Just upgraded to zmud 7.03 and am having a bit of a problem with room scripts. Any room that didn't have a room script before, now has an "All" command stuck in it. Gets really annoying to speed walk someplace a good distance away and have all these "Pardon?" messages show up because its a command the mud doesn't know.
Seems this problem has happened before, but I can't remember how to fix it, nor have I found any mention of it by serching these forums.

I tried to make an alias for All as follows:
Name: All
Pattern: #if (%roomcom !="") {%roomcom( ,"")}

That removes any room scripts a room might have (I don't use room scripts) and only works in map mode. Problem being that after I turn follow mode back on and hit a room that still has an "All" command in the room script it completely crashes zmud. No error messages or nothing.

Soo.. long story short - anyone have any other suggestions to remove the "All" command from every room script from every room I have? My maps are rather large so going room by room is not an option, and I don't have MS Access, so that's not an option either.

After some fiddling around, I changed the alias I had before to:
Name: All
Pattern: #if (%roomcom = All) {#call %maplocked(0);%roomcom( ,"");#call %maplocked(1)}

That works well and stops the crashing, but still leaves me having to manually enter every room in my maps to fix the problem..

I THINK not sure test on a backup

turn on map mode
then slap these in

#call %roommode(1)
#loop %numrooms {%roomcom(%roomnum(%i), "")}

On a big map it may take a while to run so best to do offline well taking a shower or something :P

Didn't appear to do anything. All room scripts still have an "All" command in them.
Any other suggestions?

Ok now that I have Zmud help files in front of me try it with these two changes

#call %roommode(1)
#loop %numrooms {#CALL %roomcom(%roomvnum(%i), "")}

That seems to be working since zmud is now using 50% of the cpu (all it will ever use on a hyper-threaded machine).
Only problem is that it will wipe out any room script no matter if it had "All" in it or not, which is no big deal for me since I think I had simple scripts in like four rooms total out of 12,000+ rooms.

Think it finished in about five minutes on a p4 2.4ghz computer with 512mb of ram, so not too bad.

Gonna play around with it to see if I can skip rooms with normal scripts tho. Thanks for the help! :)

Lemme throw that at ya then. again test on a backup as I don't have zmud infront of me :P

#call %roommode(1)
#loop %numrooms {#CALL %if(%roomcom="ALL", %roomcom(%roomvnum(%i), ""))}
