That didn't used to happen. Looks like someone has been messing with the overflow settings in the skin.

Sandi said:Heavens, that's ugly stuff. If you could read it, you wouldn't put comments in the middle of it. Why the second %?
What second %
you mean %load% and the things along those lines? There's three separate commands oload mload and wload but you can, and is usually suggested to, use %load% instead which is then parsed into one of the others based on what it is attached to.
And no, i don't usually post comments at all, I only did while writing those right now under the assumption that isn't something that everyone here has used and understands intuitively, which is mot likely the reason for the ugliness as well, or is the following just as ugly when un-commented?
Code (text): Name: 'Push Ball & Touch Stone'
Trigger Intended Assignment: Rooms
Trigger Type: Command , Numeric Arg: 100, Arg list: touch push
Commands:
if %cmd% == push && 'ball /= '%arg%
%send% %actor% You push the ball and reveal a hole in the ground underneath it leading into a cave.
%door% %self.vnum% north room 4500
%echoaround% %actor% %actor.name% puts all of %actor.hisher% weight behind the ball and manages to move it.
elseif %cmd% == touch && 'stone /= '%arg%
%send% %actor% You reach forward and touch the stone, but suddenly feel as if you shouldn't be here and are perhaps invading.
%load% mob 500
%force% %self.people% mkill %actor%
else
%send% %actor% %cmd% what?!?
end

My only guess is so you could send the literal string '%var' without need of an escape character to tell it that it isn't a variable but the actual string that you want.

^ Look! It's David!! Right there! Look! Look! ^
Quote:Parsing is a lot easier when you have delimiters on either end of the identifier. So it wouldn't surprise me at all if somebody made the decision based on that alone -- even though I think it was a bad decision to make.
Ah, now I'm curious. Why do you think it was a bad decision?

No, that's quite readable. Thank you. I'm quite impressed. Still, I'd like reading it better without the trailing %s, and I'd hate writing them. Since I see no spaces between them, it seems the first would suffice.
I see David just posted, and yes, exactly.

Was the Mud Magic client kyndig's show? Is it now lost along with Mud Magic/Rage until/unless kyndig returns? A pity since it was the best client for working with Unicode.

I think it was open sourced and with that anyone should be able to fork it and keep the development going. Tho someone might like to correct me here if i am wrong.
OH and Welcome to the boards papa.
