| I'm a rather new coder who, like many new coders, is teaching herself how to code by working on a live game. Yes, I do know that I'm nuts, but hey, someone has to be.
Those disclaimers aside, I've ported in the MXP code following the instructions here: http://www.gammon.com.au/mushclient/addingservermxp.htm
I've compiled and put in a few test elements to make sure that things are passing to the client properly. I had to make some small adjustments, but the codebase I'm working on has been in development for over 15 years. I expected that need.
What I didn't expect is for my inventory to show up with items like this:
]Get 'everflowing' 'an everflowing canteen'an everflowing canteen]/Get with the ASCII characters 192 and 217 bracketing the Get and /Get segments.
I've looked at the code for hours and simply cannot see where those ASCII characters are getting generated. I searched the MUD forums and didn't see anyone else posting with this problem, but if anyone has any idea where these characters are coming from, I'd be most appreciative. | | Top |

| MXP is easy to break, you have to be really careful with the parsing.
What's the address of your mud? If I can see what it's sending it might be easier to give a better answer.

| I've actually narrowed it down to the setups added to merc.h. \x03 and \x04 didn't want to work.
Now, however, everything is crazy underlined.
I'm doing this on a test port for our game, so it's not yet affecting anything live. The test port is running at ageofillusionmud.com port 1061.
Thank you! | | Top |

| I suggest you use MUSHclient's "packet debug" feature to see exactly what the server is sending. That code should work, I've had no problems with it.

I'm not sure what that means. |
