Hashes, by definition, are not guaranteed to be unique. Collisions happen. It appears that getRoomIDbyHash / setRoomIDbyHash were intended for use with unique values. That makes them function like unique keys rather than hashes. Which is where the request I made comes in. Give us at least the option...

Which would be why I'm suggesting things that would drastically reduce the amount of work I need to do without requiring much effort, and without greatly (or likely at all) impact other users. Thank you Jor'Mox for your suggestions. While I'm afraid I disagree with your assessment of what my project...

As a side note, there is also a much easier way to handle the | separator issue, using a simple alias in combination with good pattern matching etiquette for other aliases. Have one alias that matches anything with a | in it. Split the command using | as a delimiter, and pass the trimmed results th...

Ok, this is all how the MUD works, so I don't have any control over this: 1) I need to process prefixes: * # and $ which when leading a string, cause special behavior. The whitespace rules for each of these prefixes are annoying different (for example, " $stand" doesn't work, but " #s...

Sadly, for what I'm doing I basically need to ignore aliases and code an entire alias system in Lua just because of this. Which is frustrating because inserting "data = Lua->get_lua_string( lua_command_string );" above line 283 in AliasUnit.cpp (anywhere in that block) should solve this is...

That's really unfortunate. I don't really find this ideal for aliases at all.

I'm currently using SHA2 on room name + description and even with bitops in pure Lua, I don't have any speed issues despite hashing every room I enter. Which reminds me, a reverse hash lookup getHashbyRoomID would be helpful in a few spots.

I'm having an issue with aliases that might not be intended. First, from the Mudlet Wiki on the Alias Engine (emphasis mine): The initial user command is being held in the Lua variable command. When this value changes within the alias unit processing chain, the initial user input that the aliases wo...

I'm having an issue with strange hit boxes on map labels. I create a label with the following: createMapLabel(2, "The Eastern Road", 5, -11, 0, 255, 255, 255, 170, 0, 0, 0, 10) And the label appears, but its hit box is messed up. It goes from the top left corner of the label to the top lef...

Ok, the MUD itself processes pipes as command separators. This isn't a feature I'm adding, it's all coming from the MUD. So if I send "n|n|e|d" over even a basic telnet client, the MUD will queue up 4 movement commands. Because my scripting needs to know exactly what commands are being exe...
