Okay. I've no idea what's causing this and couldn't find anything wrong in my code. Maybe someone will have experienced a similar problem.

I play Aetolia regularly and have had very few problems since the update in Cmud, however a particularly annoying problem I've run into is an alias firing off random words. For instance:

ts (alias to "touch shield".)

The alias itself works fine, however, the alias is also set off by random words I input. Example:

Snicker (touches shield)

I've checked the full package and cannot see anything wrong in it. So, uh, help?

Is this something you thought up just for an example or did this actually happen?

and

Typing the word, "Snicker" caused you to touch your shield or did you type, "Snicker (touches shield)"?

Yo Asi - Irru here.

Try replicating this in a blank settings file, if it still happens its clearly a really weird bug, if it doesn't then I'ma tell everyone back in Aet how much of a nublet you are >.>

Just kidding. Or maybe not, hmm.

Seriously though, I haven't seen anything like this so I think its some oddity with your settings. Did you convert your zmud system over? There might be some strange oninput trigger or rogue %lastcom command somewhere that is causing this. So test with blank settings.

This really -did- happen. The alias is literally ts to execute touch shield. However, typing in "snicker" brought about the very same.

I changed the alias to tsh and it and it worked fine, however typing in "ctells" then set the alias off all over again. I honestly do NOT know what's wrong with it.

So to answer the question, yes I just type ts or snicker and I get shield up.

Caled: I converted my Zmud system over- this is by far the oddest problem I've hit with converting it over. O.o

I'll test on blank settings in a sec.

EDIT: Yeah, it happens on blank settings, too. Nothing in the package save for an alias (ts) and it still gets set off by random words. >.<

How are you creating the blank settings? Here is exactly what I did to test this:

1) Run CMUD. Close the Sessions window.

2) Type this in the command line:

#ALIAS ts {touch shield}

3) Now I typed "ts" in the command line (without the quotes) and it displayed "touch shield" like it should. I tried other words, such as "Snicker" and "ctells" and several other words and never saw anything cause this alias to fire.

So make sure you are testing it in this way. If you are loading any kind of other packages, then my guess is that you have some sort of ONINPUT trigger, or other trigger that is firing.

I couldn't say if this is accurate yet, but unchecking "auto-append" seemed to resolve the problem I had. I'm still toying around with it, though.

EDIT: Apparently not. I did exactly as you described, Zugg and I'm still getting the same result. :/

Is it a clean installation of CMUD 1.34? Or did you install it as an upgrade, over top of your previous CMUD? If the latter, I would recommend you uninstall, delete leftover files, and reinstall. It could be a matter of corruption caused by successive upgrades and using some old files with the new program. (Old files were sometimes corrupted from bugs in CMUD, basically.)

Yeah, it was a straight forward upgrade. (As were previous installations ever since I downloaded the original.)

I'll try reinstalling and see how that goes.

Okay. Months later I finally worked out what was causing this.

Apparently there's a problem with unclassed aliases/variables where it will execute the wrong thing. (Sometimes Cmud would check a variable that isn't in a class rather than the variable it's supposed to be, etcetera.)

As far as I know this is still a problem only I've suffered, and may not be worth looking into.
