Character manager broken

[Jaimaltz]

Stuck in the character manager. Can't use any of the options, it just ignores me. Logging out/back in doesn't work as it brings me back in the character manager. I don't use goals because I'm running the wizard on linux using WINE - the goals command doesn't work since it doesn't know how to open Firefox.

GEMSTONE IV CHARACTER MANAGER SYSTEM

Character: Jaimaltz

1. View your stats
2. View your skills and spells
3. Adjust Skill Goals
4. Done
86. Start again! (recreate your character)

Enter selection and press enter:
>3

(I wait 30 seconds to make sure it's not lag or anything else)

look
That's not a valid option.

None of the other options work, just stuck. Really gay.

Borrow someone's computer to hop on via Java or have a friend login the account?

[Jaimaltz]

Weird, going in with the java front end worked for about 30 seconds and then crashed, but long enough to get out of the character manager.

Good suggestion, thanks.

Also, I think I found the source of the problem, it's the lich script ;voodoo

Since it takes commands that start with numbers such as "702 orc" and does a similar thing to the way psinet does it, it'll trip up when you're in the character manager because all the commands start with numbers too. Turning it off fixes the problem.

[Jaimaltz]

For those that use that script and are curious, changing line 8 from this:

if client_string =~ /^(?:<c>)?[0-9]+\s*\w*/

to this:

if client_string =~ /^(?:<c>)?[0-9]+[0-9]+[0-9]+\s*\w*/


And line 61 from this:

if line =~ /^(?:<c>)?[0-9]+\s*\w*/

To this:

if line =~ /^(?:<c>)?[0-9]+[0-9]+[0-9]+\s*\w*/

fixes the issue, since it'll only trigger when there's 3 numbers in a row.

yeah, has to be the lich version.

The only conflit psinet vodoo has is when you're setting your stats in the character manager. you can't change your DIScipline (dis=disentegrate)
