Twisol Plugin Trouble

I've recently started using MUSH on my new/old computer and began using Twisol's plugins for Achaea. My problem is that the Compass and Gauges are covering text on my prompt at the top and bottom left side of the screen, and the Mapper Plugin does not update, or just shows a bunch of gibberish, even if I enter MAP PARSE or MAP.

I know there is a line of text I need to add to the plugin.xml of the Compass and Gauges, but I don't know where exactly to place it in the plugins. I believe this cause my prompt to shift over so that it is no longer covered.

This is the line...

TextRectangle(155, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0x000000, 0, 0x000000, 0)

Somewhere inside the OnPluginInstall function would probably do. But I didn't write the plugin.

Aha! Thank you! I've managed to fix the spacing for the Compass and Gauges, now I just need to get he Map to work...

The TextRectangle line was actually intended to go in your world's script file, separate from any plugin. For future reference, you can use the Game -> Edit Script File menu option to open it if you already have one. If you need to create one, you can do so from the Game -> Configure -> Scripting dialog.

As for the map plugin, where did you download it from? There have been a couple different places where I've uploaded my plugins, so I want to make sure you have updated copies. Otherwise, I have heard similar reports every now and then, so I'll make some time and look into it.

Glad to hear my plugins are still getting some use. :)

I believe they are all from your blog. The only other problem I am having is with your GMCP Plugin, I think. I always have to click the enable button in the plugins on it when I log in, otherwise they wont work, and after that at random it will suddenly make my screen blank. I can see everything I enter, but nothing is happening, if I LOOK I will see nothing, if I SAY anything, nothing happens, all I see is this:

west
look
ih
who here
stat
score
anything I enter
700h, 770m, 2400e,2450w

I'm still connected though. If I QQ I still log out and disconnect from Achaea, and I am assuming anyone in the room with me would see me logging out. I just don't receive anything it seems...

Try saving your world settings after doing that.

Something is gagging output and not releasing the gag.
