[2.18] Wait for prompt when slow walking?
|
I would like to note that immediately after updating from 1.38 today, I noticed that my mapper was acting odd. It was sending the directions immediately after the room name instead of waiting for the prompt. I do have the checkbox for "Wait for prompt in SLOW speedwalking" checked and my mapper is in SLOW speedwalking mode, as i have always had it, however it seems this feature has been broken and many of my scripts depend on the next direction not being sent until after the contents of the room have been scanned, which is why I used this option.

Does there happen to be an archive download location, i cant seem to find it, I would like to download older version after older version until I can find the version before this bug. |
What MUD does it occur on? |

I think this is correct behaviour in cMUD. This is from the help file:
"Both Safe and Slow modes use #OK triggers to update map position. The mapper uses the room name to create such a trigger unless you check the Match Room description during speedwalk box in the Speedwalk page of the mapper configuration. When this is checked the first line of the room description is used to determine if a walking step was successful. If the Send #OK on speedwalk box in room properties is unchecked then the automatically created trigger for that room will not include the #OK command. Also, OK triggers that you have set up in the Slow Walking page of the preferences will confirm the mapper movement."(Speedwalking with the Map)
So the mapper creates a trigger for the room name, which sends #ok when it matches the room name. According to the help file about #ok:
"Normally, when a direction is confirmed by #OK and the Mapper is being used, the next step will be sent to the MUD when the MUD Prompt is received. If an argument of 1 is given to #OK, that will force it to take the next step immediately without waiting for the MUD prompt."(#OK)
It states that the next step will only be sent when the MUD Prompt is received. From my tests it sends the next step after the room description, which is wrong. Or is it? After looking through the mapper settings I discovered the following in config->mud prompt:
"Allow blank line to trigger speedwalking as prompt"
Unchecking that causes the next step to be sent at the prompt, as described in the help file for #ok.
This was an odd error :-). The problem is that the documentation doesn't seem to mention this in the #ok helpfile which cause confusion. I have added a comment to the #ok help file to try clarify when the next step is sent, as well as how to fix it so it actually sends it at the prompt. |
