Zugg Software :: View topic - [1.15] Settings containing ;; not compiling.

I was going through my compatibility report and noticed that if a setting contained command;;command2;command3 all on one line it will not compile.
Here is an example that does not compile.

#alias test1 {up;;down;right}

This one does compile.

#alias test2 {up;;down}

You can still go into the package editor and move each command to it's own line and everything will work. This is fine but I didn't manually set these commands to be on a single line and shouldn't have to manually fix this.

is the ;; to send a blank line? if so change them to this
#alias test1 {up;#cr;down;right}

#alias test2 {up;#cr;down}

No, I was silly and used a load of comments in my triggers.
#cw blue
;This guy cuts of your head.
;and eats it
dead=1

Stuff like that.

Yeah, unfortunately this is a side effect of the dump single-line text export from zMUD. zMUD simply replaces newlines with ; and then outputs the script. So this results in the double ; characters. But this isn't a valid way to do comments in CMUD. CMUD requires the ; to be at the beginning of a line.

It's possible that this might get fixed, but probably not for a while. Your scripts will be more readable if you convert them to multiline scripts in CMUD.
