| After getting MXP to successfuly install on my windows version of ROM (compiled in MSVC6) It works as it should for everyone, the only problem I have is when a player is being snooped the diffrent symbols aren't displayed properly. The <, >, and & Show up as <, >, &
And the mxp tags are fully shown instead of being hidden and ignored.
Any ideas, or pointers as to what and where I would need to tweak these? | | Top |

| Sounds like they are being converted twice.
Judging by the SMAUG source, which is probably similar in the output area, the snooping is done at the "flush_buffer" stage, which is *after* < becomes <.
This makes things a bit messy because you have four possibilities here:
- Neither of you are using MXP
- The snoopee is using MXP but not the snooper
- The snooper is using MXP but not the snoopee
- You are both using MXP
I think in the last case you would see tags converted twice, (eg. < becomes < ) and in the first case it wouldn't matter.
I think the solution is to move the snoop code from flush_buffer, to write_to_buffer.
That way the decision about how to process MXP tags is done for the target of the write, and not done twice. |
