I have a persistent problem that only arose recently when I upgraded Zmud. I play Achaea and other Achaea LLC products. What my output screen SHOULD look like is this:

4699h, 2645m e-
You have recovered balance on all limbs.
4699h, 2645m ex-
A young rat wanders into view, nosing about for food.
4699h, 2645m ex-
(A city): Player1 says, "Bye (city name here)."
4699h, 2645m ex-
(A city): Player2 says, "Be well."
4699h, 2645m ex-

However, with "Use GA/EOR for prompt" clicked, it appears like this:

(A city): Player1 says, "Bye (city name here)."
4699h, 2645m ex-

(A city): Player2 says, "Be well."
4699h, 2645m ex-

(A city): Player3 says, "*hugs Player1* *waves goodbye*."
4699h, 2645m ex-

(A city): Player4 says, "Bye player1!"
4699h, 2645m ex-

(A city): Player5 says, "Algiz Protect, Player1."
4699h, 2645m ex-
(A city): You say, "Ignore this, please!"
4699h, 2645m ex-

When I disable GA/EOR prompt, the spaces disappear. Completely. It doesn't align my output window the way I want it to. It should do:
(Prompt here)
(My command here)
(Prompt here)

And then wait for a new command to be pasted. However, it's doing the following with GA/EOR unticked:

3373h, 2645m ex-You put your hands on your hips and go "Hmmm!"
3373h, 2645m ex-You put your hands on your hips and go "Hmmm!"
3561h, 2645m ex-You put your hands on your hips and go "Hmmm!"
3561h, 2645m ex-You put your hands on your hips and go "Hmmm!"
3561h, 2645m ex-

I want each of those to appear on the output of the mud with a prompt separating the action. Such as:

3373h, 2645m ex-
You put your hands on your hips and go "Hmmm!"
3373h, 2645m ex-
You put your hands on your hips and go "Hmmm!"
3373h, 2645m ex-

*Note: It used to be perfect until all the emulation was implemented.

If I enter 10 commands with GA/EOR -ticked-, it appears perfectly normal. But the second someone -else- does something, it inserts an entire line of spaces. It's mainly apparent when having a conversation with someone in says, tells, or any public channel. My citytells are aligned perfectly with prompts after and before each command, but when someone else replies I get a space after it, typically.

It's more of an annoyance than anything else, but I'm still very curious as to why my attempts at fixing this have all failed.

I'd also like to add that with GA/EOR prompt is UNTICKED, it's the complete opposite.

Everyone ELSES commands appear to me perfectly, with no spaces before or after each of their actions. However, each and every one of MY actions are bunched together and unseparated with prompts like it is when others emote or talk near me.

Thats because Achaea doesnt conform to the telnet protocol.. (They are sending LF CR as a newline, instead of CR LF) .. I think this is fixed in one of the newer (beta?) versions.. (eg zMUD recognises both as a newline.. even though it shouldnt have to..)

(Turning on 'Use GA/EOR for prompt' should only create a newline when the mud doesnt send one itself.. as zMUD doesnt recognise Achaeas newlines... )

Sounds wierd tho :)

Okay, maybe I should have posted that I'm on 6.53, and I -believe- it worked with 6.40. Everyone else on 6.40 says they have no problems, and I'm the only one so far with 6.53 (on Achaea, I kind of see why)Well.. apparently, it's all the time when another player makes an action that displays something on my output window. Is it possible for it to be fixed, or tweaked, or worked around, or can I expect to see another emulation option in a soon-to-come zmud that will recognize the formats of Achaea? Am I gonna get in trouble for not posting in the beta section? =0

You're right about the Beta Forum part. Since you are using the beta version, and you want to report this as a bug, then post over there.

Ah, maybe something changed in between 6.40 and 6.53..
You should have said that, yup..
