LOOK getting longer each time it is executed.

[two-first-names]

I've no idea what is causing this, but I'm getting a very odd bug where the dynamic description gets bigger each time I LOOK

For reference, here is what I'm getting: Market Street

Leading up to the market square, the street is filled with little shops that hope to get attention from those going to and from the market. To your left is shoe store and the shoe store. To your right is tea house and the tea house. In the distance, you see a beggar. Obvious exits: north, south, shoe store, tea house. You see a cat. (22H 20M) l

Hm, looks like an annoying bug indeed! I'll look into it as soon as I can.

In the mean time, can I ask what version of Qt you are using? Thanks!

[two-first-names]

Qt5.0.2. Thanks.

Just noticed something, they're portals, yet the code in question (describeCharactersRelativeTo) is expecting characters.

[arendjr]

Yep, that indeed was related to the issue. But the real problem was the groupsTemplate was no longer copied using a deep clone after I introduced underscore.js. 82981e9 should fix it. Can you verify? Thanks!

[arendjr]

Oops, I just committed some experimental with that commit as well... ah, nevermind, it should do no harm :)

[two-first-names]

Actually, it looks to be an issue with the stuff in the ItemTexts array in Room.lookAtBy, I just commented it out and it looks fine. Of course, far from a fix. ;)

[two-first-names]

I'm willing to bet the issue is in this:

if (hasDynamicPortals)
  portalGroups[key].forEach(function(portal) {
    combinedItems.append(portal.nameWithDestinationFromRoom(self));
  });
}

[arendjr]

Yeah, I made a small adjustment to that code as well. But the root problem was because the portalGroups that code uses were coming out of VisualUtil.dividePortalsAndCharactersIntoGroups() which kept reusing the same data structure, instead of providing a fresh one each time as it should. Could you try if it works for you with the latest commit?

[two-first-names]

Much better! Thank you!
