B.1.

Is "Grizzt" included in the documentation?

Unfortunately no. Grizzt may be included in some future version, though.

B.2.

When will next version of GgrTF be released?

"When it's done."

B.3.

How to get rid of the battle round flag/marker?

The round marker (long line of asterisks "*") is required for GgrTF's internal functionality, but you can gag it with following piece of code (add it to your .tfrc or similar):

/test prlist_insert("event_battle_round", "myroundgag")
/def -i myroundgag = /substitute -ag

The first line adds macro "myroundgag" to be executed on each round marker, the second line defines that macro and sets it to gag the round marker.

B.4.

My statusline is not updating, why?

Maybe you haven't properly set up your 'short score' or 'prompt' in BatMUD. See setup-section for how to do that.

B.5.

How can I get my settings saved automatically? Or can I?

Automatic saving and loading is possible, please refer to state-saving and setup -sections of this manual for more information.

B.6.

A spell/prot cast by others at me registers in prot-reporting, but does not work when I cast it on myself!

This is most likely a bug, please report the issue on GgrTF's bugtracker. Remember to include the lines you get when you cast the spell on yourself (aka the "prot goes up"-line).

Also see the next question below.

B.7.

Sometimes the spellword translator does not work, what gives?

Your 'cutter'-setting might be too small, the default in BatMUD is 80, which adds hard linefeeds too early on a line, thus breaking many triggers of GgrTF, including GgrTF::Spellnames module. 'cutter 9999' or 'cutter off' should fix this problem.

Please refer to BatMUD settings -section of this manual for correct in-game settings.

B.8.

The TF5 module does not work! I am using TF 5.0 beta 6 or older.

The functionality used by the TF5 module was introduced in TF 5.0 beta 7, so you need to have that or a later version.
