If there is a "space" in the persons name.
Swift Wolf wrote:/msg Cosair Hello
Cosair sees an envelope, opens it and sees:

Code: Select all

Swift Wolf: Hello
hits check and sees:

Code: Select all

/msg Swift Wolf
types in Hi back:

Code: Select all

/msg Swift Wolf Hi back
ENTER

Game thinks Corsair sent a /msg to "Swift"

Code: Select all

Wolf Hi back
OOPS!
Modify the return message to "/msg Swift+Wolf" to get the correct recipient. I'll ask comp to check this out, but in the meantime, this might help.

I remembered how player+names work from using commands back before i lost GM. Little things learned along the way can make a difference later, at least until my forgetter catches up to me. Lol

Well:
  1. read about it in a post at one time
    • wrote it down in FT-tips-n-tricks.txt
  2. saw a msg ingame
    • added it to FT-tips-n-tricks.txt
  3. read it in mchat
    • added it to FT-tips-n-tricks.txt
:ugeek:

NOW: if only I could remember where FT-tips-n-tricks.txt is :?: :!: :oops:

______________________________
It's a BIG lie, I have no FT-tips-n-tricks.txt file :arrow: but I should have with my forgetter.

It is fixed now in new beta 7.5.1 :)
