I'm having a problem with my prompt trigger. This is the pattern:

^(%d)h, (%d)m, (%d)e, (%d)p (%w){~<~>-|-}

And of course all the goodies inside that, but when the trigger is checked as prompt (not newline) it doesn't do anything. When I enable 'show triggers' I get this:

3482h, 3104m, 3926e, 10p exkdb-



Which is zMud getting the pattern match, but not executing the innards. But as soon as I enable newline, it works perfectly fine. And that'd be great and all but it gets horribly bogged down during group battles. Do I need to adjust some setting that lets zMud know when the prompt is received? I've tried CONFIG PROMPT ADD LINEBREAK and without it, and still nothing. I'm completely stumped. Thanks

Managed to figure this out, after finding various posts around the web.

So for future reference here's the deal:

1) View -> Preferences -> General -> Emulation and make sure Use GA/EOR for prompt is checked

2) Make sure no newlines are in your prompt. CONFIG PROMPT OFF and then CONFIG PROMPT STATS doesn't remove that newline. Gotta use CONFIG PROMPT REMOVE LINEBREAK. Do it a coulpe times, just for kicks.

3) Trigger for the prompt, in the Options tab, must have the Trigger on Prompt box checked.

Hopefully that'll be helpful for others. I used Ethelon's system before crawled back to zMud and found another system, and his runs on linebreaks.
