With version 3.16 (I haven't upgraded yet, but I didnt see anything in the 3.17 release file that would indicate this has been fixed), if you have autosay enabled, and you paste from your clipboard to the mud, the first line has the autosay string prepended, the rest is just sent straight to the mud.

Of course, I could be doing something wrong. =)

I can't reproduce that exactly. Do you mean you want the autosay string prepended, or you don't want it?

Are you pasting into the command window and hitting <enter>, or using the menu item "Paste to World"?

If you are pasting into the command window, then even a multi-line command is likely to only have one autosay string prepended. I suppose you could call that a bug, but autosay is really designed for chatting, not multi-line commands.

If you want a string prepended to every line, then use "Edit -> Paste To World" and in the middle of the dialog box that appears, put your string (eg. "say ") in the box "Send this at the start of every line".

Well paint me stupid, I never knew about that :) *grin* the only use I personally have for an auto-say-esque feature is sending, say, a chunk of my 'score' screen to someone hehe. That'll do it though, I just never knew that was there :) thanks!

on an entirely unrelated note, am I the only person who actually uses perlscript with the client? The perlscript forum is dead! yikes!

I don't think I have had a single query about Perlscript, so presumably it isn't as popular, either that, or all the Perl guys know exactly what they are doing. :)

Just thought I'd chime in here...

The only reason I use MushClient is because I can write all my scripts in Perl. It cuts down so much scripting time to not have to learn some half-assed proprietary language to use the client. Perl's regexp and I/O facilities make it a perfect match for a mud client. And with Perl modules, I can easily do database access.

Keep up the work on this great client, Nick!
