Taking that out would probably fix it but when I was looking up strip_whitespace to see if it might be the issue i seen this as well [code] If y https://smaugmuds.afkmods.com/topic/help-problem-4806/&p=23580#p23580 Tue, 17 Mar 2015 23:19:07 CDT AFKMud Support & Development nobody@example.com (Remcon) https://smaugmuds.afkmods.com/topic/help-problem-4806/&p=23579#p23579 how does "help actflags" look? You are seeing it from two different spots and ways it seems. One is from here in help.cpp [code] /* * Strip leading '.' to allow initial blanks. */ if( pHelp->text[0] == '.' ) ch->pagerf( "%s\r\n", pHelp->text.substr( 1, pHelp->text.length( ) ).c_str() ); else ch->pagerf( "%s\r\n", pHelp->text.c_str() ); [/code] This I think that is jamming it all together since here it is in helps.dat in the system directory [code] https://smaugmuds.afkmods.com/topic/help-problem-4806/&p=23579#p23579 Tue, 17 Mar 2015 23:08:25 CDT AFKMud Support & Development nobody@example.com (Remcon) https://smaugmuds.afkmods.com/topic/help-problem-4806/&p=23578#p23578 Hi, I have a little problem with help on AFK mud 2.2.1: if I type: help acid Help level: 0 Usage : cast 'acid blast' <victim>Duration : InstantLevel : 15 Mage, 17 BardDamage : (caster's level)d4 up to a max of 200Save : vs. spells for half damageMinimum Cost : 18 ManaAcid Blast creates a powerful blast that deals a damaging blow of harmfulacid. One of the advantages to this spell over lightning bolt is that fewerthings are immune to acid and you get it at https://smaugmuds.afkmods.com/topic/help-problem-4806/&p=23578#p23578 Fri, 13 Mar 2015 18:39:17 CDT AFKMud Support & Development nobody@example.com (crone)
