Annoying "feature" (crashes mega) [MINOR]

[Ian]

Currently there appears to be no limit on the length of gossips.? Any gossip over 512 chars long crashes megamud with a buffer overflow.
Apparently you can only send 127 chars to mmud before you start getting ding's in response, instead of echo'd chars.

Edit: let me rephrase that.  Any gossip >=512 chars

[Ian]

And a warning to you all.

We know it works this way.  We don't need to test it.  Anyone who exploits this I will hunt down and reroll.

[DeathCow]

Scary ian,  scary. :P

[DeathCow]

I'm not sure it works, maybe someone should copy and past a long message into gossip.

[Ian]

IT WORKS FOR GOD'S SAKE, BELIEVE ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[DeathCow]

I dunno, what if it was only for biology..biology does pwn you know.

[Locke Cole]

I agree with DeathCow, more testing of this strange new phenomenon is necessary I think. I think hourly testing might be best.

[Ian]

You guys suck noodles.

:???:

Good Idea, I'll create an event for it.

[Vitoc]

Fixed

[DeathCow]

Asshole.

Asshole.

You're the jackass explaining how meiosis works over gossip, and I'm the asshole?? It's my belief that it wasn't a buffer limit that crashes MegaMUD, but rather Mega becoming self aware and saying "Screw this, I don't want to hear this crap".? So when millions have died at the hands of machines, we all know who to blame for starting this war.

So I was playing trivia on fhq the other day and i went afk, this is what I saw when i returned..

<FHQ-TRIVIABOT> 1621. 'Panther Cap', 'Stinkhorn' and 'Penny Bun' are types of which plants?
<FHQ-TRIVIABOT> Here's a hint, f----
<FHQ-TRIVIABOT> Here's a hint, fu---
<FHQ-TRIVIABOT> Time's up! The answer was: fungi

PLANTS?

Botanical nomenclature,ICBN is independent of zoological and bacteriological nomenclature, which are governed by their own Codes.

The ICBN applies not only to plants, as they are now defined, but also to other organisms traditionally studied by botanists. This includes blue-green algae (Cyanobacteria); fungi, including chytrids, oomycetes, and slime moulds; photosynthetic protists and taxonomically related non-photosynthetic groups. There are special provisions in the ICBN for some of these groups, as there are for fossils.

Fungi, unlike embryophytes and algae, are non-photosynthetic, but are saprotrophs: obtaining food by breaking down and absorbing surrounding materials. Most fungi are formed by microscopic structures called hyphae, which may or may not be divided into cells but contain eukaryotic nuclei. Fruiting bodies, of which mushrooms are most familiar, are the reproductive structures of fungi. They are not related to any of the photosynthetic groups, but are close relatives of animals. Therefore, the fungi are in a kingdom of their own.
