I hate to rehash this but I tried downloading every file from the microsoft website regarding TTS systems, I tried searching for Zor Software (nothing to be found), I even did an internet search on mudreader to no avail. All I get is "The TTS engine failed to load - Mud Reader functions are not available" now that I've reformatted my computer to start anew. I'm sure someone out there knows how to get this working. Please help the TTS is so nice for someone like me. I'm using Windows XP Prof. I've installed MS Reader 2.1.1 and the TTS engine it said to install with it, and at that I am at a loss.

Did you try emailing the author directly for support? According to http://www.zuggsoft.com/zmud/down.asp you should do that. The email address listed there is zorsoftware@hotmail.com
I'm sure people here would like to help you (and indeed, some may know the solution to your problem), but you might go ahead and send off a mail just in case.

Unfortunately that e-mail address doesn't work anymore. I've been pretty busy lately and honestly didn't really think anyone was using my plugins. =)

The new address you should use is zor@kaczorzoo.net - please send me the MudReader.log file from the zMUD directory and I'll see if it offers any insight into the problem.

I sent an email I dont' know if you got it or not. Please let me know. I had attempted sending email to the old address, even doign an extensive search online for the mudreader information. The only reason I posted on the forums was in hope that somone used the plugin and knew how to make it work.

Zor!! haha your plugin rocks! I used it for a while and it worked great. Later on I did something to screw it up and ran into the TTS not loaded issue as well. Thanks for supporting your plugin. I'll be mailing you a log, hehe

Thanks

Zor, i've never stopped using your plug-in. It's the best plug-in i've had for any software i think.

I've thought often on what other possible plug-in might be usable in Zmud...but other than yours i couldn't think of any.

Darn good addition to the Zmud family.

I to am having problems with the TTS Engine failing to load. Used it before and the mojority of my script uses the #speak command. The authors e-mail has been removed, ONCE AGAIN (dude get a google mail or something and stop changing it dang you have programs you must give support to out there) and there is no support for this plugin. Does some one know how to fix this error.any where is there a way for me to create my own aliases to do what the mudreader did? If so I wanted to create it so it was just as easy to use as mud reader ALIASES %1 sort of speak. and second post there seems to be an error on this post page that amkes the text box not refresh right when using the backspace, delete ,or adding text in the middle of a line, while using Google Chrome Browzer :(

Some one please give me a solution.
Thank you for the time
Zeather Kalvar.

Of course, there is absolutely nothing wrong with the MudReader plugin either. It works just fine.
Make sure you're enclosing your #SPEAK statements in curly brackets. #SPEAK {Hi, my name is Jim}
If this doesn't work and you think you have a fault install of either MudReader or zMUD, you can always try reinstalling them both.

To date I've been using MudReader for 8 years and I've never had a single problem with it that wasn't my own mistakes. Now, I'm not saying you haven't discovered something that is caused by a unique system setup or something, after all... it is possible.
