I can't get them to work. It doesn't do anything/catch MXP tags. I tried the following functions on my server as well as the Two Towers MUD, and none of them catch anything. Both servers implement MXP, which is not activated through a protocol handshake but with CTRL + ALT + U and "Yes - Always" so that might be the issue(?) I also reduced the world window to see if there wasn't a "Notepad" screen undernearth.

function OnMXPEndTag (name, text)
  AppendToNotepad ("MXP", "Closing tag: " .. name .. "\n")
  AppendToNotepad ("MXP", "Text: " .. text .. "\n")
end -- function

function OnMXPEndTag (name, text)
  Note("test")
end -- function

function OnMXPerror (level, number, line, message)
  if level == "E" and number ~= 1030 then 
    ColourNote ("white", "red", level .. "(" .. number .. "): " message)
  end if

-- do not display entities received (eg. &lt; )
  if number == 20001 then 
     return 1
  end -- if

  return 0
end -- function

Are these in a plugin or the main world file? If the main world file did you fill in the function names here:

I'm using version 4.85. I call those functions in a plugin that does nothing but call them.

You are not using the right function names.

The client looks for the exact names documented there.

For one thing, all plugin callbacks start with: OnPlugin ...
