Yep. That fixed the problem I was seeing on 0.6

Seems to work for me.

I installed andlinux for testing and after a bit of digging around it looks like there was a problem with the socket writeMultiByte method. Why this works fine under Windows and not in Linux is anyone’s guess.

Changing it to loop through and write one byte at a time seems to fix the problem. How strange.

I’ll do a bit more testing and release an update later/tomorrow if it seems ok.

The latest version is up at the demo page so see if that works for you now.

There’s definitely an issue with Flash 10 under Linux, for at least this version and the previous version of the client. Instead of getting nice, normal input to the server (which I do under Windows) I get the following. Keep in mind that all I am doing on the client side is typing “1″ and pressing enter yet I get varied input on the server side. Each line is me pressing enter once:

“|\233\272\255\204\233\272\255″
“\270\233\272\255″
“$\234\272\255″
“\220\234\272\255″
“\374\234\272\255″
“h\235\272\255″
“\324\235\272\255″
“\314\237\272\255\300\237\272\255\310\237\272\255″

I just tested out this version on my site and i have to say it is a great improvement over the last version, especially how the text is now rendered without the extra space between the lines.

Nice Work,

I guess it may be an issue in the linux player, because I
just tried 10 on Windows and had no problem.

Yes I connected and went into character creation – name, password, email etc.

It seems we’re both using the same browser and player versions, so I don’t know what could be causing the problem. I am on Windows so maybe it is something Linux related. Unfortunately as I can’t reproduce the problem I can’t do much to debug it, but thanks for the feedback I will look into it.

Correction…two different Linuxes.
10 isn’t out for Solaris x86 yet ;)

Interesting. Did you connect and log in, or just
do an initial connect? Try logging in all the way.

I’ve run into this on Linux and Solaris, using Firefox
3.0.3 and 3.0.1, using Flash 10.0.0r12, downloaded
today from their site.

When I switch back to 9 the problem goes away.

That is odd as I am not seeing that with 10,0,12,36 and Firefox 3.0.3. I’ve just tried the muds listed on your link and can connect to them all successfully.

What exact version of Flash Player 10 are you using and what browser?
