Perhaps I'm doing something wrong but...
No matter what I try to do to turn OFF the Pueblo/MXP recognition, I cannot get it to leave out tags that aren't actually ON the game. For example, with everything off, I still see NUMEROUS html/Pueblo tags. The exit names in the rooms in question, for example, contain the standard angle brackets for the exit aliases. With the "Detect Pueblo Initiation String" turned on, the formatting is only mildly incorrect: ">Nerat Hold <NH>
With the "Detect Pueblo Initation String" turned off, the formatting is COMPLETELY out of whack. The MUSH itself does have Pueblo support, but it is not being used actively. Is there something I'm missing? I've tried selecting "No Never", "On Command", et cetera, and I cannot make the formatting return to normal.
Help?

Please tell me the MUSH address/port so I can test it for myself.

Turning off Pueblo detection does not guarantee that the MUSH won't send the tags, that is up to it.

Also, try setting the combo box "Use MXP/Pueblo" to "no - never".

The game address? threadfall.firstmagic.com 4201
I've heard from other players that the same thing has been happening to them - but only since they've downloaded 3.15. I'm running an earlier version at home (this is a borrowed computer) and it still works fine.
I've tried every configuration I can think of with regards to "Yes - always", "No - never", etc. It just makes it look weird in different ways each time.

There is a problem on this MUSH with their implementation of Pueblo.

If you turn on the MXP "debug level" to "warnings" you will see a whole lot of warnings.

By turning on the packet debug we can see the problem ...

I have highlighted the problem parts in bold. They are sending ANSI "escape codes" in the middle of an MXP/Pueblo tag, which MUSHclient does not allow. To make it clearer, this is what they are sending, where ESC is the "escape" character hex 1B:


<a xch_cmd="Tutorial ESC[0m">Tutorial ESC[0m</a>


In the example above I have underlined the ANSI escape code. ESC [0m means "go back to default colours" - however it is not meaningful to put that inside a tag - the xch_cmd tag - because that tag is a command to the client to underline the next word and provide a hyperlink. You don't colour commands.

Thus it should look like this:


<a xch_cmd="Tutorial">ESC[0mTutorial ESC[0m</a>


Notice how in my corrected version the ANSI codes are now around the text itself, not inside the Pueblo tag.

I suggest you contact your friendly Wizard on the MUSH, and draw their attention to the problem, perhaps quoting this web page as a reference.

It would probably only be a very minor change to their code to fix it.

It worked OK for me if I turned off "detect Pueblo initiation string" before connecting. It is too late to do it afterwards, because the MUSH has decided to send the Pueblo tags, and it isn't about to change its mind. Thus, uncheck "detect Pueblo initiation string", then connect, and everything should be fine.
