Mudlet having troubles with a script on startup

Hey all,

I've been having an issue that I don't quite understand. On startup of my profile, svof gets loaded after login. But it appears that AK41's @ml_oprompt doesn't work automatically.

When I check the script that has the definition for that prompt, mudlet shows the bug-icon on that script. However, when I click ON the script, the bug-icon disappears and the prompt-tag works perfectly again.

See https://ada-young.appspot.com/pastebin/ymur1A70 for a snippet of the output in mudlet, and the attached snippets for more information. Note: when I click the script, there is a warning for about 0.1 second, which is impossible for me to read. After that the warning vanishes and everything is a-okay.

Anyone got any suggestions on how to tackle the issue permanently?


Thanks,

  • Ah! I actually did use the raise event, but forgot to make a function around the svo.adddefinition() call. Fixed it up and it now works.

    Thanks for spotting the obvious that I kept missing. <3
  • Event handlers were just one of those things I didn't understand when I wrote the prompt for ak. You could probably just rename the script to the function name, since I should have all of the events in it already.

    Actually, there was no function around the svo.adddefinition call. That's what I added (plus renaming the script to the new function's name). That was what fixed it.

    But since the rest of AK seems to be pretty boss, I forgive you :).

    (I did change a few bits around to make it more sentinel aware and suit my needs, but otherwise: really nice job!)
  • Speaking of script issues.  I made an elixlist tracker that loads a miniconsole.  Works fine except sometimes I have to hit the alias to populate it twice before it works.  And my Items in Room doesn't load when I start Mudlet.  I have to go into the folder and Deactivate/activate it to get it working right.  Any ideas why?

    Do you get an error message? Does it require a variable that doesn't exist initially (at script start up) yet is loaded later? Likely reason is scripts loading in the wrong order.

  • Yeah, I have it dead last, but realized I log on blind so it has to wait until I touch mindseye.  Duh, I guess
