MXP Image T Property
 
I'm having a problem with downloads using the T or Type property of the MXP image tag. For instance, if I have an image at http://www.randomwebsite.com/monsters/goblin.gif, when I try something such as this:

<IMAGE FName=goblin.gif T=monsters URL=http://www.randomwebsite.com/>

ZMud will download goblin.gif to the folder Images/monsters/monsters/. For some reason, it creates two folders with the name monsters embedded within each other, and ends up displaying nothing. I CAN however display the image after it's been downloaded with the tag

<IMAGE FName=goblin.gif T=monsters/monsters>

So apparently, ZMud is downloading the file into Images/monsters/monsters/goblin.gif, and then looking for it to display in Images/monsters/goblin.gif.

Am I doing something wrong to cause ZMud to double-stack the folder monsters? Or is this a bug? Help is appreciated as I'm rather stumped, and being able to use the T propery would make things much simpler for me.

T (type)
The class for the image. Same as classes used in MSP.

Quote:
T parameter
Specifies type of the sound. This is mud specific. Some example classes might be combat, zone, death, clan. This parameter may be omitted, but if a MUD opts to use it, it's recommended that it be used everywhere. The actual type is a string, and should be case insensitive. It's up to the client to determine whether to use this parameter, and how to use it. This parameter was intended to provide a way to group sounds into subfolders within the main sound directory. Although subdirectories can be specified in the filename itself, the T parameter is another way to accomplish this.
Possible values: any string
Default value: subdirectory of fName
Used in: SOUND, MUSIC

Apparently the zMUD client has determined that it should use a two-level subdirectory in response to this parameter in the IMAGE tag. If you consider that a bug, report it.
