I has a problem!

So, three times now when playing, without apparant cause, my client will stop getting any sort of output from the game except for prompt, I know imputs are going in because twice I moved to a safe spot (woot for orgbix), logged out, closed MUSH, started up again and I had actually moved, now I've bugged this twice, first time I was just told to bug again if it happened, second time I was told to make sure all gagging and triggers were off and then bug it again.

Now it's happened a third time, I paused my system (Basic Treant) but it persisted, would this be enough to constitute turning all gagging off? How would I go about turning gags off if not?

Or, alternately, has this happened to anyone else? Is it probably something to do with Treant or is it something completely differant?

Maybe you're using a really, really old version of my map plugin, which would sometimes start gagging the in-game map display and then not stop?
Lawliet2010-02-15 19:52:52
Seems plausible, but in that case wouldn't the little map in the corner be showing what's gagged?

Considering that I never updated the plugin, no, it does not.

So, give Treant 1.33 a try and see if it happens again, I guess.
Lawliet2010-02-15 21:43:21
Already using 1.32 so if it's an old problem then I doubt it's the mapper, but, for future reference, how do I just update instead of re-doing the entire thing?

Instructions are right there, download, extract, move new files into Treant folder to replace old, then the install command.

If it starts happening again, go to the Game menu, select Trace, and see if any triggers are firing and gagging your text.
Lawliet2010-03-01 21:30:14
Ok, it happened again (in a raid, of all time) and selecting trace got the result of:

TRACE: Executing trigger script "map_redirect"
TRACE: Executing trigger script "map_redirect"
TRACE: Executing trigger script "map_redirect"
TRACE: Executing trigger script "treant_prompt_decorate"
TRACE: Matched alias mapper_prompt__
TRACE: Matched alias prompt__
TRACE: Executing alias script "mapper_prompt"
TRACE: Executing trigger script "map_redirect"

Everytime I did anything, ideas?

Looks like the map plugin is capturing more than it should, gagging everything and trying to throw it in that little miniwindow. As it seems you're the only one with this issue, I'm going to chalk it up to user error and suggest you upgrade/re-install.

I know other people who had the same error and I was able to replicate it. No user error.

Okay, then tell me how to replicate it and maybe I'll fix it. rolleyes.gif

Basically older versions of Treant like Lawliet stated, I am not sure which one I was fiddling at the time but I replicated it on both my computer and another with trying to make the plugin work properly. It works at times but other times moving through rooms with the same repeated name seems to trigger it the most, it then proceeds to choke out everything and there was a fix to it besides just quitting (I think).
Unknown2010-03-02 11:24:57
I don't support older versions, for what I hope would be obvious reasons. If you can replicate it on the current version, then I'll worry about it.
Lawliet2010-03-02 12:28:52
I'm currently using the second most recent version and I don't think you've made any updates to the map since then, have you?
Unknown2010-03-02 12:41:00
I haven't made any changes to the map in a long while. Still, I need to know exactly how to reproduce the problem, such as a log of when it starts.

Wanted a log, here's a log.

The bright sun shines down, blanketing you with its life-giving warmth. A statue of Faenae stands here, memorializing her noble spirit. There are 2 devout krokanis here. There are 5 towering, clattering automatons here. There are 3 syringe filled with a purple fluids here. There are 2 clumps of trash here. A young pony with a braided tail stands here quietly. Sir Inagin Val'Andra is here, looking sickly pale with splotchy green spots all over his body . He wields a rapier of the Holy Flame in each hand.
You see exits leading north (open door), southeast, and northwest.

Well, I'm sure this might actually be a problem. I'm dueling somebody, and I keep trying to mend my legs. I get this message.

Plus, one thing continues to annoy me. If I don't have the potion or something required to fix an affliction, I keep getting plagued by notices that I don't have it. And, sometimes when I'm trying to do other things, my character keeps doing something to continue curing what's not there.


You may eat or smoke another herb.

The bough you're standing on suddenly tilts and branches forcibly hurl you out of the tree, sending you tumbling to the forest floor.
