You'll just have to disable your settings class by class until it stops, and narrow it down in that way until you find it.

The really fun part is I tested it with *everything* disabled. Same result. I'm guessing it's some preference in Cmud that I've not tried disabling.

In previous versions I'd just see..

<>: You say, "Test."

When it's supposed to be..

<<Daru>>: You say, "Test."

Instead it seems to be appending whatever is between the second < > to wherever its fancy is taken.

Such as above where it appended to the start of my prompt on the next line or in a random place on the next line.

<>: You say, "Did you not understand that when I say this that means you cannot make ANY judgment
based on w<Daru>hat we have NOW?"

Something like that^.

Something isn't disabled since the default channel arrangement in aetolia is
(Daru): You say "Test."
and not
<Daru>

GTS. :P

Novice/GT:
(Initiates): You say, "Test."
(Daru): You say, "Test."

GTS:

<<Daru>>: You say, "Test."

Not my fault everyone keeps -you- on probation. :D

Spammy bunch.

The reason this is happening is because <<Daru>> looks like it contains an MXP tag. There's an option in the prefs "Show Unknown Tags" - try turning it on.

Yeah, that was that problem. I'm still confused why it was auto-appending the <Daru> elsewhere, though.

Thanks. :)

The reason it is showing elsewhere is because of the change to handle a prompt that looks like an MXP tag. So what you are seeing is actually a bug in that handling. You should use the #DEBUG trace.txt test.txt command and post a short segment of each so Zugg can test and fix it.

Yes, please do what Vijilante suggested and send me both the trace.txt and text.txt files as email attachments to sales@zuggsoft.com so that I can replay this and try to fix it.

As Vijilante mentioned, this is a bug in the handling of unknown MXP tags in your MUD prompt, so I need to see the exact text sent from the MUD to fix this.

Got it. I'll test it as soon as I'm able.

Okay, I sent the files a few hours ago. I'm not sure if that's enough of an example, though.

Can you tell me if this is still happening in v2.11? I'm having a hard time reproducing it.
