This typically has only happened to me with CMUD, but I've been getting it with zMUD more too and I think it may be messing with certain facets of the program. When I startup zMUD, I get two ZMUD.exe tasks in my task manager. If I end either one, they both shutdown and so does the program. This happens without making any connections whatsoever.

Any idea why this may be happening?

It's the copy protection, there should always be two processes running.

odd, I've had times where I've only seen one, and typically I've only seen two when I'm having issues.

So then the question becomes this. I'm doing mapping with Gemstone 4, which sends the room name in a GSL code. Problem becomes that despite the fact that the sent gsl text is the same, I get times where the value stored by zMUD doesn't seem to catch the end code for the room name. As such, the mapper refuses to assign a name to the room. Now obviously I can do a lot of things manually and with TAGS, but the point of gsl codes is to already have such info available. Any clue why this could be happening? Below is an example of what Gemstone sends for two rooms, the first one it picks up the room name correctly, the second it doesn't.

Just a guess, possibly because the latter has two apostrophes.

Nice try, but had one that did the same thing with only one apostrophe. I actually think there may be an issue with how Simutronics sends the two codes. On the ones that don't work, it is almost as if it isn't recognizing the GSp at the right time. So, instead of just a room name, it is just pushing straight through and picking up the carraige return and room description and making it a part of the room name. Oddly though, it stlil picks up the room description codes just fine and records those for the room no matter if the room name gets sent right.

I may just have to go TAG the room name.

Does %gsl(p) get properly filled?

that is the problem it seems. When I bring up the values list for GSL in the preferences, it seems to have caught the inherent p code wrong in some of the rooms in the way I stated in my last post. I'll make my own trigger to see if it pulls up the same thing there but typically any trigger I make takes the same value for the codes as the ones zMUD picks up.

Here is what I get with %gsl(p):
