Hi all,

I'm using KMuddy 1.0.1 and I'm having a bit of a problem. I play a MUD called Cities of M'Dhoria, and when I set a custom prompt it delays the appearance of the prompt by about half a second. I'm certain this is not lag, as the rest of the game is responsive as ever, it's just that the prompt isn't appearing for half a second. Interestingly, if you set the prompt to two lines, then only the last line will be delayed.

I'm not sure if this is related, but the "show prompt in statusbar" feature of KMuddy doesn't work with this MUD. It just shows the first query it shows you when you connect "Do you want ansi color? y/n"

Thanks,
Jonathan

Oh, and I have tried in other MUD clients and have found this to not be an issue with them. Unfortunately I like KMuddy a lot better than the others I've found.

Hmm, whatever fiddling I did, with a new start everything works as expected. A bit fragile I suppose, but for my purposes the issue is fixed.

The MUD needs to mark prompts accordingly, otherwise they will be delayed a bit as KMuddy doesn't know that they are prompts and waits for the rest of the line. Apparently yours started doing so only after a reconnect, for whatever reason.
