In 1.26, when you used #MARK to start recording a path, everything you typed got stored in the path-variable. I found this very handy, for the MUD I play have _alot_ of customize directions.

In 1.28 only the standard directories gets stored in the path... I did a fresh install on cmud 1.28 and dont remember if I changed any settings for this or not since 1.26.

e.g.:

Input:

#MARK (then type) w, n, e, s, u, climb moss, do the chokachoka, worship god of thunder, whatever, d

Path-var:

1.26 (w);.(n);.(e);.(s);.(u);.(climb moss);.(do the chokachoka);.(worship god of thunder);.(whatever);.(d)
1.28 (w);.(n);.(e);.(s);.(u);.(d)

My question is:

Is it possible to have the "old" behaviour back? Is there a setting for this that I have missed? Looked through everything (afaik).

I didn't think I had changed anything related to that, but I'll take a look. In general, the Path recording stuff doesn't seem to be working very well currently, and I'm not sure why.

If you want to record *all* commands, you should probably be recording an Alias instead of a path. I'm not convinced that the *path* recording should record all commands, since many commands typed might not have anything to do with walking through the MUD.

The intent for Paths is that they mostly contain movement directions. Whereas an Alias can contain anything.

But in any case, I'll look into this and add it to the bug list. Certainly the 1.26 path *should* have been:

.wnesu(climb moss;do the chokachoka;worship god of thunder;whatever)d

rather than the mess that is is currently creating.

Another thing I noticed; If I type the directions "by hand" followed by enter I get the ();.-result like in my first post.
but when trying to walk with the default numpad I got the concatenated version of the path .wnesu(andwhatnot) instead.

Is this because I end the command with the enter key I get them separated? The directions aren't parsed before sending them like in zMud right?

Hmm, interesting. Thanks for that additional information. I don't think it's because of the Enter key, but that certainly should help me pin down where the problem is.

Btw, sorry I wasn't able to fix this in the 1.29 version. But don't worry, it's on the bug list for a future version.
