MXP Breaks causes permanent underscores
|
So, ran into an issue on an Abermud with MXP. I have found two specific spots that, with MXP enabled, turns on underscores for everything on the mud. I turned on debugging, and the following line turns on underscores:
| Quote: |
| <send 'wave &text;|grin &text;|spoison &text;'> |
One of them I aliased around. The second one, tho, happens in a room description and it hits anytime i walk through that room.
So, my question. Is there something I can send to the mud, maybe via the #MXP command, that will just reset the underscores, making it so i dont have to kill my session and reconnect to fix the issue? Id love something like an F-KEY fix i could hit and move on. To be clear, its not links that cause this, and I'm not looking to turn off the links. Just need a way to correct it and while I saw some stuff in the help, I didnt see the pieces I need to make it work.
Thanks for reading! |

I suspect part of this might be that the command seems incomplete. The lack of a closing tag implies that this rule is for all further text.
Might be some incorrect variable references too if I can properly understand your intent.
But I need more information.
Can I see the trigger you have that tries to run this?
You likely want something more like:
| Code: |
| #TRIGGER {($target:{@potentialTargetList})} {#SUB {<send 'wave $target|grin $target|spoison $target'>$target</send>}} |
and then to populate the potentialTargetList variable |

First, thanks for responding! Much appreciated.
Second, I don't have a trigger. I am just using the mud, and in a couple of spots (one in a room description) it just goes wonky on me and from then on, ALL text from the mud has underline turned on. Which, of course, is hard for my poor eyeballs to parse. So far, I am closing the session and reconnecting, but Im hoping for something I can do that will fix the issue so i dont need to close the session each time i walk by this room.
ok So i think i found the issue:
| Quote: |
<send 'wave &text;|grin &text;|spoison &text;'><color dodgerblue>Username here</send></color>
|
The send is malformed, because the close for the send is inside the color tag.
So, first, Im gonna send this to the mud so they can fix it.
Second, would still love a command that can reset my terminal to keep from having to close the session and reconnect. |

So, gave to the mud programmers. Basically, its not just making everything underscore. Its making everything a link because it never sees a close to the first link, if Im understanding it correctly.
Dont suppose theres a reset command to reset all open (not terminated) links? |

you have your closing tags in the wrong order, any nested tags need to be fully inside the parent tags
you can use the #CLR command to blank out the window
also, restarting CMUD is a common fix to most issues you stumble upon in playing with these features (and bad syntax), it really is the best way to free up system resources |

hi Shalimar
Yes, I know the tags are in the wrong order:
| Quote: |
| The send is malformed, because the close for the send is inside the color tag. |
So, if the mud screws up and sends me the malformed tag, the #CLR will reset the tags so everything will stop being an open link? |

I'm not sure.
But if the MUD is sending bad tags you are likely gonna have a lot more issues. |
