Hey,

I've had an MXP tag in my game for a while now, that lets people see the name and owner of a building when they place the mouse cursor over it on the map. I was using the Hint option in the <send> mxp tag to do it.

Problem is, it doesn't seem to work in Zmud 6.62. I know it worked in older versions, so was there a change in the mxp format or something, or is it something fixable in the definitions?

I assume something like <send href="smile" hint="This is a test">press me!</send> then.

Be sure that you follow the format fully. A <send> needs the </send> to work for example. I have written down a summary of (some) parts of mxp that you might find useful:

It should show mostly the correct syntax. The easiest way to spot possible errors is if you post what you send to the clients.

Nah, it wasn't a syntax error, or else it wouldn't have worked on older versions. Also, I don't use the full <send> tag, I make an element when the player connects. Now, I redid the element to add some new features, but it still doesn't show the hint on mouse-over:

!ELEMENT Bl "<send 'Blast &x; &y;|computer connect &x; &y;|help &name;|Info &x; &y;'
hint='&name; Owner: &owner; &x; &y;|Blast|Connect|Help|Info: &name; Owner: &owner; Loc: &x; &y;'>"
ATT='x y owner name'

It sends the info right, cause when I right-click it, everything works ok. But I'd still like to get some info when I put the mouse over the map, and that doesn't happen :P
