CMUD 2.18 freezing
|
I've been trying to create a window with #MAKEWINDOW (this will be another topic). After closing the window and deleting the setting I continue using the editor. The editor will suddenly freeze and since CMUD is running on the same task (or vice versa) it also freezes. There is no way to get any data on this as all interaction with the program ceases. Can't close the CMUD window or the editor's. The only thing that can be done is to make the Task Manager force a close on the program and restart. I am really hoping that this is caused by the editor, otherwise it could only mean that the freezing is a random CMUD event which make the situation worse because it would mean the platform itself would not be stable.

OK, the following code will freeze the platform 100% of the time.
I have a stringlist called MissedList and I want to delete its contents while preserving the container.
| Code: |
#ALIAS delspells {$count = %numitems(@MissedList);
#WHILE ($count > 0) {#DELNITEM MissedList $count;#ADD $count -1}}
|
The execution of delspell will cause the platform to freeze. Take note that if I enter the #DELNITEM command on the command line, it works fine. |

Seems to work for me. I entered the script, and added a few elements to MissedList and then ran delspells from command line.
Open cMUD and hit escape and test the script in that new clean temporary session. Does that work?
Edit: Another method to clear the list is just to do:
#ALIAS delspells {MissedList = ""}
It'll empty the list, but not remove the variable MissedList. |

Well, I just tried it again. It froze the platform just as before. Try it with just one element which has been the case for me each time.

The script I used:
<window name="untitled" host="0" usesession="false">
<packages>untitled</packages>
<alias name="delspells" id="1">
<value>$count = %numitems(@MissedList);
#WHILE ($count > 0) {#DELNITEM MissedList $count;#ADD $count -1}</value>
</alias>
<var name="MissedList" type="StringList" id="2">abc</var>
</window>
Then I ran alias delspells from command line. The element 'abc' was removed from the list. No freeze. |
