This issue needs to be closed and there is no appropriate status, so will set it to "Opinion" just for migration purposes. ** Bug watch added: github.com/Mudlet/Mudlet/issues #772 https://github.com/Mudlet/Mudlet/issues/772 ** Changed in: mudlet Status: New => Opinion -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Mudlet Makers, which is subscribed to Mudlet. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1380455 Title: MXP line tag 4 does not revert to prior mode at end of tag Status in Mudlet: Opinion Bug description: The MXP spec says that line tag 4 should enable secure mode, but only for the next tag. It should revert back to its prior mode after the tag has closed. When Mudlet receive line tag 4, it switches to secure mode, but it sticks permanently rather than reverting back as it should. This causes some problems for certain MUDs. For example, in Lusternia (and presumably other IRE MUDs), they exclusively send MXP via line tag 4 for their MXP command. When a user turns off MXP on the server, Lusternia stops sending MXP commands to Mudlet. But, Mudlet is still stuck in MXP security mode because it didn't revert back at the end of each tag. This causes it to squelch anything between a < and >, mistakingly thinking them as MXP tags. MXP references: https://web.archive.org/web/20101023084054/http://www.mudstandards.org/MXP_Line_Tags www.zuggsoft.com/zmud/mxp.htm#MXP%20Line%20Tags I have attached a patch to fix this bug. If you want to reproduce the bug, here are steps using Lusternia as your host (or possibly any IRE game). Enter these commands: CONFIG MXP ON CONFIG MXP OFF SAY <Yo!> With this bug, the second <Yo!> that is echoed back is squelched. With my patch, it works fine.
