I just downloaded zmud and started it up to try a game of Lord. Anyways, whenever I enter a command, zmud will automatically do another enter right after. So say, I gotta hit Q to quit the game. I hit Q, then right after I hit enter, zmud automatically enters again and it ends up selecting the default option of NO, so I cannot quit the game that way. It happens with pretty much any other command I type as well. Pretty annoying, ive played with alot of the prefs but nothing seems to solve this problem. I tried using the new trial version, and the old free version, both have the same problem for me.

Try using #SENDP (send prompt) which sends the text to the mud without a newline.

EX:

#SENDP quit

Thanks, but it is still pretty difficult to play if I have to type that every time I want to enter a command. Heres some text from the game that might give a better idea of what the problem is.

Armor Shop (? for menu) :
Armor Shop (? for menu) :b <- I type b and hit enter, to buy.

Which one? <- prompt to enter the number of the item I want to buy
: <-line where the number of the item I want to buy should be, but it skips it as if I had hit enter again

Armor Shop (? for menu) :b <- back to the beginning

Which one?
:

Armor Shop (? for menu) :b <-here I tried sending two commands together with b;26 to try and beat it before it skipped again
26

Which one?
:

Armor Shop (? for menu) :
Armor Shop (? for menu) :
Armor Shop (? for menu) :
Armor Shop (? for menu) : <-but I couldnt buy the item and got 4 new lines instead.

Well anyone else have a similar problem before? I just started using Zmud, so maybe its something really simple I am missing or something.

LORD? That sounds like the old BBS game, and from what I saw of the output you posted it looks like it too. You only choices are to type in the game or use the SENDPROMPT command. To type directly you have to set the preference "Character Mode" in General|Emulation.

Not sure if something like this is possible, but couldn't you make an #ONINPUT trigger so that whenever something is typed, it appends the #SENDPROMPT command to the command???

Like I said, not sure if this is possible or would even work.

Yes, it would be possible, but using Character Mode like Vijilante suggested is the best way to go here. #SENDPROMPT, in my opinion, is more for when you need to send text without a newline once in a while, but not all the time.
