Zugg Software :: View topic - Some really basic stuff is not working on my CMUD

This seems really wierd to me. Lots of totally normal things dont seem to work on my Cmud. i was previously a user of zmud but that was very long ago.

1. first issue was that the triggers would not work at all. the trigger icon thing showed it as enabled. all the settings were default out of the box stuff. i tried using the editor and using the feature that compares text to find a match... even if i put the same text in both parts, it always came back and said no match. after turning some of the options on and off (Always returning to default start), for no apparent reason some triggers started functioning last night! any idea why that might have happened? i am not a total noob, though have been away from Zmud for many years. i had to tinker with it for hours and could not find a cause.

2. until today the mud will not accept multiple commands on a command line input from the online user interface. for example typing into the command line " kick bucket; n;up;d;e;shout i'm on top of the world" or some such nonsense. all that happens is the first command executes. I tried checking the special character assignment and it is still the same. the only thing i can think of is if it has something to do with keyboard assignment. my system is Indonesian, though running it under English Keyboard or Indonesian gives the same result and in fact there is no difference in the actual keyboard layout between the languages.

cMUD version is 2.37 and Windows 7 sorftware

Appreciate any help as to what part of the system might be interfering with this. it does not seem to be the actual settings but the documentation isn't really clear on this point (multi-commands via command line).

okay, today after logging in and changing no settings, all of the sudden multi-commands on the command line work as one would expect. after more than a week of not working. does anyone know why this would happen?

Sounds like you accidentally turned off the Command Line Parsing and the Enable Triggers global options (in the Option menu). The Command Line parsing is easily toggled with the Ctrl-R key, so maybe you accidentally pressed this key at some point. That's all I can think of that would cause this.

For the triggers, it's possible that the PCRE78.DLL library used for pattern matching in CMUD wasn't getting loaded by Windows properly. Sometimes this happens and requires Windows to be rebooted.

But I have no idea how it would stop working and then suddenly start working again with no changes. Maybe there was a Microsoft Update that broke something and then another update that fixed it. Computers can be pretty annoying like this sometimes.
