Try dropping in a ton of color codes in a note fill it up and then copyover. It crashes for me. https://smaugmuds.afkmods.com/topic/bug-boards-wont-load-properly-4405/&p=20650#p20650 Mon, 26 Apr 2010 13:52:34 CDT SWR FUSS nobody@example.com (Keirath) https://smaugmuds.afkmods.com/topic/bug-boards-wont-load-properly-4405/&p=20649#p20649 What about a Buffer full message? Editor.c of swfotefuss: [code] if( TOTAL_BUFFER_SIZE( edd ) + linelen + 2 >= edd->max_size ) { send_to_char( "Buffer full.\r\n", ch ); editor_save( ch, edd, "" ); } [/code] I tried to fill up a mail note and got that. I'll dig some more, but take a peek at your mail file and see if there is something missing. ayuri https://smaugmuds.afkmods.com/topic/bug-boards-wont-load-properly-4405/&p=20649#p20649 Mon, 26 Apr 2010 12:59:50 CDT SWR FUSS nobody@example.com (ayuri) https://smaugmuds.afkmods.com/topic/bug-boards-wont-load-properly-4405/&p=20648#p20648 Take a look at your MSL defines in mud.h My best guess is the End at the end of the message file is getting chopped off. Default I think the mud can handle 49 lines, or 4094( or 3) bytes. It's defined as 4096 but the \n\r takes up two char spots. Kinda graspin at straws here, but I remember seeing something similar happen to me. ayuri https://smaugmuds.afkmods.com/topic/bug-boards-wont-load-properly-4405/&p=20648#p20648 Mon, 26 Apr 2010 12:52:20 CDT SWR FUSS nobody@example.com (ayuri) https://smaugmuds.afkmods.com/topic/bug-boards-wont-load-properly-4405/&p=20647#p20647 The MUD I work on has been having some problems with crashing lately. It seems that people are sending very long notes through the mail system. When the MUD goes to load, we receive this: [code]Mon Apr 26 10:37:58 2010 :: ../boards/mail_net Mon Apr 26 10:37:58 2010 :: [*****] BUG: fread_string: string too long Mon Apr 26 10:37:58 2010 :: [*****] BUG: read_note: bad key word[/code] It seems to me like the buffer doesn't count color codes when you input data but I'm not sure. Anyone ever exp https://smaugmuds.afkmods.com/topic/bug-boards-wont-load-properly-4405/&p=20647#p20647 Mon, 26 Apr 2010 09:43:38 CDT SWR FUSS nobody@example.com (Keirath)
