I’m currently trying to use slowwalk with zmud 7.04 and am getting some weird behavior.

1. I start a slowwalk with #SL .3n3en4w2s
2. Slowwalk goes along just fine for a while.
3. Then something happens and I get the Slow Walk Aborted message. Which is fine.
4. So I start to finish my walk manually.
5. As soon as I enter the next room, zmud starts to spam directions to the mud. (i.e. nnnwn)
6. I enter another room same thing. It just keeps happening, different spam direction every time. I have to quit zmud and reconnect to the mud to fix it

One other thing I don’t have a Trigger for the #OK, zmud seems to be picking this up from Exits: string on it’s own.

Thank you for your help.

Look into Preferences and in Slow Walking define some text that would let zMUD know that a step in the slow walk was succesful.

zMUD is trying to find out if you really did move before sending the next direction. I don't get the spamming of directions once the slow walk has been aborted, but you should be able to keep it from happening with a #STOP command.

Also, even though you say you do not have an #OK trig, do check thouroughly your settings in case there is one hidden somewhere. However, by setting the slow walking strings correctly in the Preferences, it should work.

The speed walk does work... But if it fails for some reason... like, Someone shuts a door and I don't have the door marked on map... Then I get the abort message. I then type in a new direction like north. When I enter the new room, zmud enters a bunch of directions and I speedwalk off to somewhere random. If enter the #STOP command manually and then type in a new direction the same weirdness happens.

Are you using the mapper for the slow walk?

Sorry, Bad example of why if might fail. I do keep the mapper open while slowwalking and watch my progress on it.
But
I'm typing in the command #SL .4ne4sw
Lets say I walk the 4n just fine and when I turn east there is no east exit and the #SL fails -- Abort message. When I type south to go back down, I move one south then the weirdness.

Does that mean that the room name is triggering it?
