Thats an exit message,   I wish I had the cap with the monsters in the room..looks like all that needs to be added is that

In an exit message, with 2 %s the first %s is the monster name, and the second is the direction.

Could this error have to do with the entrance message having no %s?


Note, with rare exception, exit messages and %s leave to the %s.  Sometimes there is only 1 %s, in this case the single %s is the direction.

The rare message without a 2nd %s comes from metro's first attempts at content, mod-7.


Btw chase messages are line 3, they havent worked in MMUD for soemtime but every monster has them, its what the player being chased sees when the monster enters the room.  They use the same style, if 2 %s's then its Name then direction, if 1, then just direction.


The messages really arent very complicated let me know as soon as you want to work on them, or at least get all the info that you don't have already.

QuoteStrange Mansion, Entrance
    You are standing in the entry to what was once a grand mansion. The room is
covered in dust and cobwebs to such an extent that only the outlines of decor
is visible. Strange howls and screams echoe from the hallways to the north,
there is a doorway to the west, but it is covered in dense cobwebs.

Not a big thing, but still not correct  :)

Ah..this is KINDA right, as they have no message..it shouldn't display the blank line though.

Zetetic

An important one for the PVP realm. Not sure if it has been posted yet, but it has been around for ages so I thought I might bring peoples attention to it.

When a spellcaster casts a combat spell on you, the message you receive currently is:
<other player> moves to attack <your name>!
ie. Ptery moves to attack Miyamoto!
instead of Ptery moves to attack you!

This means that unless you have special message responses set up, megamud will ignore the fact that a spellcaster has moved to attack you.

This should have been addressed in tonights update.
