| | Hello! I'm not sure what they're called, but these little bracket things, < and >, seem to be causing me to miss some things on the MUDs I play. Like, if there's output that says 'Type <blahblah>', I'll completely miss the <blahblah> part because it's disappeared somehow. Sometimes, depending on what it is, it's just the first bracket that's missing and I'll see something like this: lit>. I don't know why this is, and I've been looking over the global preferences and world defaults to see if there's anything I can change, but I don't see anything that helps. Silly question, but it's slightly irritating... so I'd be super grateful for anyone's help. Thanks tons in advance. | | Top |

| Your mud have MXP turned on?
We've had this 'problem' in the past, if I remember correctly its the mud sending <something> when it SHOULD be sending <something&rt;
If your mud doesnt use MXP, you might have accidentally enabled it when it shouldnt be. You can check, game > configuration > MXP/Pueblo and see if its set to something other than "No - Never". |

| | If however your mud does support it, then you can try (though not always successfully), to get them to read the bloody specs that say that you must replace all < and > in normal text with < and &rt;. I wish you luck doing so though, unfortunately MXP is a bit like some HTML, where some browsers are broken and will correctly display what is actually complete garbage, though being garbage, never the same way on every browser. In this case, Zugg never said what a client 'should' do if an error happens, so Mushclient generates an error event, while zMud just passes the bad information on as visible text. A lot of mud admin seem to ignore the information that says that such text is technically wrong, because they either don't bother to read it, or test the mud with zMud, but not Mushclient. Again, basically the same situation you get with lazy web site developers, who don't bother to make sure the page works in anything other than IE, simply because it is used more. | | Top |
