Hi,

I am using zMud6.62.
There is a problem when recording a path with the diagonal directions. ZMud doesn't use the correct direction letters. Therefor can't use the recorded path.

Old paths can be used without problems and also path I enter by hand.
But I can't record paths correctly?

Anyone else noticed this problem? Is it maybe solved in a newer BETA version?

Hi, I'm using Zmud 6.62 in Achaea mud. I record the paths using copy and paste. EG. the room I'm in to destination room. Highlight the DESTINATION room, right click and SAVE PATH. A window will pop up, highlight the path exclude the DOT at the BEGINNING of the path.
Select copy and close it. NEXT go to actions. Select RECORD PATH
in the window that pops up PASTE that path in. SAVE it { give it a name}close it
go to paths and select that path. Slow walk it.

I also have this script

#ALIAS onroomenter {#PAUSE;#ALARM {+3} {#STEP}}.

Good luck
Happy walking :)

What direction letters does zMUD use when recording a path with diagonal directions?
What direction letters do you consider to be correct for those directions?
What are your Direction settings? These are usually inherited settings in the System|DirectionsDiag folder, and you'll need Show Inherited on the View menu to see them.
If you are using the numberpad for movement, what are your Macros for the diagonal directions? These are usually inherited settings in the System|KeypadDiag folder.

EDIT: Just tested path recording with version 6.62 and had no problems using diagonal directions. Tested both numberpad and command line movement, and for command line, tested both abbreviated directions (ne) and full directions (northeast). All methods gave the correct direction-letter. Since there isn't any problem in version 6.62 to correct, there is no reason to expect any beta version to make a difference.

I am playing on a german Mud and therefor I made my own directions. I didn't really know of the inherited ones before I read your reply.

Could it be, that my directions and the inherited ones have a conflict?
Is there a way to switch of the inherited stuff?

To switch off the inherited directions, add a #T- command to the end of your password trigger.
#T- System|DirectionsDiag

Sorry for the delayed reply, I took a bit of a break.
