I have a quick question.. Maybe you guys can help prove me wrong so I can fully commit to cMUD.
The old (zMUD) usage of ";" to seperate commands did not require and it would not freak out with any space before or after the ";" to work. You could do
Eat meat; stand ; walk east
And it would parse the commands.

From my quick usage of cMUD, I saw that I had to do it like this
Eat meat;stand;walk east
You cannot have any spaces before the semicolon. Obviously not a huge thing, but definitely it's different and it messes me up.
I had to reinstall cMUD to find out what the problem was again, so I have it and I'll try it out. But After testing it for a day, I found that it was extremely annoying that I can't use such an amazing program because of some habbit I have and don't want to change....

Noe to the question, is there some parsing option I can change to make it so that I can put spaces before and/or after my semi-colon?

Thanks in advance guys.

i have never had an issue with them myself...
is this inside of a setting (trigger alias, etc) or on the command line?
if its a setting, its actually prefered that each command be on a seperate line, and then the semcolons are implied

as a quick fix... just stick a #SEND in front of your command line stacked commands and they should fire off just fine

I, too, haven't had problem with spaces before the colon. What exactly happens when you put a space before a colon? Your post doesn't say.

I think if you go to Preferences -> User Interface -> Command Line and uncheck Smart Command Line, that might be what you're looking for.

I don't know for sure; but give it a try. Just know that you'll lose the benefits of it as well.

Thanks guys for replying. I am not referring to anything in my scripts/triggers/alias.
What I mean is this:

I can do this in zmud command line:
e; n; st; look man; draw sword;

In Cmud, it would HAVE to be:
e;n;st;look man;draw sword;

No spaces after the color. Not before it, but after it. When I put it like this:
st; e

That exact string gets sent to my mud resulting in the mud's approximation of a bad command. So it's not actually parsing the line if I have a space after the semi-colon.

I hope that makes more sense.

You are correct. CMUD does not allow spaces around the ; character. zMUD was never supposed to allow spaces there either and that was considered a bug in zMUD.
