Yet another automapper issue
|
I've encountered this problem before, but usually a restart and such fixes it. The mapper simply isn't showing. The mud loads, the map loads, but the window's nowhere to be seen, anywhere on my screen. Clicking the "map" icon on top doesn't work. Even after I changed the resolution and moved every window on my screen around, I couldn't dig the thing out. I also tried making a new character, so that it'd have blank settings, and no dice. Went to Preferences-Window options and clicked taskbar options for the mapper, and nothing. Clearly the automapper hates me. Anything I can bribe it with?

Try holding shift and loading the session offline - this'll recreate the layout file and will hopefully get the mapper to show. If you can consistently get the mapper into this hidden state, make sure you share the information with us :)

This has been mentioned before. I believe it has something to do with a corrupted layout file.
Try this. Start your session offline while holding the Shift key. This forces CMUD to ignore your layout file and see if that helps.
Since you mentioned that it happened on a blank session too, you may consider deleting your .XLY files if the first option doesn't work. It deletes the layout files. CMUD automatically creates a new one none are there (however you will have to rearrange your windows again.)
I hope that helps.
[Edit] Fang beat me. |

No dice. And for clarification, I'm using zMUD 7.21, not cMUD.

There is also a window position stored in the zMud.ini. It is in the section [Map] and has size and coorindates. Relatively self explanatory to edit. Just remember that 0,0 is the top left corner of the screen.

Well, it wasn't really registering that the window was around at all. I ended up reinstalling zMUD and placing in the old map, but it doesn't seem to be following properly or editing, saying something about 'closed datasets.' Did I miss a file?
