Shattered Kingdoms

I'd like to see a command where you type and it immediate breaks any further actions your character is going to do.

For example:

I type e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e

and as I walk, realize I typed too many 'e's, so I type halt and afterwards all the commands I had queued are stopped.

Same with typing

c 'magic missile' x50

It'll finish that cast, but all the further commands entered are erased.

Can we get something like this?

The game only processes one command at a time. It is your client which feeds them sequentially to the game.

When I hit 'enter', it sends the command to the mud in the form of a packet. The mud receives it and keeps it in some form of buffer. The mud then executes the next command when the current one has been processed.

It -should- be possible for the mud to look for the halt command and clear a character's command buffer.

Its certainly possible. The better question is how much work would it take. That depends on the way the buffer is setup...

Simple salution, don't spam things like that.

More trouble than it's worth.

ALT + F + R = reconnect for zmud users, then it takes a second or two to enter name/PW.

As good as it gets.

It should be possible to achieve the desired result by clever client coding.

I relog, when I over spam, but I try not to alot more than I used to.

Relog, is about your best bet.
