[3.34pro]bugs with MXP <dest> tag
|
1)when using a strikethrough tag in conjunction with <dest>, the strikethrough effect starts at x=1 instead of the specified x value in the dest tag. The order of the tags doesn't seem to matter (<dest><s> = <s><dest>).
| Quote: |
#mxp <dest Aardwolf x=5<s>fred</s></dest>
|
EDIT: this seems to be the case for the <SEND> tag as well, with regards.
EDIT2: while the above is certainly true for the first dest use on the line, subsequent use on the same line seems to only apply the effect starting at the dest's x value instead of starting at the x value relative to the opening tag (for example, if you made the "e" in "fred" a send link, the letters "fr" would be included in the clickable link as well.)
2)not specifying a y value in dest will append result to window, but the next line of text (user-generated such as a command or #PRINT as well as incoming text from the MUD) will overwrite it.
looked
The part in bold is in strikethrough, it's part of the test string from #1; the "look" is from the KEY5 macro that sends the LOOK command to the game. |

I wasn't able to see the strikethrough using the #MXP tag. However, using the #WINDOW command shows the problem clearly:
| Code: |
#WINDOW Aardwolf {ESC[5;1H<s>fred</s>}
|
The string "fred" is positioned correctly at column 5 but the strikethrough begins at column 1.
| Code: |
#WINDOW Aardwolf {ESC[5;1H<send>fred</send>}
|
As MattLofton stated, the underline indicating a clickable string begins at column 1, not 5.
As an additional test, I tried a manual underline:
| Code: |
#WINDOW Aardwolf {ESC[5;1HESC[4;37mfredESC[0m}
|
Again, the underline began at column 1 and not 5.
What seems to be happening is that the positioning sequence is only looked at to set the string's location. When the modifer(s) is/are encountered, the positioning sequence is ignored, though then right boundary, marked by the end of the string, is respected. |
