[3.33a] Bug: #URL not working
 
so I've started to use cmud again after a pause in mudding, however with the latest update my vote alias stopped working, I'm using google chrome as browser. and windows 7 64 bit as OS, normal url links open just fine, however #URL is refusing to work for some reason

it should work fine, are you enclosing the url in quotes when it gets complicated?

#URL {http://www.ironrealms.com/irex/tmsvote.php?id=aetolia}

As Shalimar mentioned, have you tried doing:
Code:
#URL "http://www.ironrealms.com/irex/tmsvote.php?id=aetolia"

instead to see if it works any better?

Although I just did your above URL command with CMUD 3.33 and it worked fine here. But I have Firefox as my default browser. So maybe it's an issue with Chrome. CMUD will send the exact same command no matter what web browser you are using, so CMUD itself doesn't care about that. But there might be some difference in the DDE implementation between Firefox and Chrome.

Let's ask the obvious.

Parsing is enabled, right?

Didn't work with quotes unfortunately, I guess I will try a reinstall of cmud after a complete uninstall
and yes parsing is enabled.

I assume you also tried it in a blank session without any of your other session settings? Just type the above into the command line. Don't put it in a trigger or any other script just to see if it works in a blank session or not.

Also, does it still fail if you try a simple web site like:
Code:
#url "http://www.zuggsoft.com"


Btw, the way CMUD calls your browser is by looking for the application assigned by Windows to open a *.htm file. So maybe your default file extensions are messed up somehow? In Windows 7 there is an option in your Start menu (Default Programs) for assigning default application file extensions, so check that.

doublechecked association with *.htm, it is with chrome

I've got no clue what it is :/
