Zugg Software :: View topic - bug with non-standard colors and wrapping?

Apprentice Joined: 28 Oct 2003 Posts: 164

Please take a look and see if this is a known bug. Basically, I find that if I use #COLOR with a non-standard color on a line that wraps, the first line is black on black and the second one gets colored. However, if I use a standard color, it colors fine.

Example:

Make your mud window small enough that the text below will wind up wrapping.

#show {"one two three four five six seven eight nine ten eleven twelve thirteen fourteen fifteen sixteen seventeen eighteen nineteen"}; #color yellow

#show {"one two three four five six seven eight nine ten eleven twelve thirteen fourteen fifteen sixteen seventeen eighteen nineteen"}; #color $FFFF2F

#show {"one two three four five"}; #color yellow

#show {"one two three four five"}; #color $FFFF2F

This bug was reported in the Beta Forum, and has been fixed in the latest beta version of zMUD.

Great, thanks!

At this rate, I'm going to be forced to download the beta ;)

Would you say it's stable enough to use on a daily basis or is that still a bit risky when you're in the middle of some heated combat?

The current version seems plenty stable to me. However, with all of the awesome feature additions, etc in the next beta, it could exhibit some potentially nasty bugs.

Remember, you can install multiple concurrent versions of zMUD in different directories. This is a common thing to do when beta testing, because it will enable you to figure out exactly which version a bug was introduced. Each installation of zMUD will use the same instance of the license.
