| I have the following problem:
when I create an object, and @force it to do something, or give it a $command, it doesn't do anything.
It doesn't show an error message (so it's processing the command) but it simply doesn't do whatever it's supposed to.
I'm using the NT executable. When I run the Win9x exe, it works ok (same database)

| | Can you post a log of exactly what you are trying, and do an 'examine' of the object as well (and post the results)? |

CASH [#6]: 1000

I think this qualifies as a bug, actually. I also tried installing an alternate database with functions and the same thing happens. (the one that's in the Databases directory)
>cash
(nothing happens - no error message either, so the message was processed)
>@force cashcard=@emit Hello World.
(nothing happens)
>@force cashcard=@destroy me
(nothing happens)
and so on
this happens with any objects I create, with a wizard, God, a mortal. The functions like +spy/xxx that are on the other database don't do anything either.
if I shutdown, and run the Win9X version, it works fine.
I'm using pennmush172p29 with ntpennmush172p29
(and without. without, it works. with, it doesn't)

| Ah OK, I see what you mean.
There is/was a bug in the NT version, where queued events were not being processed, particularly in a test environment like you are using.
This came up years ago, I seem to remember fixing it somehow, but it is obviously still there.
I think you would find in a busy environment that it would work (eg. other players doing things), but in the sort of test you are doing the program "hangs" waiting on input, and doesn't pull queued events from its internal queue.
I suggest using the Win95 version, or installing Cygwin and compiling under that. Years ago Cygwin seemed pretty unreliable, but nowadays it works so well I am inclined to use that. |
