Bug command

The BUG command is used while in-game to report a bug to Simutronics staff. The command works differently depending on which front end is being used.
The BUG command in-game sends an email to the appropriate staff member.

If you have things like screenshots that may be useful let us know in the BUG report and we'll contact you if the GM who ends up handling the bug thinks it will help.

Syntax

Stormfront

BUG {category};{title};{text}

ex. BUG room;The description is missing;The room description is blank for the interior of Abu's House of Weapons.

Genie

For Genie and any other FE with a mapped semi-colon:

BUG {category}\;{title}\;{text}

BUG {category}~;{title}~;{text}

Wizard

In the Wizard front end, typing bug will produce syntax help as below:

This will issue an email to play.net's bug tracking database.  Be as detailed as possible, describing what
you were doing, the behavior you expected, and the behavior you experienced.  Preferably you should be in
the same room you were in when the bug occurred, holding the same equipment, and wearing the same gear, as
this information will be included in the bug report.  DO NOT ISSUE BUG REPORTS FOR GAME CRASHES OR LAG
PROBLEMS.  Do not use this mechanism to make suggestions or feature requests.  Those should be posted to the
forums.
