Let's start a list of any messages that are not correct. Spells, combat, whatever. Please post an example of the message, and any other information that will help us fix it, such as if it is from a spell, what spell, is it the 1st person, 2nd person, or 3rd person message that is wrong, ect...
1st person message is the message the attacker (you) sees
2nd person message is the message the target sees
3rd person message is the message everyone else in the room sees
We're close to v0.9, so we need to compile a list of msgs to work on after 0.9
I'll start
Mob combat spells that have "The" already in the spell description display "The The <monster>" to the 2nd and 3rd person.

Thats an exit message, I wish I had the cap with the monsters in the room..looks like all that needs to be added is that
In an exit message, with 2 %s the first %s is the monster name, and the second is the direction.
Could this error have to do with the entrance message having no %s?
Note, with rare exception, exit messages and %s leave to the %s. Sometimes there is only 1 %s, in this case the single %s is the direction.
The rare message without a 2nd %s comes from metro's first attempts at content, mod-7.
Btw chase messages are line 3, they havent worked in MMUD for soemtime but every monster has them, its what the player being chased sees when the monster enters the room. They use the same style, if 2 %s's then its Name then direction, if 1, then just direction.
The messages really arent very complicated let me know as soon as you want to work on them, or at least get all the info that you don't have already.

You are standing in the entry to what was once a grand mansion. The room is
covered in dust and cobwebs to such an extent that only the outlines of decor

there is a doorway to the west, but it is covered in dense cobwebs.
Not a big thing, but still not correct :)

Ah..this is KINDA right, as they have no message..it shouldn't display the blank line though.
An important one for the PVP realm. Not sure if it has been posted yet, but it has been around for ages so I thought I might bring peoples attention to it.
When a spellcaster casts a combat spell on you, the message you receive currently is:
<other player> moves to attack <your name>!
ie. Ptery moves to attack Miyamoto!
instead of Ptery moves to attack you!
This means that unless you have special message responses set up, megamud will ignore the fact that a spellcaster has moved to attack you.

Ok, so when a player attempts to backstab another player and misses, this is what the person being backstabbed sees:
<player> lunges at at you!
<player> swings at at you!
<player> swipes at at you!
And so on.
Some weapons seem to correctly do:
<player> swings at you!
I believe backstabbing with your fists gives the correct message.
Also, the current message that a person sees in Greatermud when someone attacks them with a spell is:
<player> moves to cast <spell name> upon you.
I can't remember what this is meant to be in regular Majormud. My memory tells me that attacking someone with spells in regular mud just gave them the message
<player> moves to attack you!
But it has been a fair while since I last played on a regular board so I'm very likely wrong. Maybe Greatermud just needs to change the full stop to an exclamation mark?
Perhaps if it does only give the former, we could have both display so that Megamud recognises the pvp combat source, but we also get the bonus message about what spell is being cast, such as:
<player> moves to attack you!
<player> moves to to cast <spell name> on you!
