Hey all,

I was wondering if there's any way to increase the speed at which stacks of command are sent to the MUD? I'm using Zmud 7.04 and as it stands right now gmud can send commands to the MUD faster than Zmud. Confused

Any way I can fix this?

First, zMUD's up to 7.21 now. Upgrading never hurt anyone ;)

zMUD sends commands pretty much, and always has for me on any hardware. Is your computer very low-spec or something? I could do something like

#loop 10000 {goto %i}

and they'd all get sent in less than a second.

If your computer is low-spec and this is causing problems for you, you'll probably find that closing everything else running and reducing the number of settings (especially aliases) you have will speed up processing. Reducing the size of the text buffer can help as well, it's under Memory in the preferences.

Of course it's low spec =P that's why I play MUDs and not games like Halo 2. *jk!*
But seriously though, I don't think it's low spec, I mean, it's 2.8 GHz with 2 GHz of RAM, I don't think that's the problem...
Is it perhaps all the "processing" that zmud needs to get through before it sends the command to the client?

2 GHz of RAM? They doing it in those amounts already?! Twisted Evil

The more triggers you have, the slower it will go. If you've got tons of triggers, then zmud slows down. The easiest way to check your speed with and without triggers, is to use the shortcut "control-Q". Firstly, with triggers enabled, press control-Q. It will spam your screen with lines, and the time it took to execute them will show in the status bar. Then, disable your triggers, press control-Q, and compare numbers.
With triggers, I get a time of 13.4
Without triggers, I get a time of 4.4
