I've not been playing a for a while. But when I got back to playing the latest patch has a horrible bug for me.

When I try to speedwalk a long distance (more than 100 rooms perhaps?) it moves me a single room, then stops sending anything I type to the mud. I close zmud and log back in to the mud, and have indeed only moved a single room.

Doesn't matter if I use #walk manually, as part of a script or click the room in the mapper. Just moves me a single room and freezes.

Tried with 'warning for long speedwalk paths' on and off, no difference.

For the love of god help!

What do you mean by "stops sending anything I type to the mud"?
Is this speedwalks from anywhre to anyplace or just some in particular (bad room script or something)?
Could your mud have anti-speedwalk code that blocks it?

My mud has no code that blocks it, as there wasn't even a reboot when I upgraded. Asked friends still running older versions of zMud and they have no problems speedwalking 500+ rooms on 3-Kingdoms. (Though now they refuse to upgrade...)

Once I ask zmud to walk me a 100+ room long path by any mean since the last patch it stops sending any typed/hotkeyed command to the mud. It walks me the first room of the speedwalk path, stops there and does nothing accepting no form of input. (ctrl-alt-delete shows zmud as 'running', not 'not responding', and it promptly reports everything sent by the mud, such as 'shout' chatter, tells and any room events happening in whatever room I ended up in on step one from the start of the path.)

The most coming problem with failing mapper paths is a faulty prompt trigger in the Mapper-Config-Configuration Settings-Prompt box

Do your speedwalks work if you use short paths?

Try changing your walk mode to slowwalk and see if that helps

Slowwalk didn't help. And yes, speedwalking (fast or slow) works perfectly as long as the path is 99 rooms or less.

wonder if that is related to the #99 command.
type #99 whatever and it sends it 99 times
type #100 whatever and zmud does nothing.

Tried a few more things, like going back to an old backup. Using a friends settings (Which work fine on his computer!), compacting databases etc. No joy. My zMud just refuses to run more than 99 rooms in a single speedwalk!

I'm about to weep, and haven't really played in over a month due to this problem.
