(I have to put parens around the char (<) in order to show it on this forum)


Is it just me? Or has this happend to anyone else: When the text !(open triangle bracket here)i (without the parens) appears, it throws everything after the ! onto a new line. Is there a special character or something that it interferes with? It gets annoying fast.

I can't seem to replicate this with what you have given, but it looks like a bug related to MXP. When you find a moment to consistently cause it, such as whomever being on the who list do this.

Turn off all triggers enter who and see if it still occurs.
If it does turn off MXP emulation in the preferences then enter who and see if it still occurs.
If it doesn't then turn on MXP emulation, enter the following command, then who:
#DEBUG who.txt whotrace.txt

This will produce two special type of logs that can be examined to find the exact problem. Please also make a screen capture, zip all three and email them with a little note about it to an active Guru or Zugg so a specific bug report can be made.

By the way, there's no need of parentheses to display < on this forum, people use it all the time. The same is true for !<. You might need to press Post New Reply instead of Preview though.

Thanks for the logs. I still can't replicate this, but I am forwarding them to Zugg. I don't expect that he will release another version to fix this bug. It appears to be caused by the less than character opening an mxp tag that is never closed. Once a blank line is received the tag becomes closed; at which point it is determined to not be an MXP tag and everything that might have been part of the tag is displayed. Because your mud sends ansi reset codes excessively this doesn't happen until the end of the who list. I believe zMud should determine that it is not an MXP tag at the first CR-LF received though, that is why it is a bug.
