OK so that bit of code needs some lovin' but what IS it testing for? I was thinking some sort detection that the four variables needed initialisation - and its always good that variables get initialised as I heard that all sorts of weirdness results when uninitialised ones get used...

I note on line 348 of the current code there are multiple comparisons which throw up multiple GCC warnings: "warning: suggest parentheses around comparison in operand of ‘==’" what are these tests supposed to be establishing - is it equality of all four variables because if I recall C/C++ ...

Humm, speaking as a player of a MUD (wotmud.org:2222) that uses the deleting backspace to erase and draw a single new character in the same place (to indicate a running action that takes time to complete: "bash"ing an opponent; using the "One Power" e.g. Magic; etc.) the mess tha...

However you may find an issue with getting all the rooms for just one area in the current git [rev 660?] code, see bug 1174484.

P.S. I don't think you are involving yourself in necromancy here - this thread still has traces of life in it!

I found this, and it might just provide some insight for those of us for whom C++ is something we are trying to get the hang of... FQA (Frequently Questioned Answers)

Well for TinTin++ I had space to put an "!" in one part of the 6x3 character "cell" that was used for for the "detailed" (#MAP FLAG ASCIIGRAPHICS ON) drawing mode by doing pretty much that (though there wasn't "in" or "out" included in the standard e...

Currently the UI to add stub exits is via a number code that specifies the direction that a stub on the map is drawn. This takes care of marking an exit in a known direction n, ne,..., nw, up, down, (and "in" & "out" once the map drawing code gets "fixed") - if we w...

... I get a long integer instead. Looks like this: -3.4694469519536e-018 ... Though I'm still miffed as to why I receive that large number in the first place. Um, actually that is a rather small number - that is of the order of - 0.0000000000000000036 I think and basically come down to the fact you...

Can I just check on the use of return values by the various items in this file (not those related to the actual LUA sub-system but the various things that use that sub-system) that have the form: int TLuaInterpreter:: somefunction ( lua_State *L ) functions? As I see it: The return values which seem...

@Vadi: At least one MUD (with perhaps coders in absentia ) does not offer such interesting features such as GMCP - and keeping track of where you are is an issue, I speak of WoTMUD but I'd be surprised if that was the only one. Comparing your location by Room Name alone doesn't work e.g. you might h...
