the : as a special character for sending stuff to other windows, so you might need to put a ~ before it.
