Zugg Software :: View topic - Trouble sending command to all windows using "Focus Char"

Hello,

I have been a long-time CMUD user and just recently reinstalled CMUD on a fresh install of Windows 7 32-bit. Since installing, I have been unable to use ":" to send commands to multiple windows simultaneously. For example, if I type ":look" it will just send that exactly to the current window instead of sending "look" to all open windows.

Here is a screenshot of my settings to show that the Focus Char is set to ":" and also Enabled.

Here is an example of me typing ":look" on my mud. When you send an ":" to the mud itself, it interpretes it as a shortcut for emote, producing the blue text you see. Additionally, you can see that parsing is enabled when I try this.

I have never run into this problem before. Has anyone experienced this before or does anyone have any suggestions on what I can try to solve my problem?

Thanks in advance!

Ah, I remember now what I had to do.

This was a zMUD feature that was removed in the switch to CMUD. I remember finding someone else on the forums asking about this and a trigger was provided as a band-aid.

#trigger {^:([^:]+)$} {#ALL {#SEND %1};#NOINPUT}

I suppose I've answered my own question, thanks for the response nonetheless!
