Description

Describe the bug
running check_version on connect seems to have the potential to get buried in scroll during the login process. A novice user is likely not to notice the opportunity to run map update and persist with an outdated script unnecessarily.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Create new profile
  2. Uninstall generic_mapper
  3. Install discMapper
  4. Connect to Discworld
  5. Scroll back in buffer

Expected behavior
Since discMapper is game-specific, maybe we can just have it triggered instead when the character inventory is regenerated.

Environment (please complete the following information):

  • discMapper Version: 0.3.0-beta
  • Mudlet Version: 4.9.1
  • OS: win10

Research direction

Start by tracing where check_version runs during the connect and login process, then locate how character inventory regeneration is handled. Confirm the current scroll behavior and treat the issue as done when the version check is triggered at inventory regeneration; no files or tests are named.
