#4838, "Cmud snips part of desc"


          

I need your help.

I was putting my description off, when I noticed that one line was parsed off from the screen. I am using cmud.

This is the original set of lines:

Bright red eyes that exude a mixture of ferocity and cruelty are visible
above a partly opened maw, that allows the smallest glint of razor sharp
fangs.

And It shows up as:

Bright red eyes that exude a mixture of ferocity and cruelty are visible
fangs.

The desc only appears completely when I disable parsing.

Please give me a hand to fix this. Any idea on how to tackle it helps.

Could you have accidentally added to your role, or a note, rather than your description?

Probably it skips the line because it matches a regexp set to be gagged.

Just a guess.

You are talking to the illiterate,hehehe.

The closest to what you said seems to be options>general>scripting>special characters.

And in there I don't see anything in the line that might cause this mess.

I'm just making an educated guess (which I'm 80% sure is a correct guess but I can't help you verify it because I don't know CMud specifically).

Are you using a pre-made config for CMud?

I just looked at my variables and I had one (someone gifted that one to me) set up so that if I type: item "scarab's sneakers" it will throw me an id of the item if its in the database.

On that variable there is a gag command, do you think it's interacting with the line?

#file 2 "c:\cmud\carritems.txt"
#var tmp_list %grep( 2, %1)
#loop 0,%numitems( @tmp_list) {#echo %item( @tmp_list, %i)}
#unvar tmp_list
#close 2
#GAG Opened "C:\Program Files (x86)\CMUD\carritems.txt" as file 2
#GAG Closed "C:\Program Files (x86)\CMUD\carritems.txt" on file 2
#GAG Variable tmp_list removed.

Could that GAG line be improperly written and gag anything that contains the word "opened"?

God damn, you are right.

Thank you very much, I never noticed that.

Now everything shows, I bet that I will also be able to see that key/bottle in the loch.
