I'm getting a List Index Out of Bounds Error (-1) whenever I try to open up today's logfile. Does that mean it's too big?

I doubt it unless your computer doesn't have much RAM - is it a crash, or what? Post the crash dump, if so.

Also, remember to tell us exactly how you are opening the log file so we know more about what you are doing. My guess is that there is something specific in the logfile itself that is causing the crash and you'll probably need to email me the file so I can try to reproduce it. Especially if it has ANSI codes, or HTML tags in it (I'm assuming you are trying to open it in the Editor window)

Also, on the 19th, the log was screwy in that the logger didn't log anything. I quit, relogged back in and everything but to no avail. I tried removing the intro gag triggers since I thought they might have been it, but that didn't do anything either. It simply didn't log. I should have saved the file that was created but I didn't because I deleted it several times in hoping its recreation would fix it. So, you probably can't fix that unless it happens again, but it's worth mentioning.

I got the file and reproduced the error. I'll add it to the bug list. It actually looks like the file is too big for the 3rd party HTML editor component that I'm using in the CMUD editor. The actual error was with a /span tag, but when I loaded the file into Firefox, my validation plugin didn't find any mismatched span tags, so I think the file was just overflowing some limit in the editor.

Actually, I had a lot of problems with the size of this file. All of my HTML editors took forever to load it. Most of my PHP tools were so slow in scrolling through the file that they were unusable. Even Dreamweaver had trouble with the size of the file. I just think that few tools are set up to handle huge HTML files like that, since they are mostly non-existent on the actual web, so most software hasn't been testing with huge files like that.

My Firefox HTML validator was eventually able to parse the file, and all it identified was that my A tags for hyperlinks were being written as MXP tag without the HREF="..." attribute. So I have fixed that in the next CMUD version.

Unfortunately, it doesn't look like this is going to get fixed anytime soon if it's a problem with my 3rd party HTML editor component.

How big a file are we talking here, just out of curiosity?

4.56 Megabytes.

Edit: So I'm sort of out of luck?

Another one of my log files screwed up in that it began to log the initial log in procedure but stops there even though I was on for long after that.

Alright, so my logger has quit logging on me again just because I reconnected (and the reconnection -did- attempt to continue the log), there seems to be way too many problems and I'm thinking I should move back to ANSI color logging, though, if I remember correctly, that means the colors will be off again. And, all of my write log is in html, will that have to be changed too?

If you are going to be generating log files that are so huge, then yes, you should probably go back to ANSI logging, and yes, you will lose any HTML color info and will have to change your #WRITELOG.

Or, you can look for another HTML viewer that doesn't have problems with huge HTML log files.

However, whether you are using HTML logging or not should not have any effect on whether or not your logger is "working", so it still sounds like a script problem somewhere.

I'm wondering if it might be related to that when it reconnects it sends #log without ever closing the log. Does sending #log after the log has started end it? Can this be fixed onConnect purposes?

Also, what sort of support to you get from your HTML editor thing. Will they fix it or am I screwed?
