INFO bugs DESCRIPTION What is a bug? A bug is something in the creation that does not work as intended. They might be seen as flaws in the world, and should be removed. In order to make NannyMUD a better place, bugs should be reported when found; if not, how can they be fixed? There are two commands available to this end, 'bug' and 'report'. Both makes it possible for you to make a bug report without the help of a Wizard. There are several different kinds of bugs, and some are quite hard to detect. Others are very easy to spot. The bugs will be described here as they appear to mortals; the details that wizards get will not be revealed. 1/ The 'wrongess in the fabric of space' bug. This is very easy to detect. You do an action, and get the above as a part of the bug message. Use the command 'bug' on the spot. Be as detailed as possible; what you did, what you expected would happen etc. 2/ The 'drop all stuff' bug. This is also very easy to detect. Suddenly, you drop all and everything you are wearing. If this happen, we need to know what things you had, and quite possibly what you had before, and where you have been in the game. This is not an easy bug to remove; it will help if we can talk to you. Use 'bug', then talk to a wizard. 3/ The 'cardiac arrest' bug. There is no doubt you will note this. You get a message about it, as do the people in the same location as you. This is a serious bug, and usually it is due to malfunctioning equipment. 4/ The 'monster doesn't hit back' bug. Typically for this one, the monster starts hitting you, then stop. If you include what weapon you used, we'd be much obliged. 5/ The 'infinite amount' bug. In some cases, monsters/items re-appear in a very short period of time, like every time you enter a room, or when you pick up an item, leave the room and the item reappear when you re-enter. Many players think this a boon, but just you wait until it is an infinite amount of aggressive monsters... 6/ The 'money less than zero' bug. If you manage to get a negative amount of money, you should report it at once. The effects on the game are as negative as the amount you have.
