Wizard Joined: 14 Oct 2000 Posts: 1368

1. Open cMUD
2. Create a new session to some MUD, e.g Silver Bridge(the one I tested with) and connect to it
3. Login with an already existing character. Enter username and password.
4. Notice no password window is shown at first login.
5. Quit
6. Click reconnect
7. Enter username and password
8. Auto-Login wizard appears. Click 'Yes'.
9. Quit
10. Reconnect
11. Notice no autologin occurs!
12. Enter username and password again. Note that even if you close cMUD and connect what happens below will still occur and no autologin occurs.
13. Auto-Login wizard appears. Click 'Yes'.
14. Quit
15. Reconnect. Notice how it tries to "double login" with username as both password and username. Check the 'autolog' class and notice that there are duplicate triggers for login.

This happened to me:

I logged into Achaea using the session icon, I entered my username and password, then it gave the verifiction window for autologin to which I clicked yes.

The next time I logged in, it didn't autologin, I entered my username and password, the verifiction window came up again to which I clicked yes

The next time I logged in it tried to autologin using my playername as both username and password.

I ended up deleting the autologin folder to fix this problem.

Same error in 2.10.

After the first time you click "Yes", then the next time you run your session, click the Edit Session action and go to the Characters tab and see if your username and password have been filled in (well, your password will just show as *s), and check to see if the "Autologin" checkbox on that screen is enabled.

And yes, the "feature" where it only prompts for autologin the second time you log into the session is the way it is designed to work, and the way zMUD has worked for many many years.

I confirm this behaviour, I filled the password field in and it worked fine.

OK, that helps a lot in determining the problem. It's probably from when I moved the passwords to the sessionkeys.db encrypted file. Somehow it isn't setting the password there. Added to the bug list.

I haven't reported it as a bug (yet), but this probably explains why passwords are not being imported from zMUD's chardb.db either.

Actually, passwords *should* be imported from zMUD chardb.db. At least it works for me. I assume you are talking about the zMUD Import wizard that you access from the Session window File menu?

No, I'm talking about copying the chardb.db into the CMUD folder before running CMUD for the first time.

This error still appears in version 2.13.

Bumped this in the bug list.

OK, please tell me exactly what issue you are bumping. This thread contains multiple issues and the problem with the passwords not being copied from the chardb.db file is working fine for me here.

OK, I'll put this back on the bug list for January. But it isn't a critical issue. You can just use Edit Session and go to the Characters tab and enter your password there to get it to store properly.
