Not sure where to put this, don't think it's an engine thing.  Looks like Monkey Spirit needs a message for movement?

The %s runs along the wall to the %d.

Its the monkey's move message and as far as I know its just wrong, I don't know what that would display in mmud.  I'll note this in my log to fix though.

Also, the Death Minion had something similar:

The nowhere sweeps in from %s.

Quite a few mobs still have the blank line as the walking message. The dark-elf royal guards for example.

Quite a few mobs still have the blank line as the walking message. The dark-elf royal guards for example.

That's because dark-elf royal guards use message #66 for movement. Message #66 has 3 entries: all of which are blank lines.

The engine reports blank messages instead of just not displaying them. It's important to note that message 66 in MajorMUD seems to point to a default engine message in several cases. In cases of movement, it displays like this:

depraved murderer moves into the room from the north.

which is...

%s moves into the room from %s. (The MajorMUD engine applies "the" before the direction name unless the direction of movement is down or up, which are simply displayed as 'below' or 'above')

Most if not all of the blank messages during monster movement on Greatermud are caused by this engine pointing to the blank lines instead of a hardcoded engine default like in MajorMUD.

Note: This is not the cause of ALL blank messages, but IS the cause of blank movement lines on any monster using message 66 for a move message (and there are a lot of them).

I could be wrong (been a long long time since I played MajorMUD itself, but from memory I thought the royal dark-elf gaurds weere stealth (i.e on MajorMUD it would have shown NO line when they spawned).  Could be wrong though, been a long time.
