Speedwalkign without a movement character?
|
I am used to using tintin and switched over recetnly to zmud, however one thing I find annoying it having to use a . before speedwalking.
I tried to just leave the movement character as blank and got an error, how do I fix this? |

Well, if your speedwalk character was nothing, then everything you typed on the command line would be a speedwalk, which would be a bit silly. How are you expecting it to work?

I just want to be able to type in wwneeu into the command line and have the character speedwalk to the directions. Same as if I typed .wwneeu

Doing this will either be extremely complex, or extremely error-prone, as I said above. Unless your server is doing it and for some reason zMUD is stopping the commands from being sent to the server's speedwalking system properly, anyway. This is something you might try:
#oninput {^([news]+)$} {#gag;#exec %concat(".",%1)} "" {regex} |

Honestly it is a deal breaker. I would also like to be able to use numbers in the command line like 5ewseu does the same as .5ewseu
This is a function that most tintin versions has had built in since the early 90s and I am amazed that zmud doesn't have something this simple built in. Guess I will have to go back to using the pueblo client. |

#oninput {^([\dnews]+)$} {#exec %concat(".",%1)} "" {regex}
Alright?
I'm really curious to know how tintin stops false positives, though. That's the reason that zMUD uses the speedwalk character, because it's not that inconvenient to type "." before your paths and then the client can be 100% sure that's what you want. If it's having to guess if something is a path or not, it'll be bound to make a mistake sooner or later. |

It doesn't stop false positives, that is the job of the user. I have used tintin to mud in 94 and actually have been in situations in which I knew my speedwalk was going to take me somewhere bad, usually a smart user will zap the tintin session, but sometimes you can't catch it. |
