I have added this as bug #429.

As usual with computers, different languages do things in different ways. MUSHclient is written in C, where the inbuilt value of 'true' is 1, not -1.

However Visual Basic uses -1 as true, not 1.

About the only thing that various languages agree on is that "false" is zero.

Thus MUSHclient should really check incoming boolean variables to be "zero" or "not zero".

In other words, rather than this:


internal_echo_input = supplied_echo_input;


it should read:


internal_echo_input = supplied_echo_input != 0;


(In C "!=" means "is not equal to").

I've noticed that I'm experiencing the same effect. There is no input echo being displayed in the output buffer. The "Echo My Input In" box has been checked and when I open the input configuration window it is still checked with no output buffer echo.

Incidentally, the input buffer isn't storing commands either even though it's set to the default 5000 lines. This same world file works with my windows 2000 installation so I'm thinking that this will get filed under "More XP problems."

Anyone else?

Try checking "Ignore 'echo off' messages".

Just tried checking the Ignore echo off box. Same problem. I just noticed that the only line that seems to be getting stored in the input buffer is my login name for the mud. This wasn't happening when I was using the last version - is there a new feature I'm overlooking?

The only relevant new feature is the one to recognise "echo off" messages. You would need to check that box *before* connecting, so check it, save the world, disconnect, and reconnect.
