LOCALMSG in door

[Cor]

Hi,

I have a Music Room.
And I have door into the Music Room with this script

ON ENTER
{ 
   "Welcome in to the Music Box. For a list with track titles typ "songlist". The list appears in you log." LOCALMSG
   "To control the Music Box you use the >> "Forward" en << "Backward" buttons to cycle through the list." LOCALMSG
   "Use the Stop and Play buttons to Start or Stop the music." LOCALMSG
   0 6 SETSPOTSTATELOCAL
   1 7 SETSPOTSTATELOCAL
   songList GLOBAL
   songNumber GLOBAL
   1 songNumber =
   2 ARRAY songList =
   ["nummer2.wav" "***.wav" ] songList =
   songNumber tempNumber =
   tempNumber --
   songList tempNumber GET tempStr =
   }
ON OUTCHAT {
   { 
      { LOGMSG } [ "1- test" "2 - ***" ] FOREACH
      } CHATSTR "^songlist" GREPSTR IF
   }

The problem is after a while hte LOCALMSG gets corrupt.
A couple of days it goes fine, but then it only shows half sentences.
Instead of "Welcome in to the Music Box. For a list with track titles typ "songlist". The list appears in you log."
It only says "The list appears in you log."

LOCALMSG 2 says,
"buttons to cycle through the list." instead of "To control the Music Box you use the >> "Forward" en << "Backward" buttons to cycle through the list."

Only LOCALMSG 3 goes correct.

What is this?

Greetings Cor

Does it happen like that in the log window, too?

You should remove the " " from the "songlist" and other text, you can only use " at the beginning and the end of a sentense when using LOCALMSG

It also sounds like your using the windows server and have perhaps the same script in several rooms? It might be possible memory leaks in the Palace server trash the script and write it back the wrong way. Do you ever edit with more then one person on your server? Perhaps you edited a script while having a bad connection?

A lot of things can influence a Palace server, its very sensitive to
properly closed doors and author mode.

Anyway, make sure your not using the " in the middle of any text and you should be fine.

I removed it and it works fine again.

Now I watched in the backup and I see I first had \"songlist\".
This works also fine, but it looks like the palace sever just deleted the \.
Very odd.

(Why you thought I was using a windows server? because I use a linux server :) , did I do something wrong?)

[maarten]

Yep you need the \ in front of any " if its withing any message text.

Actually I figured if you where just starting and you might build at home first then waste money on hosting :)

windows servers are known for messing scripts and rooms up if you get regular traffic on them.
