I really have no idea what to make of it so perhaps Zugg or something makes enough sense out of this AV I'm pasting below.

AV started to happen day or two ago while I was going from one zone to the next by double clicking the destination room.
So I first figured it might be this problem people used to have some time ago. But it isn't consistent enough to be that.

In most cases changing zones like the way described above or by script (nothing fancy, just $walk=%exec(%walk(vnum)) and using an alarm to pop directions off it) does work without any trouble.

And this last case I was just moving around between two zones without clicking anywhere manually nor using the script.

This is a known problem in the current mapper. Set your Speedwalk mode to "Fast" to help avoid this. This should be fixed in the new mapper rewrite that I'm working on. First Beta in November.

The problem is very computer speed dependent. So it's a very intermittent bug that effects some people, but not others, and doesn't happen all the time consistently. Adding room scripts can make the problem happen more often.

Hmm, fair enough and thank you for the explanation you provided.

I've yet to test the suggestion on-line because of lack of time, but I just ran 2 "walks" from one zone A to zone B and from zone B to C
while Speedwalking was set to "Fast" and no AV.

Hopefully same will hold up once I'm able to test it while actually in the MUD.

Thanks again. As a side note, I most likely wouldn't stumbled across this at all when I would've had Speedwalking at "Fast" all the time, but
I changed it to Safe once I started to play Achaea. Ironically, now I realize that I could've let it be Fast anyway, it's Step Delay that makes
all the difference, regardless of which mode you're at.
